    Ah, fair. Upside down I’s. Yeah that checks out. Ok. Well at least that does mean the premise is possible, if they typed “We going to Disneyworld!” Which, could be the case if English is the dad’s second language. Though without going off the clues of which partial letters are attached to the same scraps of paper, not sure why/how you would go about piecing this together linearly instead of putting common or uncommon words together first.

    But for us, a puzzle is a puzzle. Clearly I didn’t spend enough time looking. Doesn’t matter if the premise was real or fake, the puzzle was real to us.

    My only excuse is that I just got home from New Zealand, and it was a total of 16 hours of flying and 4 hours of driving. And like 8 hours spent in Airports. And I didn’t sleep for any of it.

    Which I was originally the I for going. They both seem to have part of a round letter after them. Unless they typo’d and did like giong or something. But none of the O’s fit that guess either. And the S isn’t partially cut off to be the round part following either I for Disney. It’s all just a little off from making sense. Like one or two of the letters have the right partial letter to make sense for having been together before cutting. It’s almost weird at this point that a couple of them do line up properly to make sense. Since the majority don’t.

    Not sure what exactly was changed on it to make it fit their fun little joke better. But something for sure was.








  • Ah, just figured out of all my friends it’s all the adhd’ers that have the whole mental block about seeing something and assuming it’ll be impossible to learn so never trying or looking it up. When it takes less than 5 minutes to permanently learn how to forever be able to simply solve these puzzles.

    I just show them how to do it and they are surprised it’s actually as easy as I made it look.



  • Hehe yeah, I was always put off on souls games because people described them as being hard, then when there wasn’t alot of choice early on in VR games, I picked up a souls-like since it was the closest I could get to a long-form rpg at the time. And it wasn’t that hard at all, but people were still complaining about how hard it was all the time… so I tried other souls games on desktop, and they were fine too. So I picked up the actual dark souls… this is what people were complaining about? It’s like, not even megaman difficulty?

    That was when I learned that it’s a good thing there wasn’t much internet yet back when I was playing megaman games, or I might have never tried them either. And also it turns out I like “hard” games, to me that is like the whole point of games. If you finish something first try, then you didn’t get better at anything.





  • But, sliding tile puzzles are simple, there is a reason they give them away as kids toys. If you haven’t figured out how to solve them, look it up, there is only one thing to know. But, basically it’s kind of like a figure 8 shape that you use to sort the tiles and fill them in from one corner and sweep to the opposite corner. Once you’ve done it once, every sliding tile puzzle is the exact same, and bigger ones are actually easier, just take more time.

    Edit: I know it actually being simple is “the joke”, and that it’s maybe an adhd thing that gets in the way for people that see it and just assume it’ll be too hard, without checking.

    I will say, the colors chosen for the set do make it look a bit like a colorised photo now. Though it’s hard to say how much of that is the original color on set and how much was lost to the camera back then. It was tough to light/balance stuff well back then. Especially if they changed cameras, or if the set was made with a different camera in mind either way.

    Behind the scenes footage always looks different back then from what aired. Not just from lack a of post-processing, like it would now, but also a lack of “pre-processing”, lol.
