You Must Think Like a Pirate to Solve This Puzzle - Understand

[@Aliensrock]

Didn't mention it in the video, but I really did enjoy the brown section a good amount. I'm nervous about this one last section I have to tackle. How hard do you think it will be?

[@fammax1282]

[@TuckerHolt]

It will probably be super hard like I haven’t played the game or watched the video yet but yeah like really really hard. Like I don’t know if you’ll be able to solve it man. It’s going to be so so so hard, if I’m right. I think it’s going to be a hard challenge man.

fun fact with the - - ? puzzle: the line you had to draw was a variation on a fractal called the Hilbert Curve, which is a space-filling curve.

[@csours]

I was trying to remember the name of it - all I could think of was Penrose

[@raph2550]

I am unable to explain why, but as soon as I understood the goal of that level, I knew it would work

[@mambodog5322]

I managed to do it with a slightly different variation of that as well, so this level definitely likes it

[@juggernaut93]

I actually tried that curve knowing about the Hilber Curve fact, but then I wasn't able to fit it in some of the other puzzles and I gave up too quickly...

[@TabbyVee]

29:19 i know why you kept calling it a curve, because somewhere deep in your mind you know about Hilbert's Curve, which is one the best "space filling curves" (which your final line was very similar to) and was probably what that puzzle was testing you on, space filling curves that can expand to infinity.

[@jakelichtfuss9590]

In --5, the lines were supposed to snugly fit on the shape you made. The hint is a partial outline of the solution. It's like --6 with only one piece

[@adamklein8933]

I think you just need to make a shape with an outline that contains the clue directions.

[@bennetteidsness3275]

Level --5-5 was the one that made this one really click for me!

--5-7 the rule is that the dashes in the picture represent the edges around the spaces your line fills. Almost like an incomplete border around your shape. Which is why you can sometimes add extra in certain parts because it isn't a perfect boundary, just part of it.

[@dubiouscloud5115]

My thought was actually that each line or pair of lines in the small box represented how the line moved through each of the small boxes in the big box. Extra lines were allowed at the tips, and the end of a line could count as any type of curve. Edit: I also feel like --7 could have a similar thing happening, but with the ability to add extra lines in the middle

Yep noticed it. It outlines what you need to draw.

[@brbdogking7643]

9:25 you can technically always fit the object you create into the dashed object. The only weird part is the 3 dashed lines, unless it’s that you have to touch every space but then that falls apart at the next puzzle.

[@iantaakalla8180]

There is actually a recent Matt Parker video that addresses a squircle (a shape between a circle and a square) and it does address that a square is basically defining a circle where its pi is actually 4 when defining their areas (pi*r^2 vs 4*r^2) and use that to create a formula to create a squircle, where the magic number between pi and 4 crating any squircle is addressed by instead relating its line parts (and which is found that while a unit circle’s graph is x^2 + y^2 = 1, a unit square’s graph is |x|^n + |y|^n = 1 where n goes to infinity, and a squircle is any value between 2 and infinity). He also uses this fact to find the area of any squircle-like shape.

[@grimreaper1542]

Once you're done with this game, you should go and find a video or a website with all the rules to see if you actually got them right, or just got lucky with some of them.

[@sodiboo]

for the time level it'd be nice if they included a clock in the game with the correct answer just from the start, put a clock there, let the players be confused "why the fuck is the game telling me the time", give viewers a sense of how long the youtuber was stuck, and eventually on the time level, it's useful but yeah maybe it shouldn't have had seconds, that's kinda dumb

[@megadeth116]

9:10 In this level you need to make a shape that can be fit into the dashes and touch all the dashes (similarly to what you've done in 14:30)

[@bodenharris1484]

I played the -? on the 31st of may. I spent over an hour trying different things before giving in and watching this video only to realize it’s impossible today because the grid is 5x6 so there are only 30 squares.

[@MaidenOfAir]

[@kenet7877]

Loving this series!

[@JordanBl]

--5 seemed to be the same rule as --6, but it only had one cell depicting the edges of your shape rather than putting together a bunch. So two horizontal lines would be two cells with nothing above them. Two horizontal lines then a vertical would be two horizontal cells with nothing above or to the right.

[@Exilum]

I really liked the datetime puzzle personally. The game being based on making people understand, if it failed to subvert expectations, it would be a bit sad.

[@ferdinandpurczeld234]

In dash-5, the dash symbols did not refer to the lines you drew, but to the edge of the squares you touched.

[@nicholasfuller340]

OMFG I loved the clock, that was beautiful :)

[@sefaku3783]

3:17 You know the rules, and so do I..

[@mike6916]

the puzzle at 9:00 was just a mini version of the others before, essentially, each bent could be in the same square and the starting square of your line counts too, what may be confusing is that the bend at the beginning and at the end of the line seems to not be needed

[@DisKorruptd]

9:10 you probably could have ignored the spot under the directions too, I think the dotted lines in that sequence weren't the line, but the borders of the tiles the line is on

[@placeholderblankspace]

THAT CLOCK PUZZLE THOUGH DAMN

[@zircondeez]

I thought the thumbnail was loss for a second, I had to do a double take

[@MohamedAli-oy6kg]

--8 had to do with the boundary of the highlighted region. However, the direction method you came up with was surprisingly isomorphic to the solution. The puzzle makers definitely didn't think about that!

[@iridium_nl]

I think the difference between --8 and --9 was that in 8 you could only ever go one space in each direction, whereas in 9 you could go any amount as long as it was the right direction.

[@owlman145]

Chapter 0 is a nightmare, at least it was for me

[@RealPanzer999]

9:25ish It would seem to be scaling, so you can make a smaller version of the shape. The straight line counts as you just scaled down so low that you can't see the bend anymore.

[@e.g.g.jr.9848]

9:20 the dashes were the outline of the shape and if you crossed them with your line it failed.

What was the theme of the single dash section because I didn't get it from the montage

[@Drag0nD3st0y3rD]

Pretty sure for the part with the lines and how you could get rid of certain dashes was it counting the turns as one horizontal and one vertical. That's pretty much my only guess on that lol. Like the curves are one horizontal then in the middle of the square it becomes vertical so it counts it as one of both. Edit: the square at the start of the line also just counts as one of these curves or just a normal line depending on what is needed.

Half of the white section I completely brute forced because I had no idea what the completely blank puzzles meant. Some of them I did really like though. -10 I really enjoyed figuring out. The brown section I also super enjoyed. I agree with your impression that the white section made no sense in general though. If anyone knows the patterns for the blank puzzles, please tell me cause I did some math, and it made no sense to me. Also, I completely brute forced the ? level cause yeah, again, no clue. I hate it now that I know the answer. It's stupid, but explains why it kept failing for me. What made no sense at all to me, was that as I was brute forcing the last puzzle in the -? section, sometimes it made the second to last one (minutes) become wrong, to which the answer was just to increase it by one. SO not only did you need to match the second, everything had to be right at the same time, i.e., you have 60 seconds to solve the last one. At least, that's what I think. Anyway, complaining time is over now. Excited to see what you think of the last world. Definitely a great masterpiece that this game has been building up to. Enjoy it!

spoilers for actual solutions to things tyler didn't understand or didn't show in this video: spoiler spoiler spoiler --5: the rule is that the symbol indicates a partial outline of the space covered by the line. this outline can be anywhere, including at the edge of the map. the rule is very similar to how tyler realizes --6-5 works, except there the shapes must combine to become the entire outline. --9 vs --8: the difference is that in --8 you have to make exactly one step before turning the next time, in --9 you can take any number of steps. ' '-1: start at circle end at square and cover every empty space. ' '-2: start at empty end at empty pass through all circles but no squares. ' '-3: start at cicrle end at square, pass through exactly 3 empty squares. ' '-7: you must cover the star symbols in the right order, imagine that on each star there is instead a number that is equal to the number of empty spaces adjacent to that star; you must take the stars in ascending order based on those numbers. (the outside of the map does not count as empty spaces) ' '-8: cover a number of empty spaces exactly equal to the smallest common multiple of the height and width of the grid. (so if the height is 4 and the width is 6, the smallest number that can be evenly divided by either (i.e is a common multiple) is 12.) ' '-9: cover a number of empty spaces exactly equal to the digital sum of the number of spaces in the grid. (i.e if there are 48 spaces in the grid, the solution is to cover 4+8=12 spaces)
