Re: Hakari – the hardest puzzle game you'll ever play

Made it through the first 9 levels with only a little stumbling (as the author has indicated, there are plenty of little hints). Level 10 has got me quite stuck though! I think I have an idea what needs to be done, but I'm stuck on trial and error with the exact details. That said, there's something deliberate that I know is a hint and doesn't figure into my thinking... I don't yet know what it means. Frustrating, bu…

10 was difficult in a different way than the prior puzzles, and honestly was a little chilling once I figured it out. Good luck, I'm sure you can get it!

Does it involve sending an email?

Thank you, I suspected that was the case. Still trying to figure out the right address. Not sure if the hidden clue is a red herring.

I can’t figure out level 10 after 2 hours. The hex thing is the only breakthrough that I have. Any tips?

(Spoiler warnings possibly, although I haven't solved anything...)

I am stuck there too. I'm almost certain it requires sending an email to a gmail address, but I'm not sure what that address is. I've already tried:

No response:

3.243f6a8885a@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of pi to 11 digits)

3.243f6a8885a3@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of pi to 12 digits)

182d4454fb210940@gmail.com (IEEE double precision representation of pi, little endian)

Address not found:

3.14159265359@gmail.com

pi@gmail.com

ea2e4454fb210940@gmail.com (IEEE double precision representation of 3.14159265359, little endian)

3.243f6a88876@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of 3.14159265359, no rounding)

3.243f6a88877@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of 3.14159265359, rounding)

332E3134313539323635333539@gmail.com (ASCII string 3.14159265359 in hexadecimal form)

7069@gmail.com ('p' and 'i' ascii codes to hex)

But I'm starting to think maybe my idea of using the hexadecimal representation of pi is a red herring. I also hope I'm not hitting gmail's spam filters.
