Go ahead. I think we've had fairly conclusive evidence already, so I'd say you've basically spoiled nothing.

The other theory I've had was completely wrong. Which makes sense because it seemed far too complicated, but somehow it worked perfectly on all the examples I checked.

I believe it's been 96 hours since silverspawn's last question.
Can I ask for the rule to be revealed? I think it's fair to say you stumped us.

I'm against that. We've had previous questions that took a lot longer. I don't think I've spent enough time trying to figure this out to give up. The reason it's been three days is just that I haven't gone back to it since.

Oh, okay. I assumed everyone had given up, and if that was the case, I might as well just ask for the rule to be revealed. But since you're still guessing, that's fine. It wasn't so much the amount of time spent asking questions as the amount of time in which nobody had posted.

I understand, and it's hard being the person with the rule when it all goes quiet. Like, my last rule had a gap of about a month with no questions. I knew it wasn't too hard, but had I just made it too boring for people to want to play? Forum silence is hard. Really glad when you turned up and solved it!
I realise that the rules in the OP say 72/96 hours and the game's over. Maybe we should be ready to enforce that. But probably with a 'prod' first, so that folk can get back on to it if they want to, like in this case.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask this or not, but can you tell us whether the even/odd thing is specified in the rule or a by-product of the rest of the rule? Also, I'm going to try working on this again. I had given up, but I think taking a few days break could have helped.

I have
the same
idea, but

I am
wrong, however
I forgot
what my
second idea
was. So
now I'm
sad. I
can't end
these with
an even
amount of
words.
