Rules :

- DO NOT post answers, links, screenshots or level's elements. You'll get banned if you spoil the pleasure of others, even if they ask for.

If you request some help :

Don't be too specific but don't be too vague. It's rather hard to find the right way to ask but imagine yourself in a room with other players. You can't whisper and you need to solve a riddle, you have the right to ask for a clue those who have already solved it, but you don't want the other players to find before you. To understand what you're asking for, one should be at the same step. Don't spoil the steps for the others ! You can use metaphors if you want. Show us that you're smart!

Read this topic carefully, your question may have already been asked (and answered). There's no need to ask the same question twice, even if there's no answer.

If you help somebody :

Don't help him too much, don't deprive him the pleasure to find by himself, just guide him on the way without being too specific, using as much images, metaphors and maybe other riddles as you can. After all, you're smart too ;)!

If everybody plays by the rules, things will be much more funny and no one will get hurt.

Write in a correct language, ban SMS style and try to avoid spelling mistakes as much as possible.

I found something using

the **** method... I found the right extension after the point... but I can't find what's before it. Only sure about the third (******), and maybe the second...

Don't lose your habits. If you don't really know what you're looking for, look at the url, the page title and the like... Anything can be an hint.

Still stuck here with my extension... can't relate it with the title.

EDIT: found the i****... and then the other two... I wrote down and I have two three-letters words... One of these words returns me a page "Almost"...
Now I'm stuck...

That's exactly where I am stuck. Need a nudge.

The method you found the extension's letters with is maybe not the right one. Even if your extension is OK.
That's why you only get 3 letters before the point.

And read again what Toma said above ;)

All right, I've been stumped on this for several days. Obviously I've missed something. I've checked my sources thoroughly several times (especially since I overlooked the clue on the last level for so long. :P). I've looked for hidden text on the riddle itself. I've taken the numbers as h** c****s and tried f*****g in the b***s and overlaying them in various ways to see if that would give me a hint. I've found lists of web color names and crossreferenced them. I've looked up l****** p**** formatting from various states and countries to see if that might be the code, but no dice there either. I feel like there's a clue I missed, and I keep scouring the source, comparing it with previous levels and everything. I'm feeling particularly stupid. :|

Hi phreakymonkey and sorry for the delay, I'm to use to think your posts are providing help but not asking some. :P

It seems that you've been on the right track since the beginning. You haven't miss any clue so far but maybe haven't you notice something essential about the grid, espacially some of its lines.

Someone help me out.
I put in the h** c*****, and got ***.***
I got advice from someone that you use 2 letter from one of the f***s, so I put it in and got c***.***, and went to the first half of it, and What it seems I h ave to do, is find that c****'s h** c*** and put that in.
But I feel like mayeb I've been tricked, especially seeing Toma's post.
I googled and saw that there's such a thing as a C** License, so maybe I've been going the wrong way.
Do I pursue the license or the c****?

If you got almost, then remember what you're dealing with.

this is where i'm up to now. trying to translate appearances into a specific value is proving.... i mean i can look at it and say "That's blah" but getting the exact version of it is entirely different...

Edit: Ahhh, nevermind, provided list of tools can actually do more than I thought it could (wish I'd figured that out earlier) :)

If you get stumped at the "almost" page and you can't figure out at all what to do, think of how you found the first
Spoiler

and then it's easy street from there. If, however, you read this help are are still stuck, you probably didn't do the begining correctly and can't understand where the '*' came from. Find out why you should've logically used the '*' and then the jump from 'almost' will be a breeze.

After almost two years I come back, start game from the beginning, and now I'm stuck!
I think that I'm on right track here... But...
I read all posts here... and after all I have same problem.
OK. No clue for this one... It's already known that this is H** C***** codes... I check codes in PS and online... And when I type ***.*** there comes well known "Error 404" page... (nothing useful in source) :)
Help... Maybe, my (PS) decoding is wrong... or maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance.


Doup! :)

Does this involve somehow combining c*****? The only way I can think to do that would be to convert everything to binary first, but even then I wouldn't know what operator to apply. Everyone seems to have gotten letters out of that grid but I can't think of how that can be done.

hydralisk, did you see the red lines on the grid ? Maybe they are useful, and maybe other stuffs are ! ^^
