Sorry, still have no clue!

What I tried:
The numbers reminded me on some kind of matrix with rows and colums. So I tried a 5x5 and a 6x6 matrix. Nothing worked.

The highest number we have so far is 4. But a 4x4 matrix will have too less letters.

[UPDATE] Got it.

To our American friends: Yes, you can Smile

Small hint:

Think straight.

Well i'm outside the USA, and i still don't have a scooby.

Am I correct in thinking the sets of numbers relate to letters i.e 2-1 could become B for example?

How about the R, is it an R or does it stand for something?

As for your clue, i can't do that at the best of times!!!

OK, here a much bigger hint:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Do not use all 26 letters, just those without parts of a circle.
Count - Order - And count again.

Isn't that the answer to everything?

EDIT: mine is doseptemberrearmstrongmercury

It might have to do with words you can find in the sequence like do, dose, september, ember, etc.

I can relate my string to numbers, but not sure if it is that simple.

Here is my string:

I come to you in peace.

I discovered this IQ test a while ago, and have been using this forum a lot for hints, when getting stuck on levels. And now it is time that I repay the favour. Smile

magicrock, that was my first thought as well, and after going astray for a while, it turns out it really IS that simple. All you need to do, is to look at the strings and do something you have done lots of times on other levels before.

I didn't spoiler this, because it's not much of a hint. But this level is not for overthinking.

As far as Adventure and shaharc goes, they're both from the same websites as me, Gamershood and Nordinho, where we often work together just like you to solve riddles.

Also, the levels mentioned on the Top IQ list are the levels the person is currently at, not the latest level they've solved. So Adventure and myself (with a lot of help from her) only solved it a few hours ago.

Congrats kie, on Q43.

I just arrived at the 'end of the avenue'. Turns out it is a "one-way, dead-end street". NOW WHAT DO I DO? Embarassed
