Hi HELPMEHELPME! :)

Checking the parity means that there should be an even number of 1's for each parity bit.
For P4 there are 3 bits that are 1, meaning that it has incorrect parity (instead of correct parity).

As a result, there is 1 bit wrong in the section 4,5,6,7 (P3), and there is also 1 bit wrong in section 8,9,10,11 (P4).
What might you conclude from that?

Is this better? Or is is two bits that had to be corrected? Thanks. View attachment 4323

That fixes the mistakes in the correct/incorrect parities.
Good! :)

However, since we see that some of the parities are incorrect, we know that at least 1 bit has been flipped...

Could you give me a hint, on what i should do. Which bit to flip? I thinks its one of more of 5 or 7 or 9 or 11 or is it another one ? I'm so close i just need a little push.

Indeed, one of those must be wrong.

More specifically, from P3 we can tell there is a bit wrong in the section 4,5,6,7.
And from P4 we can tell there is a bit wrong in section 8,9,10,11, which must necessarily be a different bit, since they don't overlap.
What might we conclude from that?

There not all wrong are they? (Thinking) is it 5? PRETTY PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW IM GOING NUTS!

We can tell there are at least 2 bits wrong. We have insufficient information to tell which ones exactly.
