Re: code 7
Right, completely forgot to respond to this. Or rather, put it off until later, I suppose.
@omer Thumbs ups! I like thumbs ups! I'm glad to have brought some amusement haha, especially since I wasn't even trying all that hard.
@pineapple21 No, that puzzle has nothing to do with the periodic table. It is not related to chemistry. Here, let me try to explain:
Spoilers for an Episode 2 puzzle ahead
-------
Every 3 turns, each letter is *randomly* assigned a number. There is no logic to this assignment, no way to tie it to anything outside the game. You then get a combination of these letters (3 of them, I think?) when trying to log in, and succeed if you choose the password that has the numbers that match those letters behind it.
The letters of the passwords themselves are irrelevant. What you need to do is check the Authenticator List where their number values are stored. On first turn they will be fairly meaningless, but whenever you choose the wrong password, the right password for that turn will be invalidated, and you can check the Authenticator List again to see which one it is. So if the second letter code contains one of the same letters, you can look for one of the same numbers. For example:
You try to log in, and hear that the code is ARB. You check the auth list to get a list of passwords, choose one at random, and it turns out to be the wrong one. So you check the auth list again, and see that the password that got invalidated has the numbers 174.
So what does this mean? It means that ARB =174. A =1, R =7, B =4.
Now, imagine the next log in code you got was RED. You don't know the values for the other two letters, but you know R =7. So you can check the authenticator list for passwords with values that start in 7, and choose one from between those passwords. And if you're lucky, it will be the right one. If not, you have one more try left, and if you're lucky, the code for that one will include one of the letters you know (of which there's now 5).
