darkness again...

nice and not so hard

[Strati]

Hint Circle - 342°
Not everything is the simplest to read...
Sight is my only failing sense...
If you follow the order a keyboard can reveal you the key...

[pennylane]

Don't say it's not so hard... Now I'm ashamed to say I'm stuck...

The only connection I could find is --- something --- hidden among the black letters of the keyboard...

[ Added: 2008-06-26, 23:14 ]
And it wasn't the obvious d--s...

[Beezqp]

Wihtout help from the past you can do little here... Catch the connection.

[Tynka]

57 is not so hard after 56

for the start: the source hint is important
find and name "similar view", then translate...

[Beezqp]

The trick here is that the connection is very... surprising.

[pennylane]

I have three related levels from the past, two of them very obvious, one not so much. But besides the similarities that led to them, I still can´t find other connections. I see some curious details, though...

Well, do I need more than one of them? My bet is where the "answer lies", but I can be wrong... I'm still in darkness.

[Tynka]

one connection is obvious, but first you need the tricky one
find "similar view" and hs

[Beezqp]

to find "similar view" turn your brain off and act like an algorithm. get paper, write what you see and recall memories

[pennylane]

Found the way (finally), now I wonder if I should step back again, or translate again, or search again...

[Tynka]

search and translate

[maniac]

can't find anyway...
(I have find 3 levels related in NOT SO OBVIOUS WAY, not the two in obvious ways...)

The connection is very surprising then...

[Beezqp]

this is about some "not_so_common_thing_being_the_common_point_of_two_common_things", you must use your creativity and empathy [don't ask me, how]. if you find the related level, get keyword from there and look for HS. the way will be easy from there.

[maniac]

fonud it!!!

I hope the steps will be easier...

/* I won't tell others so easily */

[tamk]

I need a hint for 57 ...
I found the HS ...and I decoded them...but what I'm getting doesn't help much.
I know what the sigh that appears 3 times is...and tried to work with that too...but no luck!!!
I also don't understand the source clue...Does it mean that I should ignore some of the keys?

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Xanax]

The source code hint gives you a proper order of the keys and it's a very obviuos order.

[Falcarius]

Too many connections, can't find the right one D:

I know the REALLY obvious connection, the title connection, the "downto" connection and another level with dots. Any others?

[Tynka]

find the similar view think out of box...

[Falcarius]

Still no idea Please tell me I'm looking for a similar image and not something sneaky like the source...

I now have a link for the "xxx it ---", a couple for reflections and more for dots. None are helping.

[Beezqp]

good link

[Tynka]

i think you have the similar view... just name it to get hs

[Falcarius]

Augh, now I have it and I feel stupid for not being able to find HS. Tried naming it in every way possible, no luck at all D:

Am I trying wrong words or wrong place?


Edit: AUGH, WHY DID THAT NOT WORK THE FIRST FIFTY TIMES X_x

Now what? Answer to earlier level has one less letter than number of black keys. Keyboard has one less letter than M-T. Important?

Should I use one keyboard on the other? (I have order of letters, I think - T first, S last?)

[Beezqp]

now be tricky and connect A and B to get AB

[Falcarius]

But what is A and what is B?

Pic A + Pic B?
Black keys + Keyboard?
URL + dots?

Too many options, not enough hints D:

[Xanax]

You know what dots are, don't you? Try to find the meaning. The connection between levels gives you a context.

[Falcarius]

I can translate URL using dots, but it gives me gibberish. I think I have to change the code first - but I don't know how...

[Xanax]

But do you know the REAL meaning of dots? You are translating wrong thing in a wrong way and I think that is because you are not using the context that HS is giving you. How can you connect the thing that lead you to HS with dots?

[Falcarius]

Aha, found something for dots+keys...

Now, to work out what to encode/decode/whatever. URL not important at all?

[Xanax]

Leave this poor URL alone! Leave him alone!

[Falcarius]

Okay, no URL-ing then

So now what? I don't have to know any tunes, do I?
