The 25 feeder answers can be grouped into 5 groups of 5 answers that belong to a category. Each meta puzzle uses the 5 answers from one of those categories. They are:
Tennis Racket | Laundry | Upright Triforce | Lightning Bolt | Black Down-Pointing Triangle | X-Ray symbols |
Support | Switches | Compassion | Microcontroller | Revolver | KTANEy words that contain other KTANEy words |
Resistors | Plumbing | Connection Check | Poker | Crackbox | Modules that have a button labeled “CHECK” |
Authenticity | Conscientiousness | Courage | Patience | Thoughtfulness | Elements of Harmony from Friendship |
Study | Lead Pipe | Peacock | Lounge | Miss Scarlett | Murder |
This puzzle uses the first group of answers. The letters Z, E, N, G, A can be replaced with the X-Ray symbols represented by the solutions to Zigzag, Easy as $#*&, Nibbles, Graph Paper, and Abstract Art. Then each pair of symbols can be looked up in the table in the X-Ray manual, giving a digit. For the first half of the symbols, the default rule seed of 1 is used, while the second half requires rule seed 2, which uses different symbols. The string of digits obtained, 13455542435512, can be converted from base 6 to base 30 as hinted by the little cube below the table as well as the puzzle’s title, to obtain the solution.
