If you ever have problems with your order, we'll do everything we can to make it right.
As a small company (8 of us total), we aim to treat you like family. We know we’re in business because of you.
Is anybody working on this?
Yes... and nothing so far...
Do I have to? Have no idea where to start....
Same here. I can brute force letters that anagram to O HORSE SISTER, so I tried sighing in my sleep, but got no closer to the answer.
(If this proves salty I will be pleasantly surprised!)
Have an idea that is math related...but not quite working
Edit...yes it did work once I applied it properly.
That bottom warning concerns me, but it seems too general to be helpful--like saying "caution: danger." What kind of math? Addition/subtraction? Calculus?
[6] Math not that complicated at all...you won't need a calculator.
Everything you need is in the puzzle.
[5] Can you give us any salt?
[8] Where the numbers are is important and should lead to the math you need.
Edit....and this puzzle continues a pet peeve of mine....anagramming needed (Guess not, see comments below) in the final step when the puzzle could have been designed to avoid that.
[9] Thanks! Never heard of those functions!
Actually if you move strictly L--R at the end, no anagramming is needed.
[10] - Yep, that's how I saw it...nice puzzle...
[10] Good point....didn't notice that on the scratch pad I was using to work this out.
I'm still not seeing it.
Edit: Got it!
[13] Yeah...me either.
[10], oddly, was the salt I needed.
I am soooo lost here. I have no idea where to start or what math is involved. What I've tried so far has only yielded garbage.
[16] Reread posts [9] and [10]. The salt there helped me get keywords for a google search.
Would anything in the Talking Heads song quote help?
You mean the Madness song? Not exactly. Not if you want to solve the puzzle the proper way.
To salt more, re:[9]/[10], be more specific than "up" and "down".
I'm sorry, I'm missing something here. Using the relevant functions gets me gibberish. So very lost...
[20] Me too.
[17][19] I've read [9]/[10] over and over till I'm blue in the face, and I still have no clue. :(
Are you using the right key?
Well, I have the answer now, but I still don't see how this works, exactly.
A) I've never heard of those math functions and I would think that most people have not either.
B) Why do the functions not apply to 2 of the numbers?
C) Why is there no explanation of the step-by-step solve process in the solution?
OK, so I think I know the functions and how to apply them to the numbers. Is there another step based on the lyric?
[20], [24] Well, there's gotta be a reason the lyric's there, right?
[25] yeah, but based on what I get I wonder if I used the function right. Can I TG you what I got?
[26] tg sent!
Use the ceiling for up. Use the floor for down. Don't over-complicate!
