congrats :>

and you just earned yourself a Whitelist spot :>

nope :> actually I'm pretty sure there's at least a few :> but manageable in 100 tries/day limit ;)

Considering you start with most obvious hint (letter that looks like a number) it may not be O byt l or I (l you will discard shortly as it will not work well with lower case f in last position), which can lead you to different letter on 2nd spot for example ;)

also besides making it more accessible (it's a puzzle event - we don't want usual zelgh stylle puzzle that only 5 ppl on SG can solve, because it would mean breaking event for everyone) I needed to add more rules to make 16 rules in total to make rule 16 work ;p So easiest way was to add other routes to existing parts :> But didn't want to add more rules like the O one not to make things too easy ;)

yeah - there's been several information like this which if combined gives you either full data or leave you with 2 choices max ;) like with capitalization - if there are 4 letters, 3 first are same case and then I say not all are the same case and last one being upper case is false - these 4 pieces of information combined give you only one option for capitalization ;)

anyway - congrats :>

it's not, it was intended, same as hint about 0->O can be interpret also as 1->l or I ( lower case L or upper case i ;p) and last character may be c, as 9 and 3 are also divisible by 3 without remainder ;) Even with all of these considered in worst case scenario it's still way under limit of tries on GA code ;)

And reasoning part was kinda forced on me - was hoping for math puzzle but was too late, so glad it turned out ok :>

congrats :>

congrats :>

I was thinking about L or i (with different case they look lI - similar to 1) but others in comments here pointed me that then the numbers wouldn't make sense in other rules then, so only variations are A/Z on 3rd spot and c/f on last (since 9 and both 3 and 6 are divisable by 3 ;p)

from #14 - let's assume you got the correct letter O. O is 15th letter of the alphabet.

knowing this, from #4 we know that letter on position 2 is 4 letters before it, so the 2nd character is K. K is 11th letter of alphabet

from #12 we know that alphabetic position of K (aka 11) = 2+NUMBER, so NUMBER=11-2=9 :> it cannot now be neither 6 or 8 ;p

now we go to #15. 9 is divisible without remainder only by 9,3 and 1, and since β=/=1 and these have to be 2 different numbers it cannot be 9, β=3. the letter's alphabetican number must also be divisible without remainder by 3 and only 3 single digit numbers are - 3 and 6, which makes last position either c or f (3rd and 6th letter of alphabet) both lower case because of #5+#7 or #6+#13 :>

.#6 says The first three letters of the GA code are the same case.
.#5 combined with #7 says that last letter is lower case
. #13 says that not all letters are of the same case, so if last letter is lower case it means at least one of 1st three letters must be upper case, and since all 3 letters must be the same case it means all 3 must be upper case :>

see my comment here - it explains why it can only be 9 :>

and because of that as #15 says NUMBER and alphabethic position of last letter are different numbers it also cannot be i (9th letter) ;)

Other things - correct :>

but that's just 4 codes to check ;)

Got the same combination and tried them alphabetically. With every wrong combination I feared I made a mistake T_T

you probably didn't think about it this way, but you are using ß in #15 where it is defined :> Without using it you would not be able to define last letter being c or f :> you know that it's c or f because it's a single digit number AND you can divide it by ß :>

yeah - i thought about confusing `1 with lower case L or upper case i in this rule, but as you get 2nd character using this letter Rule #12 wouldn't work and generally numbers wouldn't add up to fullfill all the rules pointing you that you got to choose another letter :>

Glad you liked the puzzle :>

;3

ok, one by one ;)
as for #14 - if we consider #14 only it can be O I or l, BUT :
it cannot be I (upper case i) because of #12. i is 9th letter of alphabet. it would make letter on 2nd position be E (5th letter). So #12 would say that 5=2+NUMBER, NUMBER would have to be 3 in this case which would be false for other rules (For example 3 is Prime Number is not Prime according to #11;)
it cannot be l (lower case L) because #6 says that 1st 3 letetrs in GA code are same case, so all 3 would have to be lower case same as l, #5 combined with #7 says that last letter is lower case, that would make all the letters lower case, which is against rule #13 :>

And when we know it has to be O it makes #12 giving us NUMBER directly as 9.

Having all these the only possible solutions for GA code are 9K[AZ]O[cf] :>

Anyway, congrats :>

puzzles are always more fun/intresting than quizes :> Thus I'm happy that my turned out to be one of more popular in the event :>

glad you liked it ;) as for solving if you are blacklisted - if you log out of SG you can still see private GASs you would not be able to see because of BL ;) Even better - open incognito window in your broiwser and you can be both logged in in main and logged out in inco :>

It was already covered in other comments, so just let me copy-paste :>

as for #14 - if we consider #14 only it can be O I or l (lower case L and upper case i), BUT :
it cannot be I (upper case i) because of #12. i is 9th letter of alphabet. it would make letter on 2nd position be E (5th letter). So #12 would say that 5=2+NUMBER, NUMBER would have to be 3 in this case which would be false for other rules (For example 3 is Prime Number is not Prime according to #11;)
it cannot be l (lower case L) because #6 says that 1st 3 letetrs in GA code are same case, so all 3 would have to be lower case same as l, #5 combined with #7 says that last letter is lower case, that would make all the letters lower case, which is against rule #13 :>

And when we know it has to be O it makes #12 giving us NUMBER directly as 9.
