-All BitNodes have a unique set of multipliers that affect the difficulty of that BitNode. You can see these multipliers when choosing a BitNode in the BitVerse. [Source-File](./sourcefiles.md) 5 gives you access to these multipliers when you are already in a BitNode. Some BitNodes are much harder than others. It's recommended to unlock other Source-Files before trying to beat these hard BitNodes. Note that the "Difficulty" value of a BitNode in the BitVerse may be a bit misleading in some cases. Understanding the difficulty of a BitNode is much harder than just choosing between "easy", "normal" and "hard".
