Day 2, #4 is just brutal. I was able to convert those images to decimal by substituting those dots and dashes for binary, but now I'm kinda stuck. Did learn binary though, so not a total loss. Can't figure out 2 or 3 either. :(

Oh God, I had 2-2 for AGES, I just didn't think it was right so I didn't try to enter it.
I'm a silly :p

Okay, time to find 2-3 and 2-4

Day 2 is making me its little *****. I've only solved the first one. I've tried saying the second one again and again but I can't make any more sense of it than I can of the third. I've translated/transliterated the fourth but I can't figure out what it has to do with anything. Boo. Anyone feel like giving me some hints? They'd be greatly appreciated.

Well,
with 2-2, when you say it to yourself, you'll probbaly get the first word of the two-word answer pretty clearly. The second word, not so much.

OK! Thanks for the hint.
Your hint, and browsing through the Zero Punctuation archives, delivered the answer.

Now to figure out 2-4... This one is not coming easily.
All I can think of for this number is an astronomical value. Am I on the right track?

2-5? Do you mean 1-5 or 2-4?

Okay so I don't think I even understand the instructions for 2-3.

The words are mixed up but the letter within each word are still correct?

For example:

xRxxInxxgs
xoxf
xxxLoxrdx
xxthex

would be "Rings of Lord the", ergo "The Lord of the rings"? Is that the same logic they want me to apply to this puzzle?

Haha, I feel you.
I have no idea what to do.
People are saying to use Binary, but I keep getting random characters or random numbers. Anybody, feel free to inbox me about, like, a process of things to do.

Yes, you're on the right track. Almost there, in fact. Just figure out what that value is associated with.

Day 2 #3 and #4 are killing me. I have the one for #4 decrypted, but I can't find any meaning other than coordinates.

For #4: Look at the puzzle image: translation, location, vocation. You've translated it, which gives you...
