Incorrect "together-not-middle" clues: Eliminate Pi

Open th122 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I'm running into a number of clue-related issues on both MacOS and Windows. To keep things easier to track, I'll dump each sample into its own issue.

  • [ ] MacOS: 0.8.3.1 binary (watson-0.8.3b.bin-macOSX.zip, identifies as 0.8.1 in "About" )
  • [x] Windows: 0.8.4b binary (Watson.Installer.msi, identifies as 0.8.3 in "About" )

Hint: Eliminate Pi.

Looks reasonable according to the clue "𝝿-not $-3", but as shown later in the solution, 𝝿 and 3 are not in the same column, so the clue seems wrong. Would have worked if it had been "𝝿 - either $ or 3", or "𝝿-$-not 3". 2023-04-01-EliminatePiHint

Watson is not happy about the result after follwing through on the suggestion

Yeah, it's clear that there is a problem with the puzzle generation. I'll try to figure it out. Thanks for the save file.
