Do you have any hints for the *in lumine tuo* puzzle?

Well that was a lot of fun. Thanks M!


I definietly will do the Elite book. I probably will hold off for a bit so I can catch up on my sleep

Nm I got it. How far does this rabbit hole go?

Can I get a hint for the "why is there something rather than nothin" puzzle


I'm going crazy

I’m stuck on the puzzle with the elementary cellular automata. I watched the video and tried the pattern it mentioned along with many others, but I’m not sure what I’m supposed to accomplish. Any hints?

We're stuck where you were. Is there a hint you can give us to get us going?

Sigh... NEVERMIND - got that one figured out. It's been fun everyone.

Hi fellow solvers! I've been working my way through puzzle 42, and I think I've gotten pretty far, but now I'm stumped on the facade puzzle. I've already flipped the image and considered whether the flipping meant the numbers that replace the names are mirrored, but I can't find any significance in the numbers anyplace in the book or the broader internet. I really didn't want to reach out for help on this one, but I'm pretty sure I'm truly stumped here.

We know "timing is key" for the button/lever puzzle but how do we know what the correct pattern is? We've tried making them all fast and making them all slow and neither worked.

The facade puzzle is giving me gibberish. I've tried every combination of indexing and ordering I can think of. Any help please?

Please help with the mindless workers part. I've tried making the numbers all go fast, or all go slow. HELP!

Google around for an "international language" of sorts that was created to "foster harmony between people from different countries"

Still not getting it, any other hints you can give?

On August 8, 2021 at 9:50PM EST notthatkindofdoctor responded to Aras:

So you're on the right track, the letter-sounds DO combine to make a word

It's not an obvious word . Consider how much easier the puzzle would be if all the characters spoke a "common language" . . .

Stuck on the Common Experience puzzle. I have the letters in their designated spaces however I am not hearing any words out of the sounds?

The pill screen is asking you a question, a choice… which would you rather?? Tell the answer box accordingly

I have finished all the theorems, gotten the link, and clicked on the red pill but nothing seems to happen after that except the cover of the book changes. What should I do now?

In the solution box, type any answer. When it comes back wrong, keep trying answers. You will be given a link to click evevntually

have you just tried "excellent"? ;)

Hi, I am having a very hard time with this puzzle. I know the red circle directs you to the first training theorem. I know the answer to that theorem. Ive tried everything related to breathing, knowing, rooting (things you do at birth). I even entered the answer in numbers rather than letters. Mind helping me get over the hump on this. ?? Thanks

That puzzle is called "The very first thing." So, through your journey in The Master Theorem's puzzles, what was the very first thing?

I'll bite (again.) Any hints for solving the notepad paper puzzle? Given the new text, I've tried things like instinct, breathe, live, think, as well as a few profanities for good measure. :) Given the notepad paper with red circle I've tried things like name, my name, to-do, and list, among other options.
