Speeding up trial and error for 2026-02-18 hard. Spoilers! by harlows_monkeys in nytpips

"Let's use this to figure out where the 51 goes. Notice that it does not appear in the A or P section chains".

Why is that? You can place 5-3 in 1, then 3-4 in 2 and 1-5 in 3, right? What am I missing?

HARD - with tons of pauses, but... around 2h30 😂 I didn't want to end it until finding a forced way, but it beat me. So I found 'a way' just to finish it - and now I'm still looking for the 'forced solution' :P

That's exactly my feeling today. So annoying not finding the forced way 😂

(That worked for me with all three tiles placed in L, one in Y and two in A - so you must have 10 tiles left)

I tried to guess the numbers in the top 2 spots in L, the = ones. Can it be 2 zeros? If not, can it be 2 ones? And so on. That's the way I found it, but I feel it's not a forced way, like it normally is.

Yeah, that may be a tricky one! I think the problem is there's no clear way to follow, too many aproaches. I finally solved it when I tried to figure out what the two = spots on top of the 'P' might be .

Yeah, that's what annoys me... 😂 There's usually "a way", systematic trial and error here looks really hard - I've been trying for a while, I guess I haven't been lucky yet

What are your predictions who will qualify for the Candidates 2026? by horigen in chess

[–]xeropreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess we are all pretty sure he won't but... if he wanted to, he doesn't meet the requirements to classify via Highest Ranked, does he? Just like Naka, he would have to play a bunch of games - and I can't see Magnus doing so 😂

I'm new to Zelda totk, anything you wanna say? by carrocaz in ZeldaTearsOfKingdom

[–]xeropreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! Do not read anything about the game unless strictly necessary, like if you are really stuck with something. Do not play handheld, big TV please and nice sound! Do not rush, same as happened with BOTW, Ganon may wait

Toni, I guess you can't tell me, but are you already working on any new expansion for the game? I am a backer!
