Level 20

I'm pretty stuck as well.  I (think I) figured out the clue and am assuming that what I'm looking at is b*****.  When I try to convert, I get either get strange characters or am told that they aren't proper b***** c****.  And I still don't really understand what the arrows are pointing at.

Once you understand the arrows, it will make more sense.

well, naturally

the arrow up is p******* to the a****** b** (right?).  I really don't see what any of the words have to do with anything.  Is whatever this is p******* me toward supposed to help me further decode? 'cause I still can't get anything out of the numbers I have.

The purpose of this game is to further expand your mind through research and trial and error!
You'll never know, unless you try!!

No!

I'm still completely lost on this and am no further than I was yesterday, despite personal PMs (thanks by the way).  I haven't been able to find any information regarding b***** using less than 8 n*******, even though a previous post says "sometimes they do, sometimes they don't".  I just cannot make the correlation between the n****** and the arrow, even after trying to b****  the s***** apart.

kRaZyKiRb: Sorry, but how is anyone supposed to know what you mean if you "*******" your own post??
Choose words that are not level related, unless you're going to provide us some sort of deciphering tool!  The number of d***** can change dynamically, just as it does d******. Eight d***** is just a somewhat standardized form used by computers.

Set them aside for now and continue working with what you already know!

Hey, could anyone help me with this clue? I understand the process by which you solve it, but the notation is so hard to understand? Could anyone help me understand the method?

There should be nothing that is hard to understand if you know the process! There's nothing to read!

Mmm this one is giving me lots of trouble.

I've tried was was obvious, and a little not obvious yet nothing works so far. It is definitely something obvious I am just missing.

[sammyo17]

Ok i definately know the numbers and everything, but what do you do with them!?!?
It is definately the hardest clue yet.

[jongleur]

I agree. It is what to do after the first obvious step is completed that is throwing me off.

And I mean basic, like just after realizing what you are looking at.

This is where arrows come into play....

I can't type any number but 0 and 2. I can type alphabets though.
Is it only me or general restriction for this question?

It is a restriction. Purposely done so to keep you on the right track!

For all people complaining about internet programs not working for the b***** c*** that's given: if it don't work, don't use it. There are other ways to interpret the c***, like manually. That's how I had to do it, after exhausting every site I could find
