      I'm reasonably sure our modern conception of mimic = chest shapeshifter is originally from the early editions of dnd. So like, yeah totally it would be fair to say these mimics could work differently but dnd is the trope originator so it's not as absurd a comparison as it seems.

      I was pausing the videos and doing the puzzles myself when they came up. When there was 2 mimics and two chests say the same thing, they are either both correct or both mimics. I always start by assuming they are both mimics and as soon as logic concludes there must be a third mimic, then we know that they are both telling the truth.

    20:47 - Yes, there can be multiple "consistent" options.
    For that puzzle, you can work out at least one of the left 2 is a mimic, and at least one of the middle 2 is a mimic, to the right can't be, so the bottom middle can't be so the top middle is.
    But you cannot tell if the top left or the bottom left is a mimic.
    After considering the other boxes on the bottom, the top left is equivalent to "the box below me is a mimic" and you have no way to tell which is the mimic, so you don't open any.

      I think you're missing something critical in that puzzle, the black box in the bottom right states that the box on the left isn't a mimic, not that the box to *it's* left isn't a mimic, meaning the box in the left most position. Other boxes refer specifically to the boxes beside them, but that one does not, and I think it's intentional rather than an oversight. That box being true means you can verify that the box in the top left is lying, therefore making the box in the top middle a liar as well, solving this puzzle.

    It gets so hard at the 4th and 5th mode :)
    Also when the game gets harder actually conserving weapon durability really matters so the battles start mattering slightly more.
    Also also there is an item which allows you to survive a mimic (once) but it is expensive so you have to decide if you are confident (and a benefit of this system is that runs aren't that long so having one logic mistake killing you is not as brutal as it otherwise could be whilst completely stopping people guessing when they aren't sure just because they have the health or whatever).

    Olexa here is a quick tip or few.
    1. There is an item that one can buy (Tho overly pricy that let's you ignore 1 mimic hitting you)
    2. (This one works on only 1 mimic) when a Red box states "There is 1 mimic in a red box" it can't be a mimic as it esentially calls itself out hence it is not a mimic.
    3. if there are more than one mimic and a box states there are 2 mimics in black boxes and there is only 1 black box that is obv a mimic.
    4. if there are 2 mimics and one box states there is only 1 mimic in blue with there being more than 1 blue box this statement can be a mimic (so be carefull)
    5. on more than one mimic if one states there is one or more mimic in blue or (There is a mimic in blue) and the chest is blue saying this I belive this is a true statement is not a predetermined amount.
    6. have least one blue orb on yah as if you get to a situation like you got 2-3 boxes solved in a puzzle but the rest are all contradictory and impossible to figure out wich is the Mimic as it is essentially a 50/50 here open all the safe chests then use the blue orb this could eather A: give you 1 more chest or B: Solve the rest of the puzzle and all chests can now be opened because the puzzle broke due to 1 more chest being safe. (as this can sniff out a mimic or two).

      What he failed to do was acknowledge the fact that there are two VALID solutions, but not enough information to confirm which was the TRUE solution, so he should've abstained from opening either 1 or 4, as well as avoiding 2 which was a mimic in every case.

    20:46 Shared pair: they are the same thing.
    Opposite pair: they are opposite things.
    Conditional pair: if one is true, both are paired.
    Logic:
    1. The center column pair together. You know there is a mimic there as an opposite pair.
    2. Bottom right claims one of those paired above isn’t a mimic. This makes those two a shared pair.
    *A1.* Bottom middle and Bottom right are mimics.
    3. Top right claims itself and bottom right are a conditional shared pairing. This invalidates the solution A1, since Top Right cannot be a third Mimic.
    *A2.* Top Center and Top Right are Mimics. Even if this solution is false, Bottom Center and Bottom Right have to be Chests due to being a shared pair, and Top Center has to be a Mimic.
    4. Top Left claims at least 1 Mimic is on the bottom row. Also, Bottom Left makes them an opposite pair. Both options for truth invalidate A2, by either forcing Top Left to be a Mimic or forcing Bottom Left.
    We now know Top Center has to be a Mimic, and the other is in the left column. But none of the other chests clue you in to which it is.
    The safe solution is to only open 3 chests, and don’t touch the left side.

    • @LocalMaple
      @LocalMaple 4 місяці тому

      23:19 One more. Chained pair: the logic proceeds through the chain. When you spot too many conditional or opposite pairs across the chain, find the truth.
      Left side is a shared pair, they’re safe.
      Bottom Center is a chained shared pair to Bottom Right, who is a chained shared pair to Top Right, who is an chained _opposite_ pair to Top Center, who is a chained _opposite_ pair to Bottom Center.
      Top Center breaks the chain, and is the Mimic. Otherwise, the three other chains must be Mimics, and we know there is only one.
      28:22 Another example of chaining. Top Left claims Center Left is a Mimic, which makes Bottom Left a Mimic, which makes Bottom Right a Mimic… There are only two.
      This makes the start of the chain a Mimic, and everyone else true. Including the one saying “I point to a Mimic.”

    When you died I think the logic sequence was wrong because what you had made sense, but what the true answer also made sense. If the bottom right black box had specified that the left-most box was not a mimic it would have been sound but the way it was worded had been consistent with boxes being on the immediate left rather than far left. The dev should fix that because thats clearly a bug.

    This is not a dungeon that you should tackle without increasing "Slow down hunger rate" as much as you can before your adventure.
    B8 06:12
    At least one of the top left and bottom right has to be lying, so both middle boxes cannot be lying. Therefore, the top left and bottom right are the liars. The bottom left box must tell the truth, thus the mimic is the bottom right box, and the top left is the confused box.
    B14 09:07
    Left, centre, and bottom right are not mimics, otherwise all 3 would be lying. The only remaining black box, the bottom left, is claiming that itself is a mimic, so it has to be the confused box. Which makes top left the mimic. Unfortunately, all this means that the blue box was telling the truth…
    Honestly though, I'd have liked to see how one would die from that, since your gut was more than enough for that.
    B18 11:29
    I don't know how you missed this, but none of the boxes have any gold. That clearly makes top left a liar.
    B22 14:39
    Top left and bottom middle contradict each other, as do bottom left and bottom right. That makes the centre and middle right boxes telling the truth, otherwise we'd have four liars.
    If top right was lying, then one of top left and bottom middle is confused. Thus, the other two liars must be mimics. Then the top right is a mimic, and so is the bottom left. (The confused box is bottom middle.)
    If top right was telling the truth, then so is the bottom left, thus the bottom right is lying. But is it a mimic, or is it confused? If it's the former, then top left is telling the truth, which makes bottom middle the other mimic, and the confused box is middle left. However, this is impossible, as the top row must have at least one mimic. If it's the latter, then top left is lying and is a mimic, and the other liar, the top middle, is also a mimic.
    So we have two different possibilities for the mimics here: top left and top middle, or top right and bottom left. You need one crystal ball to expose the safe pair.
    B24 18:45
    There must be at least one liar among top left, bottom left and bottom right, as well as between top right and middle right, and also exactly one liar between centre and middle right. So there can be at most one liar among the remaining four boxes.
    Suppose middle left is lying, then top middle must be telling the truth. So the bottom right would be a mimic. Top right must tell the truth, so middle right would be the other mimic. But there's a contradiction, as neither mimic is in the top row. Thus, middle left must be telling the truth. So both red boxes are safe (although one may be confused). By extension, bottom middle must also be telling the truth, otherwise we would have two confused boxes (bottom middle and top right).
    Next we assume that top right is telling the truth. Then middle right is a mimic, centre is telling the truth, and the other mimic is top left. But then there would be no mimics in the bottom row, resulting in another contradiction. Thus, top right must be a liar, and is the blue box mimic. So middle right is confused, and centre is telling the truth. The final liar, and other mimic, is bottom right.
    B26 20:26
    We have three boxes saying the same thing. So suppose all of them are lying, the remaining six must be telling the truth. They must be side by side, so middle right and bottom middle are the only options. But then centre would also have to be lying. So those three boxes must be telling the truth. It's easy to check that the three liars are top middle, top right, and bottom right (the latter being a mimic for sure), but finding the confused box is impossible without a crystal ball.
    B28 21:22
    You've already identified the three liars, so the other six, including the top right, must be telling the truth, so the confused box must be middle right.

  • @TheNeomare

    32:14 No it does not have to be correct. This is not a great starting point. Black box can be a mimic and say "There is no mimic among the black boxes" which would be a lie, which is wrong but there is no contradiction since mimic lies/says wrong things. So it can be a mimic. This time it was not only by luck.
    Fun video otherwise, but mistakes were made for sure :D.
    Still with 7 boxes and only 2 mimics choosing one at random and saying this one is not will most of the time be correct and very often if it is will lead to a contradiction. So there was some luck involved but not a huge amount.

      I came to the comments to point this black box portion out, luckily he is saved by the top right box. If the middle box was a mimic the other black box has to be a mimic too since it claims the middle one isn’t a mimic. However that would make the top right box a liar as well, so the middle one can’t be lying.

However his argument when speaking of the middle box: "yea you have to be correct because if you are wrong you contradict yourself" is invalid. Mimic can contradict itself. Actually Mimic has to contradict itself :D. As far as I can tell from your comment you agree.

      No you can´t. If you only read the 2 on top, then the middle one could lie and be a mimic by saying the one next to it is a mimic without you knowing it.
      But if you read what they say and check the other Chest, then you can find out wich ones the Mimic.
      Unless you end up in a Situation like 20:47. There you can´t find the second Mimic by using what they all say.
      There you end up knowing the right ones are safe.
      Down right says next to it is not a Mimic, means its safe.
      Down Middle one says above him is a Mimic.
      Now the only last 2 Options are the left ones that accuse each other to be the Mimic.

      Box 1 says there is a mimic in the blue, i.e. 3 and 6
      Box 2 says either box 1 or box 4 is a mimic
      If box 4 is the mimic, that means box 1 is lying, making it the mimic, therefore box 4 cannot be the mimic due to an immediate contradiction
      If neither box 1 nor 4 is a mimic, box 2 must be a mimic, but that's not possible since that would make box 1 a liar since neither box 3 or 6 can be a mimic
      Therein lies the proof. Box 1 has to be lying and box 2 has to be telling the truth. There is no other possibility

    In service of fairness, newb-friendliness, and variety, I'd like if there were multiple types of mimic, namely:
    Thieving Mimic: Steals several items when opened, probably like 1/5 of your floor count with a minimum of 3 items or something. This is the baby-mode mimic and they get less common as you go deeper.
    Biting Mimic: Does 5 points of damage per floor with a minimum of 30, maybe more on higher difficulties. Your defense bonus from armor is doubled for this, but the damage your armor takes is also double.
    Vile Mimic: Reduces your current Gut by half, (You puke). You also suffer from Thieving Mimic effects on your food items, though some items are specifically immune to this effect.
    Bitter Mimic: Permanently lowers a random set of stats by the equivalent of 1 random candy per 4 floors of depth (Dear God have mercy). Cannot lower a stat's maximum below half your starting value. This safety net is removed on the highest difficulty.
    Wicked Mimic: Applies a semi-permanent negative effect, a curse more specifically. These are usually bans on one item type (Spears, Swords, Guns, Light Armor, Heavy Armor, Foods, Potions, Candies, Scrolls, Orbs, Etc.) Sometimes the curse drops a random stat by like 10 or something (Not below half starting value). Wickid Mimic effects can be removed in towns, or in shrine rooms for a heafty fee (Though that fee removes all curses at once).
    Jacked Mimic: Immediately starts a combat with a boss-level enemy. He gets the first move, and each attack he makes also destroys a non-mimic chest (Not guranteed to be unopened though).
