chr and ord and you get something in between.

Ichr() and ord() are opposites, so how can there be anything between them?

can some one tell me if the solution is actually a number or is there a symbol of some sort in the URL

Some more hints will be nice...
Because this 'hints' are not point to something

WOOHOO!! I got it readable!

oki see the computer screen with 238 an i typed in 2 an i cant get it lol

I'm starting to get annoyed at this thing. I was able to easily create the program to see exactly what it really says. however, it has been haunting me for several days, as to just what it means by that last part.

I just can't get it! No matter how i approach this, it doesn't make any sense. Will someone please help me out? I just wanna progress, cuz this is getting really old.

I can read the text, but I'm stuck. Does the "think twice" apply to the "lmu ynnjw ml rfc spj" part? Because no matter if I do it once or twice, on all of it or just on individual sections, all I get are 404's. Any suggestions?

It means you have to apply the same procedure on the last little bit of the 'spj'.

The concept behind this site is nice, however, i believe it is more geard towards an expierenced coder. I dont believe begining python coders can resolve such issues.You can code whatever you want to, but first you need to know whats avail to you. without knowing this, i dont see how a beginer can solve this type of question.

"that's a handy little function. isn't it? "

Hi all.

I could solve this problem.

The worst part is not translating the text. It's is to discover what to type in the URL to achieve next level.

Let's think: we applied one logic to translate the text, ok? The key to translate the text IS NOT the function name author suggests when you type it at the URL. This is just a suggestion.

The key is to apply THE SAME logic ON THE URL.

Question: What is our URL, in this case?
Answer: The last part of it (everything after the last slash and before the file name extension).

Try it and you'll see an acronym to a software technology.

I didn't like it, too. But it's the game rule.

I almost gave up!

Look at the last sentence ... and think about it

I almost gave up!

Agreed. I believe the URL to be decoded should be further pointed out. Like making it the last word of the whole text or something. I solved the coding part (which is what the challenge is teaching, right?) fairly easy. Knowing what to decode was much much much harder.

I bet this alone can drive a lot of Python newbies away.

Hello, I don't necessarily agree. I'm a newbie in Python, but I was able to solve it (though my Computer Science course helped me a lot). Hehe. (^_^)v Goodluck to everyone. (^_^)/

The key is to apply THE SAME logic ON THE URL.

Thanks! Good clue. (^_^)

So uh. I'm pretty lost here. I'm totally new to python and programming and have no idea how to solve this puzzle. I was wondering if someone could give me a hint on how to at least read the puzzle? I read someone mentioned chr() and ord() and maybe that worked for them? I don't know what to do with chr() and ord() or the letters in the notebook.

So I'm not looking for an outright answer but some more revealing clues.

I've been staring at the puzzle for maybe an hour now. trying to find out how to solve it. I've tried replacing the letters like e instead of g. I've tried replacing f for both e and g. I tried getting the ord() of e and g then subtracting that number then see if I get a new letter from chr() but I just get x02. and I've done these with all three sets not just e -> g.
