@Deusovi I rot13(rknzvarq rirel fvatyr bar bs Gvzjv'f zbqhyrf) yesterday and it was not obvious. I had a couple of hypotheses but none seemed to quite work. I guess I'll do a second pass...
 
Huh, really? I think one of them in particular should've been clearly the right one, but I guess not.
 
I followed that link and didn't even understand what I was looking at, so closed it again. :P
 
I certainly didn't tear them all apart, but I scanned them, looking for one that felt right. I believe your hint, though—it was probably just an oversight on my part. I will crack it.

Needless rot13ing, probably, but just playing safe.
 
Yeah, I was hoping one would 'feel right' when you saw it.
 
Lemme give it a second go.

I can give a more direct pointer if you like - I don't want this puzzle to be too tedious.

Q: A difficult question

ShannonWe have 13 tastikos that each grow flapinos at the speed of 19 per day of the planet Skiitos. Assuming we wait 247 days of the planet Noplatos, on which days are 4 times longer than in Skiitos, how many flapinos will we be able to grow

@mbingo I think I may have found the correct module, but I'm having trouble figuring out the next step
 
I believe I have it too, and am pretty well confirmed thanks to some progress on what I think is the next step. I switched to construction for a bit though, but can come back to this...
Is there PM functionality around here?
 
HTM
You can use OneTimeSecret
 
Ugh, it's driving me nuts that there's two of me in the user list.

Q: I’m clean when I’m on the road

Ébe Isaac My prefix is not single My infix is cold to hold My postfix can mean my whole I’m clean when I’m on the road

 
Okay, so OneTimeSecret and then hope that you're the first to open it?
 
HTM
3:35 AM
Yeah, basically
Unless you prefer to talk over a different channel like Discord or something
There's no private room function on SE by design, so OTS is the second best option
 
agreeed @HTM
 
Interesting. Might get unwieldy to have an actual conversation using OTS, I'd think...
You okay with Discord?
 
HTM
@mbingo Yep, am logging in right now
 
Cool. I'm mbingo#7405.

Sent.
We've gotten a little spoilery, but if you don't care, I'll add you (and anyone else) to the room. Sorry if this is going about all of this in a weird way.

Q: Is "meta"-logic valid for solving puzzles?

StrixVariaI think this question is best explained with a demonstration. In this case I'm playing a Range puzzle, but this kind of concept seems to work with other puzzle types too. Of interest here are the two blank squares in the last row of the puzzle. Let's call the left of the two blank squares A, a...
