IMPORTANT: Don't try to find number 42 using a mobile device!

Really!

Thank you! This is exactly the sort of hint I needed. Much appreciated!

On January 24, 2021 at 6:42PM EST EMC2 responded to daveyb:

What “very first thing” do you recall looks like that paper? What is the red circle circling there?

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.

An identical border, the name of the Theorem, a ribbon that says solved... and a date when clicked on. A date that’s not when I finished it. Aha! The first clue!

Go to the hints and solutions page

Cards? What cards?

Have you noticed anything on all of the cards?

Where IS this Theorem???? I can’t find it! I decoded the hints, but I can’t find the actual Theorem!

I thought I made a breakthrough and got through a few puzzles, but now I’m stuck on what is all of this and all I can see is that no matter what I put, the second one is always wrong

Oh, also: The text M gives is rarely ever useful. You can get past all of the puzzles without having to read any of it. I notice you seem to be focusing WAY too hard on it - all the clues you need to solve the puzzles are inside the puzzles themselves.

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 have decided to give random hints for the puzzles I often see people stuck on:

Red pill/blue pill: This isn't really a puzzle. You just "take the red pill."

Mindless workers: Timing is key. Also, note that when you press a button, its output changes from 0 to 1.

Why is there something rather than nothing: The board of letters shuffles every time you refresh the page. Well, MOST of the board of letters, at least.

Based on what I'm seeing here (and my personal experience) I think that applies to everyone.

I love how i spent such a long time on the blue pill, red pill page, and when I got the answer i thought, "Oh, that was so obvious!"

Those are better guesses than what I was putting in at first. Glad I could help!

On January 18, 2021 at 7:07AM EST daveyb responded to SmartNerdGuy:

My goodness. Duh! I had been putting in things like Neo, Morpheus, Matrix, and White rabbit. Thanks!

On January 16, 2021 at 10:05AM EST SmartNerdGuy responded to daveyb:

According to the red pill, blue pill page how do you discover more than what you know?
