Pledged Patrons Trope Hunt Recap for Week 2 - Trope Hunt Solutions!
🕑 Added 2024-04-15 18:00:08 +0000 UTCHello friends! Week 2 is over and Week 3 is beginning, do you think you've successfully solved last week's puzzle? Here are the clues and the posts they led to:
DAY 1
But what’s this, you say?
An eclipse and a birthday?
And you get a gift…

DAY 6
Use each number once
In the order they were given.
What does zero do?
Here's how to solve the puzzle: you should have been collecting the numbers of each file that you found by following the clues which would have given you this: "110297267204277". You were directed to use each number once, which leaves you with: "1029764". You were directed to use the numbers in the order they were given, and to remember what zero does. Yes. This is a math problem.
Numbers multiplied by zero always equal zero.
So you should have come up with something that looks like this:
1x0 = 0
0x2 = 0
0x9 = 0
0x7 = 0
0x6 = 0
0x4 = 0
Did you get "0" as your answer? It's okay if you didn't because you know the answer now.
It can be fun to go from something to nothing, right? From mindful to mindless? Perhaps you could try working that problem again and see if you can become even more mindless with each new zero, if it's safe and appropriate to do so. Your prize for reaching this point, whether or not you are blank and mindless, is a new edit of a file of mine from three years ago called "Bye-Bye Brain". I like most hypnosis tropes (who doesn't?) but usually I'm not quite as fond of taking away people's intelligence. I make an exception with this file, which is all about how amazingly fun it can be to just let yourself be stupid for a very short while. Don't worry, I'm there to help you with all those pesky thoughts! You'll be able to access that file for the rest of this month here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/yi693mvqxus99f4cqbeqo/140DC-Bye-Bye-Brain-trope-hunt-re-edit.mp3?rlkey=6owfnglgs61bkqfo2h0qlcofr&dl=0
And of course my pledged patrons (that's you!) were also given a side quest over the weekend. Unlike your first side quest*, this new one will last through the rest of the month of April, so for now you should just be collecting clues that will eventually combine together and lead to, well, something...
Here are those clues again:
Today’s clue is not
For a special occasion.
It’s the first of six.
Consider the trope.
Hypnosis has so many.
Which stick in your mind?
Good Luck and Happy Hunting in week 3!
*the prize for the week 1 side quest is just over half done, and will be coming soon.

Ok. I’ll be honest. I found the files but I really had no idea how to solve the puzzle. Sometimes it hard to think straight in relation to Lee’s files.

Ooof. Yeah, I got to the list of numbers but didn't realize we were supposed to multiply them. That said, I really like this file, and am excited to hear the re-edit!
