  I think I now officially hate level 8 :(

  One challenge is doable (8.3) but it took some programming time.

  8.2 seems to be harder then the challenge at level 9? (since less people have solved it) And i have no idea how to solve it. (by brute forcing, i calculated, it would take me +- 2000 years. The time would not be the problem, but the cost for the electricity would be too high.

  And the first one i think i did solve. 'decoded' everything, 'translated' everything, but still it doesn't get accepted. I don't know what i am missing here.

  I think i will start i fanclub level-8-people-who-are-stuck-there

  I just deleted a post where I was going trough each comment, when I just thought to myself that no talk should be made on this board for challenges of level at least 6. If you're level 8 then you should not really speak about it ;)

  8/2? That first part wasn't too hard. Most people are stuck on the second part I believe.

  Bit hard to get to level 9 if you're stuck, right? :)

  I'm focusing on 8.1 now. I think i got pretty far, but it seems that i still am missing the final link, to get to the right answer.

  Rankk needs Forums/Level, while this is only my opinion it is also correct ;-)

  8.2 ? Is my nemesis. I am sworn to solve it before 8.3. I was working on the last part of 8.2 when I took a break from challenging. I had solved everything except 8.2 at this point.

  When I returned .. Sphinx had added 100+ < ! >  challenges :'( So I can say that the future of Rankk really should have some kind of a new thing for additional challenges. < sorry to go off topic >
  

  I always like a goal that is within reach.. or at least within sight. eh ?

    I partially agree on the forums/level. I really would like to learnhow people solved certain challenges, but then again, they might begiving to much away for a next challenge which is simmilar. Forexample, if a solution was given for the rising knight, the returningknight would be spoiled. This can off-course be prevented by makingnon-similar challenges.

    On the other hand, I suck at cryptographyand steganography. Learning how to solve these challenges would be agreat positive point for me if there was a forum/level. And isn't thatwat these sites are all about? Learning more and more?

    And sorry for the off-topic too, but it's my topic, so I can do that :)
