Nov. 5th, 2024 12:04 amHopefully being a plushie, and thus unconstrained by things like functional anatomy, or the laws pf physics as pertaining to flight, I should have some more room to find something that fits.
Gave in and looked at the hints for the puzzlebox our sibling got us for out birthday. Before even reaching a hint, we found information that we didn’t really see a way of infering—apparently the first step is to solve a maze you can’t see.
After brute forcing the maze, I got through to an anagram puzzle. I used a solver for that; anagrams are… I dunno. They feel a bit rubix cube-y. You either know how to do it or you don’t, it’s not really something you can work out for yourself a lot of the time. For different reasons—rubix cube’s require taking three steps back to take four steps forwards, anagrams require an encyclopaedic knoweldge of the word pool.
The other puzzles I have open look more interesting, but I get the feeling there are some inferences I’m missing as groundwork for them. I’m taking a break for a bit again. I’m not sure we were the target audience for this, really, despite generally enjoying puzzles.
