Ah, wait
Deusovi
Deusovi
Hm?
ffao

Should the bottom-right square have a line on its left side?
Deusovi
Deusovi
Yep, good catch.
Alconja
Alconja
00:29
..ok, two errors. :D
Deusovi
Deusovi
Hm.
Alconja
Alconja
It's not a big deal, so I think I'll just nudge you... Did you draw the lines before or after you did step 4? I'm guessing after.
Deusovi
Deusovi
Hm, yeah. I think I know what you're hinting at.
Yep, missing the line to the right of the white circle.

That seems vaguely correctish.
Alconja
Alconja
:D :D ok, 3 errors
Deusovi

welp
Should I just draw lines everywhere? :P
Alconja
Alconja
Well you'd likely fix the problem... :)
Don't know whether to just throw you a life line or revel in your suffering :p
Deusovi
Deusovi
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
Alconja
Alconja
You are. It's a line from step 3 that should move in step 4, but you didn't.
Or rather, not how you should have...
Deusovi
Deusovi
In step 3, there are vertical lines: right of semicircle, left of filled gray, right of O, left of star. Same in step 5.
Oh!
Oh!!!
Duh. The rotation!
Alconja
Alconja
There it is. :D
Didn't think the rotation was just for fun did you?
Deusovi
Deusovi
00:54
Nah, but I figured the lines would be important later.
user image
wait, wrong way
user image
THERE we go
...I think.
(The dot should still be in that empty square, but ehhh.)
Alconja
Alconja
Line disappeared on the top right edge, but from memory the rest is looking better (on mobile, and don't have my notes, so can't 100% confirm)
Deusovi
Deusovi
Yeah, disappeared on purpose.
It should've been on the bottom, not the top.
Alconja
Alconja
No the half edge line
Deusovi
Deusovi
Oh! Yeah, that should've been redrawn.
Now just to figure out what's going on with step 8...
 
1 hour later…

I was sleeping; Is what happened that Alconja hinted (as he promised) that the dots should be connected in 3, with the A and D; in 3', with the centres and in 5, from E and through the square ?
ffao
ffao
I just did step 9 without step 8, and I get this
user image
notable: to get a perfect cube on the right, the piece we rotated in step 3 needs to be un-rotated
so this must be related to step 8 somehow
the piece we rotated in step 4*
I honestly don't know how you guys do it so your squares don't look as bad as mine
actually, it needs to be rotated again, not unrotated
Deusovi
Deusovi
03:21
Yeah, I thought it was a cube.
Still though, that's pretty impressive.
Wait.
What happened to the dot?
Alconja
Alconja
04:20
@ffao be careful with slicing down drawn lines... Looks like a couple have migrated from on square to another in the process... (e.g. First line you guys drew went down the right edge of the top left square, but it got lost along the way somewhere)
Deusovi
Deusovi
Yeah, I've tried to keep them to one side.
Still, can't figure out what that first part of instruction 8 could mean...
ffao
ffao
this wasn't meant to be a "finished" picture, more of a dirty attempt at reverse-engineering 8
Alconja
Alconja
Smart move. Was wondering if someone would try, because it should make 8 much simpler.
ffao
ffao
at least we now know 8, whatever it is, has to rotate one square

Probably is redo step 4 then

I think I know step 8 now!
It is a picture of a 3D cube (when we fix it, it will be). So...
- Take it 3D ( "Emboss" )
- Look from "behind"
- Use / find / win the third ?
Is it one of the cubes from the RS series but rotated?
@ffao Your picture has two identical tiles? (R1C3 and R2C3)
@ffao Oh, your picutre is AFTER step 8, then forget the 3D dice idea... (or tweak it?)
 
3 hours later…

@BmyGuest: Aren't you doing 9, before 8, and then doing 8 ?
Deusovi
Deusovi
13:25
Yeah, I'm not sure how ffao got their picture either.
ffao
ffao
13:50
I did step 9 after step 7
My reasoning is that I should get some picture that appears to make sense except for the missing step
(Maybe someone could do it without screwing up the line placement so it makes more sense)
 
7 hours later…

Morning all. Gotta say, I'm a little surprised this didn't get polished off over night. You're 90% there...
Deusovi
Deusovi
21:27
Yeah, all we need is to figure out what that figure 8 means...
 
2 hours later…
Alconja

@Deusovi You mean the one in step 8? Ironically multiple people have already said it (or skated very close)... and with ffao's work, reverse engineering should be relatively straight forward (or maybe not, difficulty weighting is always an elusive beast)...
