You will need to go to another game screen, it will refresh ,so you can put all other numbers.
Thanks!!
😊
That HADES analysis would have been nice, except for where it switches its solution method for the last character/digit.
Was there any actual method involved with the Clues we got themselves (Smiley or Frown, week ?, how many of same #, etc) related to their actual position ?
Or did we need to come up with the word itself ?
And an insightful (next, below) background on the word SHEOL ..
Prior to the hint announcement I had thought about how the happy and sad faces worked with their associated numbers, and had a theory that the happy faces were the numbers in the code, while the corresponding sad faces were the index for the location of the number in the code. So, for example, hint 2 was a happy 7, and a sad 1, which would correspond to the code having a 7 in position 1. Now, prior to the hint announcement, the numbers we had were bugged and incorrect, but once it was fixed if we followed that pattern then the code had to be 7 _ _ 4 5.
From there, I used the hint given in the discord and thought of HADES as a 5 letter word for “the abode for the dead.” @21Eggatron gave me the idea of converting the word into numbers, where H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, A is the 1st, etc. When I did that though, I realized 2 issues. First was that none of it matched with my prior theory of the happy and sad faces, and second was that S couldn’t be represented by a single number that way. However, the numbers for the rest were only one off, so if I assumed a programmer who counts from 0 created this puzzle, then it would fit, and the S would be represented with a 5, which sorta looks like it. Kinda weak reasoning, but I decided to try it just in case, it probably wouldn’t be the right code but who knows! Lo and behold, it worked. At that point I helped Eggatron finish cracking it himself and then we started dropping hints in the discord to help the rest of the community figure it out. Asphyxia was the first person in the main discord to solve it with our hints, and from there it spread.
The way we found the SH3OL solution was from Kabam ShovelDad, the creator of the puzzle.
Hope this helps clear up any confusion regarding the puzzle, happy to answer any questions.
I had thought more about it yesterday (but didn’t come back here), and not sure if there was an original mistake made or not.
But my thought was that different players got DIFFERENT positioned clues, even from the same week.
So seemed like there were potentially two different sets (corresponding Smiley/Frown pair) of clues that were given out to DIFFERENT PEOPLE for the same week.
So where someone said they got a Smiley face of one number for Week 1 clue, and someone else said they got a Frown face (yes, seems to be the POSITION clue) with a number, but their was NOT from the same corresponding Week 1 set as that first persons Smiley was for.
So looking at just people who provided BOTH their Smiley AND their Frown for a given week, they did seem to line up with being a correct Number and Position.
So some people just got different POSITION based pair of clues than others, on the same week.
I think that's how we got a 3 versus a 7 listed by some people (or at least one person), even though most others were providing different numbers during those weeks.
The sample size was a little too small in just the couple main threads up on Forum here.
Was there a more comprehensive list on Discord (or Ally chats) ? That maybe lends support to this ?
Like some people got #7 (smile) on position 1 (frown) during 2nd week, while others got the #4 (smile) on position 4 (frown) during that same week ??
Interesting, a few days ago I searched that term in both Google and Duck Duck Go (a popular private does-not-track search site, in case people don’t know about it).
Google pulled up a bunch of stuff including Hades, a music group, crossword puzzle clues, etc. and eventually got down to a result that included SHEOL.
While Duck Duck Go highlighted SHEOL right at the VERY TOP of their results, lol.
(Did it again today and Google also lists it at top now, maybe because of so many MCOC people doing that search)
And everyone has NOT been getting the same position clue as everyone else every week.
(thus why we have all 5 clues provided by different people as early as last week)
You should have to first USE the Box, then takes you back to Inventory (or at least the subset of Inventory that contains just the Clues).
Then you should have to USE your Clues that you OWN, 1 at a time, in order.
And the subset of Clues would include BOTH your Smiley, AND your Frowny face clues.
So that if you attempt to use a Frowney during that process, the answer would be wrong and the Box would not unlock.
So if you missed a Smiley week clue, you'd be out of luck, lol.
