Level 22

[Swan]

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 think I have figured out the process for this one.  However, none of the answers I arrive at are correct.  Very frustrating especially since it should be fairly straight forward once the sequence is known.  Hmmm....  The .*** clue may be the problem - in no font text I have installed do the characters agree with this clue and unlike the previous ones I seem to be unable to find it online as I did the others.  And if it is the same as a previous one, how come they do not match?


rodolfu: You just need usual font texts such as Arial or Times New Roman

Are you using a laptop?

[Alienyst]

Actually a Tablet PC...

[phreakymonkey]

It might help to imagine you're using a Mac.

If you managed to do level 06, you should know the name of characters, you can use google to find what you can't do with your computer.

I think I understand what to do. I'm having trouble with the "XOR" portion of the puzzle. I seem unable to get the same results on repeat attempts, and the lack of consistency is maddening. Is it normal to get different results?

[glouton]

Hi Algo,

There's only one result possible if you do each step properly.

[luman]

my friend wishes to ask "does the xor key contain the same number of characters as the final answer?"

[glouton]

Yes it does. The number of characters stays the same from end to end.

[colquhoun22]

I still can't figure out how to change the last step back into something useful.

[glouton]

I guess you're missing a step after the "XOR". Don't forget what you've done before it.

[lolhypocrisy]

I got it now. I was using Notepad and the symbols didn't show up until after I saved the document and edited that, for whatever reason.

is it possible to figure out #22 while on a mac?

phreakymonkey: For any mac-related questions, first check here. If your questions aren't answered in that thread, PM me for help.

[glouton]

If you do pass the previous level I don't see anything that could bother you even with a mac. It should work on any OS
