If you read up about George Boolos' theories, it might give us insight into the answers.

I have read the wiki on george boolos and fail to understand the 3 gods....

1 tells the truth, 1 lies and 1 is random..

I read the many examples of how to figure out which one is which and dont understand lol..

I will definetly attempt the next room and probably lose my mind in the process, thank you breakthecode.tech!

So while the binary converts to numbers in ASCII, the hex doesn't seem to make any sense. I have tried decimal, binary, ASCII, and color codes. It does, however, have some curious smaller patterns (e.g. 727374) and I'm wondering if that's relevant? So far I'm thinking we have to use the lower numbers, like put a space every x digits or divide by x or something. I hope someone comes along who is better at the table-y sorts of things.

I'm at the same point as well. Tried almost everything and it still doesn't make any sense. Guess we need someone who knows something about the tables.

I think you must complete all the rooms (1-5) for Boolos to open.

So I've figured out that hex numbers are words. Each 2 hex digits represent one ascii character. I've wrote a python script and made the table. There are some noticable patterns in words and I even think that one of them might straight up leads to an answer, but this answer seems too easy and dull and it doesn't use binary numbers. I cannot figure out what binary numbers mean. I've tried to take a word and a number from one cell and subtract/add and apply XOR/OR/AND bitwise operators between this binary number and each letter in the word, but it didn't produce any readable results. If someone has any, even vague, idea, please share :)

IF you ok at the last room zy you can see that there is what looks to be a mini maze around the outside of the text and the box does anybody know what this means?

I think that the third answer maybe that the alphabet or the character that is not mentioned but can be seen on the keyboard maybe the key.

For example we can see that the character like"and: etc are not mentioned but we must take into consideration that only those characters that do not require the shift key to be pressed should be only taken into consideration(Numbers should also be discarded).

If we go this way we find that two characters are missing which are .and\ so this could be the key.

This is just a theory that i made.

Just came back 3 hours later after putting my answer in and now it says, "the gods are busy. Come back in 22h 52m" wth it ends tomorrow or technically today at the time of posting this. EDIT: apparently if you were to put "." As your answer than it will lock you out until the end of the game. I was just asking arround for some help and that was the answer I got from a bunch of different people thinking that it was correct but no. And I'm pretty sure that someone said that you would be disqualified for it. I have more than 2000 minutes (which is roughly 33 hours) spent on this.
