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
    (H - ham, T - tomatoes, L - lettuce, C - cheese, P - pickle/cucumber, S - “sauce” in a glass.)
  • Perform transformations on the table based on Megum’s appearance and the number of ingredients between the buns.
    1. If the minimal number of ingredients between the buns is greater than 1, then shift the top row 1 cell right, else left.
    2. If the minimal number of ingredients between the buns is odd, then shift the bottom row 1 cell right, else left.
    1. If Megum has a hood on, then swap the cells in the left column.
    2. If Megum is holding a fork, then swap the cells in the middle column.
    3. If Megum is holding a knife, then swap the cells in the right column.
    4. Finally, if there is an even number of batteries, then rotate the cells once in clockwise direction, else in counter-clockwise direction.
  • Read the table’s cells in reading order. Select the bottom bun, then all of the table’s ingredients in order, then select the top bun.

Phase 3: Calmness

  • Now that Megum is full, he wants to play something.
  • To choose the correct activity, you have to ask other people for what they want to do.
  • Count the points for every person using the tables below and take them modulo 16.
    • For the first table, use the modules that are present on the bomb.
    • For the second table, use the present indicators on the bomb.
    • For the third table, use the present port types on the bomb.

(E - add points to everyone’s score)

  • Using each person’s total score, take their corresponding letter from the table below and add the person’s weight number to the total of the letter’s corresponding activity:
    (M - Minecraft, K - KTANE, D - Dandy’s World, G - Gartic Phone)
