Return of Dr Sloth [Split 5]

[Sylence]

I am a high lvl dyslexic and I dont know how to figure out this key and target thing can you explain it in idiots terms so I can understand?

[Daze]

I found this visual code to mod3s. I hope it helps:

[Sylence]

I can do the lvl 1 mods, its lvl 2 I am confused with and 3 of course, break down in lamens?

[Pickles]

I'm not sure how else to explain it that hasn't already been done. The picture guide Daze posted is pretty good, though.

Use this is works: http://www.neopets.com/~KyootestLenny

X refers back to the top.

Neomail user for additional questions? She will not hold your hand and help you.

[Sylence]

I didnt ask for hand holding just some explanation.

I'll give these links a try and thanks to those trying to help me get unconfused.

Is anybody else having problems with this?

When I go to Resistance Headquarters
where gorix and cylara are talking then I go to where it shows this I've click on the box to type 4 in it but nothing happens all I get is the box. I even turned off my adblock and cookies still nothing. I use internet explore 7 because when I use opera to login to neopets it keeps login me off.

Do please write theneopetsteam and let them know so they can somehow modify your plot puzzles. They may be able to make a concession and give you some hints. If you live alone I feel sorry for you. You should be doing this with another person sitting next to you.

I use IE7 and had no problems.

Are you using your number keys (top of letters) and not your keypad?
Some people are also saying they cannot do it on a laptop - I don't have one, so I cannot confirm.

Try clicking inside the box (again - took 3 times once for it to register for me), and make sure to use the numbers above the letters on your keyboard - the numpad doesn't seem to work inside the window.

Press 4 then 2. Find the 1 mods first and then the 2 mods. 3 mods are for last.

Thanks everybody I've finally got it to work now all have to do is decode the messages,which may take me forever to solve cause I'm terrible at math.

Does anybody have any tips for the 3 modifiers 6-10 (with the 0)? Without a key I'm kind of flying blind and any advice would be much appreciated.

I actually took the time yesterday to figure out all the solutions for Key V, Target X, with O as a possible symbol. I can post them if they would be helpful to you. (Thankfully, the puzzle I needed to solve in order to finish this step had Key V, Target X as part of the code, so I only mapped out that one possibility.) If you don't have that in your code, you're probably just going to have to find a key/target combo that occurs in all your codes, and map that using the same process you use to test out codes. The way I did it was I tried all triple letters first, then double letters, (CCO, CCV, etc.) then I finished with the single letters. It takes a while, but once you have them figured out you can use them for all the codes with O as a possible symbol.

I've got the same type of thing (I was bored, and thought I'd help out my insanely busy husband by finding which combinations he'll need to try tonight).
In spoiler tags, since the list is long:

Key O, target value V
VVT
V8C
VZX
VOO
8ZZ
88X
ZCO
ZTT
XCT
XXO
CCC
8TO
Key O, target value 8
VVO
V8T
VZC
VXX
88C
8ZX
8OO

CCT
Key X, target value 8
VVZ
V88
VXO
VCT
8ZO
8XT

TTO
Key T, target value C
VVX

8XO
8CT

TOO
Key V, target value X Credit: amarise
CZ8
VVV
TTC
CXV
OOZ
CCO
88T
ZTV
XOT
ZZX
XX8
O8V

Please note, these are for the Military Comms (7-variable - WITH O) puzzles and will not work for the other 3-variable ones.
I would be willing to add to this list - it doesn't take me too long to figure all the possibilities out, now that I've had Base-7 explained to me. If there's a specific combination you need (Military Comms only, please - there's lists already for the others), feel free to PM me with the Key and Target Value (one set at at time), and I'll try to get you back a list of combinations to try as soon as possible.

Edit: Added amarise's chart to spoiler. Thanks, amarise!

damn, mod3 puzzles are insane. TNT is such an evil entity... they put 10 of them! That means half the puzzles are mod3. Now that's just great.
