Somehow, I liked Fable's version more.

Astra segmented objects and translated them in (pseudo) pixels, but Fable seemed to actually attempt to render with their own strokes.

The exercise didn't necessarily feel easy to deduce within the 20 minutes I tried, but after asking LLMs (spoilers alert!):

  1. How big of a hint is the name
  2. How big of a help will choosing numbers manually be
  3. How important is the number of dies
  4. How familiar do I have to be with flowers
The answer to the riddle, and then to the questions I asked were immediately obvious. I feel kind of ashamed, haha.

The cover art is such a master stroke. See Kintsugi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi

Edit: Sorry, my mind was preoccupied with buying the book instead of elaborating.

The interactive 3d render of the book and the gold gleam of the Kintusgi sent me absolutely gushing.

I take psyllium husk pills in the morning for some additional fiber intake and better stool passing, and I haven't felt much need for breakfast. I wonder if I'm conditioned to not feel hungry early in the morning, or the pills have some satiation effects similar to the hydrogel here.

I wonder how this pill compares to the already quite cheap psyllium husk, and what it does to the stool.

I laughed when I saw "Nginxia", thinking it was a portmanteau of, well, nginx and wuxia, a Chinese fiction genre. Reality is much less funny when I looked up NWCD, and you likely just made a typo of Ningxia.

I don't really follow. Say, during the in-between step "10×3 + 6×3 + 5", how do you store and cognize the individual numeric and operator elements?

Surely, even if the arithmetics can be simplified and "lookup-table'd", you are still aware of the numbers in Arabic form or whatever equivalent you're using, right? Or do you somehow have 53 individual blobs swirling inside your consciousness?

I've ran into issues unzipping to a path too long with 7-Zip but immediately resolved with WinRAR. Might be a trivially solvable problem, but since WinRAR worked, I didn't bother investigating.
