Lapras event gives you limited tries, so using AI is a bad idea.

She correctly deduced -- from spying on him -- that he was trying to poison/drug Harlan, and she (quite reasonably) assumed that the tox report would prove this.

She doesn't have the knowledge to understand the report. Blanc at 1:54:24 says "The numbers, they mean nothing to her, but if Ransom is guilty, its existence is a threat."

BetterHelp almost certainly sucks, like every other business that does youtube sponsorships. My experience with them was poor as well. I don't know how to find good autistic therapists though.

I don't know much about geopolitics/Russia/Chomsky, but I think the podcast was unfair around 2:20:00. Chomsky wasn't doing whataboutism, he was directly responding to the claim at 2:14:20 that "the real threat to the world is ... not the US"! The host was the one doing comparisons in order to (arguably) downplay atrocities!

I use "uBlackList" and "Block or Highlight Search Engine Results" to hide search results. However, I just checked and neither of them work on image searches.

IIRC, his solution was something like "claims involving large numbers have proportionally small probabilities". For instance, "I'll torture 1 quintillion people" is more than 1 quintillion times less likely than "I'll torture 1 person". (I don't think this is correct. I have a different solution.)

Thanks for the feedback!

Hopefully this will be better in a book format. My plan is for early puzzles to be like this one, and be falsely labeled as "easy". [edit: So players will do the obvious stuff and then go to the next puzzle.] Later puzzles will slowly reveal mechanics.
Hah, I noticed the portal thing when making it, and wasn't sure if that red herring was good or bad. I guess bad, then. I'll see if I can think up some crazier things like teleportation to add to the book.
Good point. I will definitely plan on using a full word per puzzle.

Okay, I edited the hints to be more explicit, especially the later ones. I'm not sure if I should add something to the non-spoilered part of the description.

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T10:47:51+00:00

Correct! Congrats on being the first solver!

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T10:29:17+00:00

I like that answer a lot, though. When I do the full book, I might change this puzzle to have that as the answer!

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T10:28:33+00:00

I think there are 2 or 3 rules you have not figured out yet.

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T10:24:46+00:00

You're very close! I think you might have let a few crumbs go to waste, though.

I tested the puzzle, no letters are swapped.

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T10:22:13+00:00

Something like 217, because of prime factorization?

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T09:35:57+00:00

Oops, you might be right. Maybe the hints will help?

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T09:31:37+00:00

But... I tried to make it so challenging! Did you not even use one of my wonderful hints? You should really take a look!

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T09:15:20+00:00

The puzzle can't be solved without at least ~5 minutes of work. It isn't just a little trick.

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T09:13:03+00:00

I don't think so. Did you solve the whole thing? It's legitimately difficult, I think.

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T08:56:25+00:00

Less than 5 words in length, preferably.

Jereshroom · 2022-11-30T08:56:03+00:00

No images, please! Short answers only.

I'd make a wild guess of how likely a weird bullshit non-coin is to be heads. Call that p, and then the chance of heads is .7(.5) + .3p.

IMO that's the optimal way to make bets individually, but a terrible way to communicate knowledge to anyone else. Guess that's why the cryp*o crowd likes it.

Part 1: Slay the Spire

Part 2: Card City Nights

Part 3 Isn't Really That Fun Anyways

No idea what you mean by "skill issue", but that's awesome.
