On the Subject of Megum
“Fuck, my ass itches” - Megum, 2025
- Initially, on the module there is going to be Megum, a cycling lane of fruits and a pointer.
- To solve the module, Megum has to go through 3 phases of insanity.
Phase 1: Anger
- Consider the serial number as a base-36 number. Convert it to base-10, then take it modulo 40320.
-
Represent this number through the formula below:
N = a*7! + b*6! + ... + g*1! + h*0!,where a = 0..7, b = 0..6, ..., g = 0..1, h = 0.
- Initially you’ll have an empty string that you’ll append letters to.
- Use this table below:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 A B G K M O S W - Going through your a, b, ..., g, h values obtained from the formula in order, append each value’s corresponding letter to your string, then delete this letter and the highest digit from the table and repeat the process until you have an 8-letter long string.
- Select the fruits in order within the obtained string by pressing the module’s status light when the pointer is pointing at the desired fruit.
(A - apple, B - banana, G - grapes, K - kiwi, M - mango, O - orange, S - starfruit, W - watermelon)
Phase 2: Fury
- Read all of the ingridients, starting from top bun and excluding bottom bun.
- Fill in a 3x2 table, like in the example below:
H T L C P S - Perform transformations on the table based on Megum’s appearance and the number of ingredients between the buns.
- If the minimal number of ingredients between the buns is greater than 1, then shift the top row 1 cell right, else left.
- If the minimal number of ingredients between the buns is odd, then shift the bottom row 1 cell right, else left.
