Level 22

[Kiara]

ok, I changed them to d****** the to b***** but i dont know how to change it to Xor on the Calc.

if you know what xor is you should know that you don't need a calculator for it just use a notepad

[Dark Light]

ON the windows calc. tho it sais Xor isn`t that it?

0.o ... i don't know... probably... but trust me, it's a whole lot easier to just look it up and do it by hand

[Dark Light]

Ok, this is what I did.  I took the word D****** changed it into D****a* then that into B***** and I put the numbers on windows calculator and put X** button between them all then it gave me a number

am I going the right way??

1)I turned the word from the 1st arrow into d****a* then b***** by hand.recheck with text-to-binary converter and got the same result
2)turned the other word givven into b*****
3) XOR the 1st with the 2nd and got a new b*****. recheck with xor on win calc
4a)converter gives some rectangles that cant be done anything with any editor -->dead end
4b)d****a* gives some letters all consonants
what am i doing wrong? any help PM me

yeah i finally woke up and it's already 11am

and lvl22 is still a hard thing to solve

i checked every posts on this forum

moreover i do know what 'decimal', 'binary', 'XOR', 'Ascii Codes' and 'conversion' means exactly.

but i'm stucked and i really don't know the 'progress' to make it right

actually i needed no helps from previous lvls but this time i need some..

no one seems to be online but any PM will help me...

Aha, finally figured this one out!  A few tips:
An arrow can point from something as well as to something.
Be sure to read the whole question and look at all the available data before you think something works wrong.
If you're learning something new, Wikipedia can be your friend.  And I've found that I learn better by figuring out what the example is trying to show me than trying to decipher the text in this particular wikipedia article.

I'm almost at the end of this one, I did all of the conversions but just can't seem to get the last string of d******* to the little s****** that you need to compare to the .jpg chart.  I've checked x** key, ASCII, and Unicode charts but I can't find any symbols that look as though they match.  It can't be as tricky as I'm making it.  Is there a specific encoding I need or what?  Should I convert to h******** and try to compare it to charts then? (which I'm going to try right now anyway, just in case).

EDIT: Haha, oh wow, coming back to it this morning I found the chart I needed right away. >.> I've solved it now.  I could've sworn I checked x** key combinations, but oh well.

For everyone else: Yes, don't waste time with ASCII.  It's probably there, but other charts are easier to use.

It doesn't work in notepad (nor UltraEdit32, I might add). Think back to level 6's clue if that might help you (also the reason why Mac users could experience problem on that one).

well ive searched up XOR key on wiki, but i dont have any clue as to wot it dus....
i cant seem to understand how to convert using XOR key, can some1 pm an explanation??
