ouverture-facile.com english hints only
You might be disappointed if you use these hints rather than work it out for yourself, but the puzzle is difficult and everybody needs a little help sometimes
ourverture-facile.com provides a logic game for you to solve. Each level of the game could require you to do anything from mathematics, image manipulation, audio editting, hex editting... in fact anything could be required to solve it.
Below I've included hints. I will update this over time & contributions are welcome as comments to my blog.
The below are gentle hints and nudges, getting more detailed to help you through the whole level - some levels require multiple stages of a puzzle to be solved to complete it. The hints are all coloured so you don't see anything you don't want to see, you just need to highlight the text to view it.
If you want the full solution and the reasons why - they are available to from here.
