Dot Matrix Door

Hi all,
I am totally new.
I was looking to hints about that Dot Matrix.
I read all post in this thread about that door, but I cannot open it
Please forgive me about my not-so-good-english and help me to open that door.

Many thanks and please to meet you all.

I'm stuck on the Philosopher's Paradox. I've been trying quite a number of things, and reading through earlier posts gave me some obscure clue about symbol fonts which I was unable to act upon (I'm on a Mac.)

Does anyone have any idea what I'm supposed to do with this door?

P.S to Heavy:

Think like a computer would... in binary!

I'll give you a more detailed hint if you need another.

[brainisdead]

how the hell do you even start this?

[SoItBegins]

Go to this link. From there, you're on your own (though I will give hints, at least up to the point I'm stuck at.)

[brainisdead]

Not what I was asking. I found that screen. I don't have clue 1 about how to get past it.
It doesn't even say if that is the start or how to.

Any riddle that doesn't tell you how or where to start normally isn't worth playing.
Feel free to prove me wrong.

If you don't feel a game is worth playing then don't play it. You do not need to post your negative comments on every thread just because you don't understand what to do next. Many people concentrate on one riddle, and in many cases spend months or years trying to solve them. Try taking the time and looking for previous hints if you are stuck, and better yet try being polite when somebody offers you assistance. If you do not have the patience to do so then go on to the next game. Some people enjoy a challenge, and if the 845 posts and 85 pages on this thread are not proof of that, then I see no reason why anybody would spend any time trying to convince you.

Agreed.

The riddle says:

So, if you wish to go to the door 'The Dead End' and the password for the doorman was 'No Further' then you would replace index4.htm with 'TheDeadEnd/NoFurther.htm'. You can see if anyone is there, if you like.
.......
Your task now is to find the first door and go through it. Tell the doorman 'You Wish To Find Me', he is waiting for you through 'The First Door'.

Therefore, given what it says, that would have you go to

You get the idea?

[brainisdead]

are the rest of the hints that unclear?

i wont bother.

Start with focusing on the symbols in the background. Find out what they represent. These symbols along with the title should give an idea what this level is all about.

Once you know what this level is all about, apply it literally! Or apply what those symbols in the bottom corners represent on each other.

Lastly, apply the difference of those symbols you to the 4 symbols at the bottom.

If those 4 symbols doesn't look familiar to you

Think of fonts.

Hope this helps. Feel free to PM what you have if you need more help.

Hmmm... as you wish. In that case, why not try CDX instead?

Adventure: I already figured out that the background symbols mean

Lead, Gold, and the creation of the Philosopher's Stone.

For the foreground symbols, I tried your advice-- but I'm on a Mac and

fonts are all different here, and there's something weird going on which means I can't type symbol fonts right now.

Am I stuck?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, I got it! (It turns out

you need a font, which I didn't have,

that was causing all the confusion.) Thanks to Adventure for helping me out.

P.S: If there are any other Mac users (or people with my same problem) following after me,

you'll need to go here

to figure out the Philosopher's Paradox.

OK, now I'm stuck at Directional Thinking. I've figured out the clues in small red type, and gotten

<<deleted by moderation ~ don't post possible answers>>

but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with it. Help?

[Adventure]

Wow, you are advancing fast!

You already have the answer, you just have to

remember how to cross the road.

I will PM you.

DU-DUN! Finished... Phew, that was fun.

Next up: The Second Door!
