Klueless 4: Hints for all levels

IMPORTANT: READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS! ITS IMPORTANT!
If u have already moved on and find it difficult to look for instructions, here is the link:
http://www.iimi-iris.com/iris-2008/klueless/
One instruction from my side: Google web search, google image search and wiki are sufficient to crack all the levels. U need to use some basic binary operations too for some levels…
Also people need to use source code in MOST of the levels. (IE: go to “view” (alt + v) then click on “source”; for firefox its called page source)
The clues are hidden anywhere: the image name, the title (the title is the title of the window), the source code. Sometimes the image name(that u can see by right clicking on the image and then clicking on “properties”) and the description of the image that u see when u take the cursor on the image are different, well, it can be a clue too!
Do not bind urself to the clues given here….anything and everything is important…..
Also, I am going togive only hints and won't spoil the fun by giving the direct answers. :)
Hints:
Level 0:
Find the clickable object.

Level 1:
Don’t complicate things, just repeat what is there. Just fill in the blank.

Level 2:
As there is not a single text box and nothing clickable, u need to change the link (the part before .asp needs to be changed). Look at the version, there is something wrong in the link, u don’t want to play this version, right? Also if u want another hint, look at the first line of this document.

Level 3:
Just follow the mistakes. Write down the missing letters and the you’ll find the answer to be very easy.

Level 4:
Look at the numbers. What are they?......(A)
Look at the title. Whats the translation?.....(B)
Look at the source code. It says “none before” what does it mean?......(C)
(C) + (A) + (B) …….strong hint….. just last name is sufficient.

Level 5:
See the page, something unusual, isn’t it? Well for starters, some logos are missing and the one that is there is also moved.
So click on the logo. Something will open.
See the link (of the game)… cbc…..what does that indicate?
See the source code…notice some repetition?
Now one hint from my side: u’ll get it for free, whether u want it or not.

Level 6:
Look at the cartoon. What is it?
Look at the question, something wrong?
Position of AM in the word name?
Wiki and google may help u.

Level 7:
Look at the source code: world’s simplest series…. The one which u learned when u learned numbers….
If I can write shah rukh khan as srk, then I can find out what is written on screen….
Find the missing letters….
Once u find the 4 missing letters, perform 1432 on it…… (if u don’t understand 1432, just try to make a sensible word of those 4 letters)

Level 8:
Look at the background picture. Scar on the heavenly face…something related to something present in the sky…. Can u guess the background picture now?
Try to recollect from ur geography lass of 3rd-4th standard….
May wiki and google help u…..
That something comes and goes on every ____ years…(the blank is a lucas number)
Also, answer is 2 words in the form of ____’s _____.

Level 9:
Write down all the words one below other. Can u notice a common mistake in each word…?
Remove that mistake…. A sentence will emerge….. try to find it… google for it….
P.S.: answer is a one word. So don’t use spaces.

Level 10:
If u notice, there are Hollywood celebtrities on a clock. With a number assigned to each one. Try to figure out the connection between the number and the celebrity. The position of the celebrity on the clock is also important. Try to find the missing 2 celebrities.
P.S. Answer is one word. It is a pet name for these 2 together… J

Level 11:
Look at the insect. What is it?
Search the given 2-3 names on google, find out the common connection between them. (the title will also help to check if u r in the right direction)
The grvae ….something which was here, but is not there anymore…..
p.s. Ans is a location. Wiki can help u a lot.

Level 12:
Very tough for me! That is because I couldn’t figure out the name of the soup. If u can, then u hve to combine the name of the person and the name of the soup to come to the answer.
How I did it: try to find out what is the background picture. I know a little difficult. Use google image search. U know that the image is complex and is related to geometry. All the best!

Level 13:
U know when I said “If I can write shah rukh khan as srk, then I can find out what is written on screen….“ in level 7…well u have to do the opposite now…..
Find out where u can find what u decode.
Change the link (part before .asp) by ur answer. (remember, we never use spaces in the url)

Level 14:
This too was a little difficult for me. See the source code. Most famous Victorian ring? Hmm, interesting. Google image search helped me find it.

Level 15:
It will ask u if u want to choose door no. 3…..do it!
Eventually u need to crack all the doors, but sequence too is important.
The sequence is door 3, then door 1 and then door 2.

Level 15c:
Why is the lamb muted? Does it remind u of any movie? The ans is the name of the character in the movie. “man eating man” may help u find which character. Once u find the character, a most capable (3rd mot capable may be) military commander will smile at u!

Level 15x:
Dead end is a dead end. Come back to level 15 and choose other door.

Level 15a:
A series of words that u see? I put all the words together in google and saw what it meant. Find out what is missing, that is ur answer. Remember, sometimes people may neglect u if u r not significant.

Level 15x:
Dead end is a dead end. Come back to level 15 and choose other door.

Level 15b:
The screen looks significant, isn’t it? Do u know where u saw such a screen in the past?
Well, if u know then go there and play “The Butterfly Effect” i.e. try to change something and u’ll get where to put username and password. Give it to them and go to the next level.

Level 16:
U see a chat window, don’t u? Look at the title. U need to change some words to make it second person…. Use chat lingo. Look at the source: Why have many when only one is sufficient? Hmm, so remove many and keep one…..”u need to keep an I on all the minor things all by urself or b doomed”
Look at the title, remove it from wht u have after removing many…. Decode it…
Don’t whine!


Level 17:
Hanged man? Funny things cards…u can use them even if they are held upside down….
Look at the title. Follow it……

Level 18:
A matrix of number and a few lines…
Try to answer the first 2 questions, why don’t u? Look at the title… Connect the 2 words u got after answering 2 questions together ….
U need to use this dictionary to find out the answer. Now, how to enter the numbers is ur problem….try different permutations……remember, it’s a matrix, it has rows and columns….. after all its all what u believe……

Level 19:
There r 5 pictures. U need to find who is that dog smiling at u….
Right top: is a branch of maths…..(A)
Right bottom: a PAIR of something……(B)
Left bottom: a BRANDed TV…(C)
I didn’t try to solve top left… :D
A + B + C + Dog……. I searched them together in google…and was surprised to see the name….i am sure even u would…. Its so familiar……

Level 20:
Concentrate on the image.
Use wiki.
Look at the title. “Sum it up”…why don’t u?
Sum is ur answer….. btw, if u don’t leap, u r sure u’ll see the sun this may times… (I think this was a direct hint..forgive me)

Level 21:
Look at the text on screen. Look at the source…it says only ends matter…. So implement it on whatever text u see, irrespective of the size…..
Look at the title.. “.”……..strange, isn’t it? Yes.
As there are no text boxes and clickable objects, u need to change the link….. above answers will give u what to change…..
Now u see a sentence…..follow the instructions….word does it in a fraction of second.
The answer is ur answer. U need to change the link again. This time, ur answer and then undo what u did to come to this sentence….
It is not that complicated as it seems…..

Level 22:
Look at the source. Find out using google and wiki.
If u get the message to be precise, then be precise, use wiki properly…u need to focus on what u see on screen
Go to wiki…and be precise….

Level 23:
Unfortunately, can’t help u to decode the language, couldn’t do it myself. But this clue helped me get the answer:
Look at the source, get me the first sponsor (or something like that, I don’t remember now, but yeah something related to first sponsor)
Now look at the title. Does it remind u of something? The name of the image also indicates the same thing. That something is…….(A)
So a much talked about recent event related to (A)…it’s first sponsor was….(B)
(B) is ur answer…
By the way, if u decode the code, kindly mail me.(This sentence is not a hint but a request…seriously..)
It looks like buildings, but who knows?

Level 24:
Important key words in the poem start with capital letters. Search them together on google. Find out the man with the golden mind!..(A)
Now, read the last line of the poem… was it just the beginning?...connect with what u got in (A)

IMPORTANT: From now on the levels become too good to crack. Some technical skill smay be required. Do not bind urself to clues given here. Try to apply some common knowledge, something that comes to ur mind first…. Don’t neglect anything….. Will try to simplify the hints…

Level 25:
Ok, many ppl find this level to be too difficult….
Look at the display… it is called seven-segment display, which is there in all the calculators, right? U’ll find some segments are numbered… can u complete the numbering? This was step 1.
Look at the name of the image (right click – properties) = USE
Look at the title…. = NOTEPAD
Use notepad? Why? To do what? To open what? Hmmm… let me think…what can I save from this page? Don’t look at the type, just think of what all u can save from this page….yes, there is something. Now, irrespective of the type of file that u saved, open with notepad. Done? Ctrl + F will help u find a “clue”
Write it down on a piece of paper. One of my friends always scored badly in English because he never cared for punctuation marks…..This was step 2.
Now, encode whatever u wrote in step 2 using step 1….step 3
Did I warn u to care for some punctuation marks? Hmm…good
Now, if u search wiki for 7-segment display, the segments are encoded using a,b,c…. these guys encoded using 1,2,3…. They must b crazy, right? Nope, that too is a hint….
Now, after so many direct hints I think I’ll leave u to crack it by urself…..
Btw, as I said earlier, many ppl find it too difficult, but believe me its not difficult. (Many ppl avoided coding and decoding by just loking at this sentence)


Level 26:
See 4 pictures? Try to find out something that is common in them. The bottom right picture I found out first (using google image search). Its characteristic is the answer. U can even look at the title. Rest of the things also have something common in them…. Find the name of the cartoon. Find the characteristic of the map. U’ll figure it out, am sure…. Well, not all can crack it, Nepolean wouldn’t have..coz he never knew the answer to this level…..

Level 27:
Look at the image. What kind of paper they have used to write some numbers? (A)
Look at the name of the image…..
x and y are ____ on (A)…….……(B)
The numbers are (B) of something…. What do u use when u get (Title)?

Level 28:
Date of treaty of Karlowitz is indeed important, why? Ok I know u r too smart and u found out that it is related to ______ Day. But why is that day on that particular day?....(A) (well it will help if u can answer it in one sentence)
Can u find out where the frame is used? Use google image search (and the material in (A) is what u need to search)….(B)
Now, do u find that if u answer all the questions they asked, there is something strangely common? Well that number is_____....(C)
Look at the source: What do we open .doc fie with?....(D)
“We hate change”, doesn’t sound good when it comes from an IIM, isn’t it? So lets say it is important….. So if we don’t change (B) then (C)th (D) is ur answer……

Level 29:
Like level 25, it is a little tricky, but hey, am helpin u, right? (This sentence is not a clue)
Look at the image? (Somehow, I can’t resist myself but ask u this question “matrix” style…in matrix morpheus said “is it the air that u breath?” to neo….so here I am sayin…) “is it the image that u see?”
Well I did not see an image. If know a trick of seeing 911 as a palne and 2 buildings, then u must have already gone past this hint. For those, who haven’t got it already…well it’s a code language…what do u open a .doc file with? Ding dong…..
I think u found the font, haven’t u? (shit, cant help but cant simplify without giving direct hint) Now, look at the source…they mentioned the image name to be something funny, haven’t they…well use that..ding dong….
See some hands and some symbols… well, good….95% done…
See the title…”calculate”…do it!
Answer of calculation is ur answer…..
U don’t need wiki/google in this level

Level 30:
I don’t know how to decode the image.
Here is hints that ppl who cracked it gave….
“find out the differences between original screen and the image….find the differences….do u think the differences have something peculiar abt them? That peculiarity is ur answer”
Don’t know how u r going to crack it using this, did it all and found the differences (I think I found some 10-12 differences…but they said number of differences is not important)…. Tried to find a peculiar trend in the differences, but cant find it…… contact me for a direct hint. Don’t want to give out the direct hint here…
After this there is one more level, but don’t want to give it out here…its tooooooooo damn easy….
Congratulations for cracking Klueless4!
