At the top of the light house, how are you supposed to know what the code is? Because i watched a run of it, but I'm not sure how you get it.
We get this all the time! XD It's a little complicated to explain. Examine this room. On the machine is C=2 It can also be C=3 sometimes.
Then at the bottom of this note is a number.
Both these things are randomly generated. Take the number from the note. Then take the number from the machine. If the number is 2, multiple the note number by 4. if it's 3, multiple by 9.
For example, in my run. The number on my note was 810. The number on the machine was 2. So here's what I did. (2x2)x810=3240
If the number on the machine was 3, I'd do this. (3x3)x810=7290

oh ok, thank you so much. so is that why in runs when they're at the point that they need it, they go to a different window (i'm assuming a calculator) ?
Hey, no problem buddy! Also, nooooooo... I've never done that. >> << Yep! ^_^ That's why you see me pause for so long in my run. No rule against using calculators!
Ok, that helped me learn it. So i know the whole game now, the only problem i have is remembering the 3 pattern code or whatever you would call it. Other than that I should be good. I'll be doing runs of it tomorrow most likely.
I can't wait to see! :O Little secret, I actually draw the pattern on paper. :P It's pretty obvious during the run too.Best of luck!
Using the calculator actually draws your attention away from the game. Certainly, it is a sure-fire way to accurately get the code and it really should be used for those harder arithmetic.
What I am trying to say is this: Do you really need a calculator for the easy stuff? Sometimes RNG can be so nice to you that you could do the arithmetic mentally, and I would say go for it and forget the calculator.
Easy combinations include 256x4 (this is what Plank got in his 1:51 run), 512x4, y00x4 or 9 (whereas y is any number between 1 and 9) (This is what I got in my 1:50 run) etc.
Trust me, I have a sub 1:50 run in pending actions and mainly what I do is ditch the calculator. half a second is thought process and the rest is just numerical input.
Final answer: try to train your brain. Start off easy, then get to harder and harder problems to the point where you can instantly know, "Hey! This times this squared equals this big number!"
