Twenty-Ninth Journal Entry

Aaah!

[A clatter as the communicator is dropped.]

Someday, I'd like to know the reasoning behind the shock. I simply haven't had anything to talk about. But as long as I'm here....

( Ridiculously easy puzzle goes here )

supply team, communicator, yay puzzles

Um... You can only look once? ...

AH! You send a friend in to look and tell you while you flip the switches!

puzzledprof February 23 2009, 21:41:09 UTC

...That is possible, yes, but that's not exactly the point of the puzzle.

silk_scales February 23 2009, 21:41:30 UTC

But it solved it!

puzzledprof February 23 2009, 21:43:25 UTC

Most problems do have more than one solution, but what if you're alone?

silk_scales February 23 2009, 21:47:11 UTC

I go get someone?

puzzledprof February 23 2009, 22:11:16 UTC

That will get you the answer, but the point is to think logically and solve it on your own.

silk_scales February 23 2009, 22:32:31 UTC

but isn't it logical to ask for help?

puzzledprof February 23 2009, 22:34:20 UTC

If it were a realistic situation, I suppose so, but it's purely hypothetical.

silk_scales February 23 2009, 22:36:50 UTC

So I'm completely alone?

Why do I want to know what the light bulbs do anyway?

puzzledprof February 23 2009, 22:38:19 UTC

For fun, of course. The definition of a puzzle is basically "recreational problem-solving."

silk_scales February 23 2009, 22:42:06 UTC

If it's recreational I should have a friend with me right?

puzzledprof February 23 2009, 22:43:19 UTC

Not exactly. Puzzles are something you do alone, unless you're stuck and need help.

silk_scales February 23 2009, 22:49:33 UTC

Why do I want to do something alone if I have friends though? Isn't it better to do things with people?

puzzledprof February 23 2009, 23:15:00 UTC

Perhaps, but some things can be done equally as well alone.
