I can't pass the level 0 without help.

Off to a bad start, but don't give up

so did the level 1,I don't quite understand the meaning of the challenge,

If you go through the challenges with someone else helping you, you'll never get the satisfaction of solving them yourself. These forums are a goldmine when it comes to hints, (although some are easier hints than others...)

does It have any relation with python？

All levels can be solved without Python, only a few levels actually require Python (well, not require, but it's a lot easier using Python.)

I am a freshman.

Highschool or college?

I used a dictionary to count the symbols; it does not preserve order though... maybe even easier is to take prio's code idea but use:

  Code:

f = open('crypt.txt', 'r')
         chars = '\n!#%$&()+*@[]_^{}'
         str = f.read()  # this reads whole file as a string into str
         for c in str:
            if str not in chars:
              print c
         

Saves a lot of typing!!

I tried this code and got '\n' as the answer. However entering \n or '\n' or subbing the n for p in the url did not work. Am I on the right track? Any hints would help!

That's not how you solve these! The code required to solve this challenge is fewer than 10 lines
(Also, there are no forum posts for the later levels that give you usable code, best to get in the practice of solving your own problems now!)

To answer your question though, no; That code disregards the hint. Additionally, the answer is very much not related to \n, keep looking!

The translation was simple. I solved what it said, but now I don't know what to do with it. what am i supposed to ynnjw? I've tried running my script on the url itself, but I'm completely lost.

A pattern in PythonChallenge is modifying the last component of the URL. You'll get the hang of it as you go forward, here you'd ynnjw "kyn" in .../kyn.frkj.

OMG!!
I easy reached result without re. method, but my big problem was... poor english... I cant making from group of char any racional solving... In this point i would appreciate little hint in description of the 2nd task...
I hope that next time will be task more comprehensible for me...

I think I have understood how pythonchallenge works. I have read FAQ's carefully.
I completed level 1 using python (without any spoiler ).

The problem I am facing now is I am not able to decode the !@#$%^&*()_ on the comment section of page source.

I don't think there is any hint in this forum so far. Alright, I'm not askin for any spoiler or code but I do need a direction to move on.

How can I solve a problem using programming if I dont know the problem in first place

Hint 1 : look at the source code --> google how to go to the source code if you don't konw how
Hint 2: look for EXCEPTIONAL characters --> definition of exceptional being: there's only ONE of it's kind...
Hope that helps without me spoiling the fun of solving the riddles

Is it possible that this challenge is broken?
I can't find the big mess of chars in the source code everybody's talking about - neither can I on the Level 3 challenge, so I had to google the solutions

I've gotten the rare chars (or exceptional chars)........ but there seem to be more to it... I am bad at riddles
Need hint on how to use these chars

There are 8 chars that build a word. You have to replace the url as you did in the challenges before.
Word starts with an "e".
