      ​@@Tiggy227 Honestly the whole bonus puzzle is cool when you figure out the rule, but 20:16 specifically.
      The 4 puzzles are intertwined circularly (the earlier puzzles depend on the future puzzles, but the future puzzles also depend on the past puzzles so there's no clear start or end) so you really have to consider all of them at once to solve it. It's super satisfying to pull off

      @EighteenCharacters 2 роки тому +6

      @@dinamosflams So essentially, the cubes you are seeing represents the level within 5-?. The mini square has a stencil of the way you solved the puzzle room. What is happening is the way you enter the puzzle and complete it has to match the stencil which corresponds to the 5-?-Level you're on. After a while he got to the "Pre-Drawn" stencils. What was happening is that the puzzle that has the 1-cube stencil and the 3-cube stencil means you have to solve THAT puzzle entering at the same spots that those 2 stencils indicate, and end on the same that those 2 stencils indicate.
      As he was moving forward, he solved Puzzle 1, which had a 1-cube puzzle on it. He started it a circle and ended on a circle. This matched the stencil on the 1-cube. He then did this for puzzle 3. The next puzzle has a 1-cube stencil and a 3-cube stencil. He had to solve puzzle for the same say puzzle 1 and 3 were solved while also solving for the rule. This created going back to remake puzzles, solving the rule in a different enter-exit circle event horizon, so the later puzzles with stencils of previous puzzles would coorespond to the activity within that puzzle... then the next puzzle would need to adhere to the previous puzzle's ruleset, with an even previousy puzzle's stencil.
      Hope that helps.

    • @robinlindgren6429
      @robinlindgren6429 2 роки тому

      @@galvinn I guess, but the way I see it is: the name of the game is both figuratively and literally 'understand', the goal of the game in my opinion isn't to get checkmarks on the level select, it's literally to understand the levels.
      therefore, if you haven't understood it, then you haven't completed it. so even if you get the checkmark by accident, the appropriate thing to do if you want to 'complete' the game is to go back into the same level and experiment until you understand it.
      I did that for I think 4 or 5 levels in total that I checkmarked by accident before I understood what the rules were.
      I figured every one of them out eventually, with the possible exception of one:
      [blank]-9 is a level where I know how to solve every puzzle in the level (and I know every solution to every puzzle) and I have found a theory of the solution that is consistent with every puzzle in the level, but that theory is not simple to express, so I don't think it's the real rule. but that rule is consistent with all data I have available and I have tried my best to simplify it to the simplest that I can, I have even found different ways of expressing the same rule, but all of them have this weird tinge of arbitraryness to them that makes me unable to shake the feeling that that rule would break if I had more examples of the puzzle.
      that is my minor purgatory I guess, and such is inductive science; you don't get to know whether you are right. you only get to know whether your theory fits the data.
      edit: [blank]-8 is very similar to [blank]-9 but the rule I have found for that one is simple and elegant so I believe that is in fact the intended solution.

    I have never felt dumber than watching 5-6 and 5-7. The rules were explained and then watching how quickly he whipped out a solution left me like, "I have never been less intelligent than this moment"

    Hey, sorry for this being unrelated to the video, but I think you should check out Nova Drift. It’s kinda like the SNRX game you’ve been playing but mixed with Galaga. Plus it’s only around $15. I would love to see a video of you playing it. But even if you don’t, please have a wonderful day.

    Level 5-6-9 is pretty close to a Slitherlink, which I find interesting.

    World 5 seems to be easier because its rules involving numbers seem to take it closer to already-established puzzles, like Sokoban for 5-4
