I think you might be overthinking it, if I remember correctly, you can find a section called music from there you should know what to do.

I am stuck partway through H4X0R (I've finished everything else at this level)... any very small hints would be really appreciated.

I think I have the correct alias of the agent but can't figure out what to do with it. When I try to generate a key to encrpyt it as requested I'm asked for a password/'favorite song' but can't for the life of me figure out what it should be. I think I've tried all the obvious things and have poured over all the data in the main H4X0R account for clues but can't find the answer. I've tried poking around for clues & patterns and have noticed a lot of things like the capitalized letters in certain file names, but so far nothing seems to lead anywhere and I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the possibilities. A small hint to point me towards what I'm missing would be greatly appreciated!

okay... i give up. can i just... have the answers for scientist and haxor? i know what I need to do. i can do all of the things. my potato PC keeps crashing and I can't get to the end. hooray me, I am amazing.

Hey all, anyone still here who can give me a hint for stage 3 of 50LV3R?

I'm seeing patterns in the arrangement of the letters but I have no idea what the numbers mean

Thanks for the final assist CMcB ... I think I just needed some time off before coming back around to it. And maybe by next Christmas M will have a third book out!

I think you’re overthinking it see if you can figure out which agent the original email you got is talking about.

I've said it once (I think) and I'll say it again: H4XOR. I've gotten into the NSA terminal and the coordinates from the "locate bad guys" program roughly translate to easter island, spare a couple hundred miles, but that's all I've got. Any confirmation that I'm on the right track, or am I looking in the wrong place as per usual?

Ah, ok, I guess I misunderstood. To refer back to your last question, no translation is necessary. Some of the symbols may translate to letters, but it's much easier to read them as is (as if they were English letters)

Thanks for writing this, however I had figured all of that out for myself, could you help me figure out what to do with all this information?

I assume you mean the circles on the "Calculating..." page? If so and you haven't figured out which of these circles represents exactly which symbols, you need to do so by colliding the particles.

Figuring this part out really just involves trial and error by colliding random particles together (regardless of their position) in order to deduce which lowercase particles each initial one produces.

For a bigger hint, each initial particle produces the same 3-6 (don't hold me to this exact number) smaller particles each time it is collided with another one, and the aftermath of a collision is the combined fragments of each initial particle

Question about 4C13N71S7, I have worked out that each of the circles represent one of the symbols. I have tried translating to English similarities, looking for images to copy and paste off the internet (couldn't find the m symbol) and colliding the particles in the same columns, could I have a small hint for this point of the puzzle?

In N4V19470R, each symbol on the first page has both a number and directionality somehow associated with it.

For 4C13N71S7, you want to figure out which of those lowercase "secondary particles" come from which "primary particles" that you initially collide.

Any tips for Navigator or Scientist?

I'm assuming based off your description that you solved the shifting letter grid and are on the second one made of letters and other symbols?

For the second grid, the goal is pretty similar to the first - make a phrase by clicking letters. As a second hint, each "pseudo-Greek pictograph" stands for a unique letter.

Some of these challenges have me struggling. Here is where I am with each one-

M491C14N- Done

H4X0R- Done

N4V19470R- Done

MU51C14N- Got Twinkle twinkle little star and Yellow submarine, my Happy birthday solution sounds like it is 100% correct, has anyone run into this problem?

50LD13R- Done

4R715T- Done

4C13N71S7 Looking and the greek symbols and trying to find a pattern with the outputs, no results.

5PY-done

Any tips would be appreciated.

Re: 5OLV3R part 2

Don't know what to try next ... here's what I have:

A series of 27 pseudo-greek pictographs and a picture of a lock that seems to ask for three numbers (I'm assuming an input box will pop if I do the right things on the second "letter" grid)

Any clues appreciated!

I think it was from the left side (front) of the deck. So look at the leftmost 2 cards and for each black card index into the deck from the left by the amount on the card. For each red card then move the other way. So if it was a 5 of spades and 3 of diamonds for example, you would index right into the deck by 5 then move left 3, so you’d land on the 2nd card from the left.

ok so by the first two cards in the deck do you mean from the left or the right because that could mean either and I'm very confused

H4X0R is easily the best so far for me, from both books, phew, a great challenge and heaps of fun!

Update: I finished this section, but if anyone can fully solve 50LV3R and give a full explanation for the second round, I would appreciate it. It feels to me like I sort of guessed/stumbled on the answer rather than truly solving it.
