Hex to Text:
 I/II [E] 0/0 
 X: 6B36676B38B2B2E03EE03AE033 
 Y: A respectable score (or the room where the players dwell)

I/II means that the outside is set one (Movies) and set two is the inside (Lovelines)<br>
[E] means that you hold the outside ring constant to E<br>
0/0 means that 0s decode as 0s and that you should skip over them when decoding<br>
X: is the input<br>
Y: is the key<br><br>

The Physical Decoder:<br>
The Outside Ring (movies):<br> 
[[Image:Moviesring.jpg]]
<br><br>The Inside Ring (lovelines):<br> 
[[Image:Lovelinesring.jpg]]
<br><br>

Using the Decoder:<br>
Find the character in brackets [E] on the outside ring (ring I)<br>
Based on the key, align the keys character to the constant on the outside ring and then find the input character from the code on the inside ring to find its decoded partner on the outside ring. This is the letter or number you record.<br><br>
Remember that 0/0 means that 0s are not only decoded as 0s but skipped over when aligning to the key<br><br>
[E] Key: 112<br>
Align 1 inside to E outside: <br>
