I’d like to ask the good people of this community that, if you do know the solution or figure it out, that you not share the answer here. Feel free to announce your success, but there’s something to be said for discovering the answer completely unaided, even if it takes years.
It’s embarrassingly obvious once you see it though.


I let AI solve it for me now I feel confident that I’m much dumber than an AI.
The LLMs most probably already have this puzzle in their dataset or can look it up on the internet. That’s like asking you if you know how to solve it only after you have seen the solution
In all fairness, this seems like an ideal problem for a model to solve.
That’s a thing to boast about, for sure. We are proud of you, buddy! cough
Thanks Dad
