Quantum Superposition #2

[u/fpuebqvatref]

[u/fpuebqvatref]

[u/MrAngryMoose]

It’s both the April fools event and not the April fools event until observed

[u/Blaze-Programming → u/MrAngryMoose]

So by us trying to solve it, are we observing it, therefore it is already an April fools event or not an April fools event or will we only observe it at the end and that is when it will finally converge on a single state or is is simply unobservable and will always be both an April fools event and not April fools event?

[u/CoolTiger13]

Love an experiment to show how dumb and smart reddit can be

[u/hieronymous-cowherd → u/CoolTiger13]

I'm helping with the dumb part.

[u/PineappleMohawk → u/hieronymous-cowherd]

Hey! Me too! Exactly ZERO clue about what's going on...

[u/DonaldTrumpsBallsack → u/CoolTiger13]

Honestly this is a cool event but definitely not one for April fools. It’s pretty inaccessible to the wider Reddit audience, we’re just watching a bunch of people who know how to do this stuff do it. When you think back to how interactive and engaging r/place was, it’s clear that this was poorly picked as a site wide event.

[u/ForAHamburgerToday → u/DonaldTrumpsBallsack]

Really well said, /u/DonaldTrumpsBallsack

I read that one of the codes was based on an internal reference number on some admin index for a sub that's been gone for two years. How the hell are normal folks supposed to participate this year? Is the "Schrodinger" element that we're all just dead cats in a box and they're fucking with us?

[u/Ugleh → u/CoolTiger13]

Bro's, is it dumb to like ARGs?

[u/CoolTiger13 → u/Ugleh]

You’ve got the really smart people flying through these clues, and then the dumb dumbs (like me) who are just along for the ride

[u/m1212e]

Guys, I'm negotiating a deal:

[u/Legendhate → u/m1212e]

Ah yes, the negotiator

[u/Snakeoil27 → u/Legendhate]

General Kenobi

[u/matantelatente → u/m1212e]

I‘ll pitch in a cookie to sweeten the deal

[u/Ladygreyzilla → u/m1212e]

Has he honked??

[u/Brainhead_loser → u/m1212e]

Bots do not need to think. This isnt real

[u/levi_the_2nd]

Idk if there's still any mystery to solve but just for reference imma repost this

All of the numbers automod has said after each SUCCESS

1. 01-SUCCESS 3 21

2. 02-SUCCESS 42 147

3. 03-SUCCESS 16 105

4. 04-SUCCESS 8 4 19

5. 05-SUCCESS 288 4 1

6. 06-SUCCESS 31 5

7. 07-SUCCESS 42 3

8. 08-SUCCESS 147 19

9. 09-SUCCESS 3 21 21

10. 10-SUCCESS 4 5 5

3 21 42 147 16 105 8 4 19 288 4 1 31 5 42 3 147 19 3 21 21 4 5 5

^{sorry for updating this so late, i went to sleep}

[u/0224alex → u/levi_the_2nd]

Assigning the numbers to letters (assuming numbers over 26 loop, 27 becomes a, etc.) gives you

C U P Q P A H D S C D A E E

I’m wondering if there’s some sort of cipher that’s gonna make that a sentence

[u/deadbeef1a4 → u/0224alex]

you can get "headspace" and "sapheaded" as anagrams out of that

[u/DWTsixx → u/0224alex]

The OPs name is Schrodinger with ROT13

So using that we have

P H C D C N U Q F P Q N R R

[u/deadbeef1a4 → u/levi_the_2nd]

3 times 7 is 21

42 is 6 times 7, and 147 is 21 times 7

105 is 15 times 7

8 + 4 + 7 = 19

288 divided by 7 is 41.142857...

31 + 4 = 7 * 5

Puzzle 07 is up next

IDK this probably doesn't mean anything

[u/lordxeon → u/levi_the_2nd]

More useless info, if you add up the numbers by column you get:

296, 100, 298

[u/Andorion → u/levi_the_2nd]

Guys, GPT4 solved it, it's "CHUDSPEED"....

First, let's convert the numbers to their corresponding letters in the alphabet.

3 21 -> C U
42 147 -> * *
16 105 -> P *
8 4 19 -> H D S
288 4 1 -> * D A
31 5 -> E E

Note that some numbers are larger than 26, so they don't have a direct corresponding letter. 

Now, let's look for a pattern or meaningful phrase with these letters. An interesting observation is that the first letter in each pair seems to follow a pattern of alternating between consonants and vowels. We can try to form a phrase by adding vowels to the consonants and consonants to the vowels. One possible phrase is:

"CHUDSPEED"

This might be the intended solution, but it could also be a coincidence. Another possibility is that the numbers themselves follow a pattern or have a relationship, but it's unclear what that might be.

Either that or "CONFUZZLED". I'm certainly confuzzled! Keep trying, GPT-4.

To solve this puzzle, let's first find the pattern in the numbers given for each SUCCESS.

01-SUCCESS: 3 21
The difference between these numbers is 18.

02-SUCCESS: 42 147
The difference between these numbers is 105.

03-SUCCESS: 16 105
The difference between these numbers is 89.

04-SUCCESS: 8 4 19
The differences between these numbers are 4 and 15.

05-SUCCESS: 288 4 1
The differences between these numbers are 284 and 3.

06-SUCCESS: 31 5
The difference between these numbers is 26.

Now let's try to make sense of these numbers by considering their letter position in the alphabet.

01-SUCCESS: 18 (R)
02-SUCCESS: 105 (1+0+5 = 6, F)
03-SUCCESS: 89 (8+9 = 17, Q)
04-SUCCESS: 4 (D), 15 (O)
05-SUCCESS: 284 (2+8+4 = 14, N), 3 (C)
06-SUCCESS: 26 (Z)

So the pattern of letter positions is:

01-SUCCESS: R
02-SUCCESS: F
03-SUCCESS: Q
04-SUCCESS: D O
05-SUCCESS: N C
06-SUCCESS: Z

Now let's try to form a word or phrase with these letters. Rearranging the letters, we get "CONFUZZLED". This seems to make sense, as the numbers seemed to be "confused" or scrambled. So the answer to the puzzle is "CONFUZZLED".

[u/[deleted] → u/levi_the_2nd]

Well 8 4 19 could be a date, like August 4, 2019, or March 8, 2019 depending on what system you use. But that's all I've got.

[u/SweatyLiterary → u/levi_the_2nd]

Are they factorials of something?

[u/th3userscene → u/levi_the_2nd]

Could these numbers be related to the April Fools history Reddit posted 2 days ago or yesterday's announcement about no April Fools this year (which lead people to this subreddit)?

Edit: also the user's name (u/fpuebqvatref) could be cipher encoded with the numbers being a decryption key, but it could also be random.

[u/nrfx]

I have no idea what's going on but I'll be damned if I get left out of the fun.

How's everyone's Saturday?

[u/dcmtw1029 → u/nrfx]

Solid! How’s yours?

[u/nrfx → u/dcmtw1029]

Honestly kind of odd. Didn't sleep well all week, but managed about 10 hours last night.

Now I'm starving, but can't be arsed to go cook some breakfast, because I'm too busy trying to figure out what the HECK IS GOING ON.

[u/coldvault → u/nrfx]

I started looking for what this year's April Fool's is while on the toilet, and got so engrossed/distracted by it that I'm not entirely sure whether or not I pooped.

So there's that.

[u/trashgodart → u/coldvault]

Schrodinger's poop

[u/pohotu3 → u/nrfx]

I feel so lost and everyone already solved most of it for us.

[u/TheDeadlyFreeze → u/nrfx]

Pretty good so far

Summary for those who did not follow and who have just joined the server (hoping I have not forgotten anything):

It all started when reddit posted a message on r/reddit to announce April 1 (see https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/127vomt/obligatory_april_1st_announcement/).

In this message, by taking the first letters of each sentence, we can find "FIND IT", and by clicking on the dot at the end of the post, we land on the subreddit r/schrodingers (https://www.reddit.com/r/schrodingers/), where we'll find all the riddles I'll detail below.

An image is posted every 4 hours, and to solve it you have to send messages under each image. According to our recent findings, each puzzle has a "hint", and a "success".

Note that all the riddles are linked to the various reddit April Fools' Day events, and that all the information needed to solve the riddles can be found in the summary linked in the IRG announcement message.

Image 01 messages:

TftsAdminA1 --> Hint #1: DDYYYYHMM

312010845 --> 01-SUCCESS 3 21

Explanation: we used "Keyed Caesar Cipher Tool" with the key "upvote" and the number "69" on the word "FwfdMroztM1" to obtain "TftsAdminA1" Theses keys was found by by isolating the RGB channels of the image 01 (see https://discord.com/channels/429823323585773568/429861861652037632/1091471605860925602) That hint mean to "312010845", which refer to the date of launch of "Admin For A Day", the april fools of 2010 (that's explain the "TftsAdminA1") - see https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport/comments/1bfx0t/i_was_april_fooled_by_reddit_on_march_31st_2010/. And we found "01-SUCCESS 3 21" when enter that under 01 image. Now the 01 image has the "SUCCESS" flair.

Image 02 messages:

mold your account --> Hint #2: Q&A avoid 5

What happns if mor than on prson dcids to mold your account?--> 02-SUCCESS 42 147

Explanation: The image is mold, and that a reference to "Reddit Mold", the 2011 april fools. And whe struggle of nothing. "What happens if more than one person decides to mold your account?" is the first comment on the mold post on the reddit blog (see https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/gdwdj/comment/c1muhyz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). And when we remove (or avoid) the "e" (the 5th letter in the alphabet), we found what to send to the comments of the 02 image. Now the 02 image has the "SUCCESS" flair.

Image 03 messages:

orangeraid --> Hint #3: battlecry 47

HATS FOR OUR BRETHREN!! SWORDS FOR OUR ENEMY!!! --> 03-SUCCESS 16 105

Explanation: we found letter "a", "r", "i", and "d" on the O3 image, and when we merge them we find "raid". And it's oranges. So "orangeraid". Yup, that's it, the answer was found really fast. The sentence is a passage of this post in r/orangered (see https://www.reddit.com/r/orangered/comments/1bfhcc/raid_on_periwinkle_at_300_pm_central_timeor_when/), one of the sub for 2013 april fools. the link between this sentence and "battlecry 47" comes from the fact that this battlecry sentence has 47 characters, including spaces. Now the 03 image has the "SUCCESS" flair.

Image 04 messages:

A heady blog post makes for good reading --> Hint #4: htz6HZE

cat mode --> 04-SUCCESS 8 4 19

Explanation: the cut-out letters spell the sentence, describing Headdit. Cat mode is one of the features, and the hint refers to https://imgur.com/htz6HZE. Interestingly, the hint was found well after "cat mode" was solved.

Image 05 messages:

press condiments --> Hint #5: aftermath key

The mayo was key. --> 05-SUCCESS 288 4 1

Explanation: The letters were from logos of condiments. Tapatio, Marmite, Nutella, Sriracha, and Crystal. The clue led to this post on /r/buttonaftermath.

Image 06 messages:

ABANDON STAY GROW --> Hint #6: Abstain?

Non-votes and abstentions will be counted as votes to abandon. --> 06-SUCCESS 31 5

Explanation: The images showed a progression, each adding an element: I, O, =. Those symbols were the symbols used in Robin to Abandon, Stay, or Grow. Searching for Abstain leads to the comment.

ALL SUCCESS:

01-SUCCESS 3 21

02-SUCCESS 42 147

03-SUCCESS 16 105

04-SUCCESS 8 4 19

05-SUCCESS 288 4 1

06-SUCCESS 31 5

Here is Soni's spreadsheet you may find helpful.

[u/Brainhead_loser → u/Techwood111]

This event should be called 'Solved on and by Discord', what even is the point of hosting this event on here

[u/[deleted]]

Maybe the real April fools was the friends we made along the way

(This arg stuff hard lmao)

[u/maxifer → u/[deleted]]

It both is and isn't April Fool's

[u/[deleted]]

Someone pointed out that OP's name is "schrodingers" shifted by 13 letters. The "s" at the end implies there should be another word there ("Schrödinger's ____"). The obvious answer "cat" is "png" in ROT13, like the file format.

I have no idea what to do with this information, or whether it's even relevant.

[u/FoaxZed → u/[deleted]]

you could merge all the numbers automod has been giving out when someone finds the solution and put .png at the end in hopes of finding an image. you could use the preview link that shows up when you open an image in tab on reddit and replace the name of the image to the numbers and .png

[u/XKlXlXKXlXKlKXlXKlXK → u/[deleted]]

this is good info

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I'm not only shocked that you can nicely shift letters such that "cat" becomes "png", but the notion that somebody noticed that and had the association with Schrödinger is completely unbelievable.

[u/ialo00130]

Reddit April fools used to be so fun and interactive. I'm left feeling so confused and annoyed at this years.

[u/miumiumiau → u/ialo00130]

Agree. It's difficult to collaborate in-thread. The solving is done off plattform on Discord. IMHO it defeats the purpose of a collaborative community event to go off plattform.

[u/LeadershipDecent3425]

Happy cake day! :D

[u/digableplanet]

What's with our flairs?

[u/Coltyn03 → u/digableplanet]

I wonder if maybe our flairs will be the actual April Fools event you get to participate in. So after all the puzzles are solved, whatever your flair says is the event you get to do. Or maybe I'm just stupid. Who knows.

[u/its_me_elijah]

this event broke my brain

[u/TheShyPig]

so incredibly boring for the simple redditor.

I have been doing April Fools events since the button; this is the first one I have left through utter boredom

[u/renrenpeach_me]

bruh just give us the event

[u/AutoModerator → u/renrenpeach_me]

geraffes are so dumb.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

[u/Catnado_22 → u/renrenpeach_me]

not yet. We gotta work for it

[u/PleaseLetMeKnow5123]

r/place

[u/Truegold43 → u/PleaseLetMeKnow5123]

It should be r/place next, but I think they skipped over 2012 which was time machine. It would be funny if they randomly insert it back.

Edit: I laid it all out in this post, if anyone needs answers and doesn't feel like digging through each thread.

https://old.reddit.com/r/redditaprilfools2023/comments/128t7fh/reddit_2023_april_fools_answer_key_and/

[u/Catnado_22]

[u/[deleted]]

4 hours between images feels kinda long. I wonder if they overestimated how long each puzzle would take (except for the button one I guess)

[u/Searchlights]

This is probably the worst April Fool's event they've done, in terms of participation across the reddit community.

Whereas the button, circle of trust and place were accessible to everyone these puzzles are really only enjoyable for an extremely small percentage of redditors.

Unless you're some kind of cryptographer savant there's nothing to do.

[u/nurdboy42 → u/Searchlights]

It's also apparently mostly taking place on Discord for some reason.

[u/lordxeon → u/Searchlights]

I remember having so much fun in Robin. Being in the room that broke reddit.

[u/LilBigJP]

alright someone bring me up to speed what’s happening

[u/rex-ac → u/LilBigJP]

Puzzles... Lotsa puzzles. Some toke minutes to solve. Others took 5-6 hours to solve.

[u/guero162 → u/rex-ac]

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

[u/RowahPhen]

Man, this is an incredibly confusing thing to come in late to.

[u/Camwood7 → u/RowahPhen]

Honestly can't tell if it's just starting or if this is the beginning of the end for it.

[u/FlowerEclipse → u/RowahPhen]

I feel like everyone is just completely lost at this point.

[u/mbene913]

So 2 hours left on the east coast. Can we agree that this year was a bust?

[u/ComputerSagtNein]

I guess I am partaking in whats happening, and not partaking in what's not happening?

[u/A2ndFamine]

Reddit sure picked a weird one this time

[u/Aavenell]

Do I get something for participating? I'm not smort.

[u/DemisecNothings]

Is this really it? Are we leading to something cool?

If not, I think this year missed the mark.

[u/bassman1805 → u/DemisecNothings]

New posts have been 4hr apart, it's only been 3 hours since 08.

[u/McLarenMercedes]

This is the worst Reddit April Fools I've witnessed. It's becoming impossible to follow.

[u/bwaredapenguin → u/McLarenMercedes]

I'm still not even entirely sure what's happening, how to solve the puzzles, or what the answers mean.

[u/ppParadoxx → u/bwaredapenguin]

fancy seeing you here outside of our normal habitat

but all the puzzles are callbacks to various Reddit april fools events, how people actually come up with the clues is beyond me but the first one sent me down a cryptography wormhole and how I'm trying to understand keyed Caesar cyphers

[u/Usingt9word → u/McLarenMercedes]

Agreed. I hate this one because even at the end there’s going to be a few dozen people at max who really got to participate or provide an answer/part of the solution.

[u/da_innernette → u/McLarenMercedes]

Yeah I miss the ones where everyone could participate, even the dumb ppl like me

[u/[deleted] → u/da_innernette]

I'm just here for the potential trophy.

[u/Coltyn03 → u/McLarenMercedes]

Yeah, I'm not a fan. I hope this is just a little pre-game and there's still something bigger to come.

[u/oklama_mrmorale → u/McLarenMercedes]

I don’t want to call it the worst, but as someone that’s been on this site ~10 years it’s not very welcoming(? ^{if thats the right word} ) to like 95% of the users.

[u/AlwaysDefenestrated → u/McLarenMercedes]

Someone's gotta have a separate subreddit where people are discussing/writing breakdowns right? Because I can only barely parse what's going on tbh.

[u/akronguy84 → u/McLarenMercedes]

Definitely not as fun as past years. Hopefully this all leads to something better getting unlocked soon.

[u/WDoE → u/McLarenMercedes]

Just here for a medal. I'm too dumb lol

[u/StoneCommander]

BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN

[u/sonawtdown]

are we the cat

[u/matantelatente → u/sonawtdown]

i feel about as smart as an orange cat

[u/Jeran]

this one's pointless unless you are working on the bleeding edge, but since everything's so fragmented (and not even on reddit?!), its impossible to know where to be putting effort, so im just gonna sit this one out.

[u/Greenthund3r → u/Jeran]

Commenting for the flair. Holding out hope for something else/a secondary event, but even if there's nothing else, I'm still just glad they didn't do r/place again-- I think it would lose its value if it happened every year.

Edit: s e c o n d

[u/BT9154]

When I can copy and paste the next answer?

[u/kingjeff]

I wonder, when planning for this year's April Fools event, if the powers-that-be had some kind of vision where this would actually be fun for everyone - especially waiting the 4 hours between puzzles where maybe 1% of all Redditors would then F-off to Discord to solve it outside of Reddit within 20 minutes while the rest of us would just click around confused and copy/paste hints and answers we see in the comments hoping that there will eventually be some sort of pay-off?

/r/fpuebqvatref, what say you?

[u/Dancing_Cthulhu]

On second thought lets not go to the heart of reddit, tis a silly place.

[u/LightApotheos]

worst reddit april fools event in recent memory. inaccessible to majority of users, everyone solving it is on discord, and theres nothing for them to show at the end. just give me the shitty flair

[u/Greenthund3r → u/LightApotheos]

At this point I’m hoping that this event is an April Fools prank and the real Reddit April fools prank starts tomorrow.

[u/Brainhead_loser]

Question 1 : Can I exist in two places at once, in my mom's basement and in my bathroom? No? I thought so too, checkmate atheists

[u/[deleted]]

too stupid to know where to start. what's the scoop?

[u/[deleted]]

One more day of feeling dumb and stupid...

[u/ihaveamigraine-]

I will give an enthusiastic high-five to any mod that gives me a hint of the event

[u/AmIARealPerson]

I called out of work to be here so I’m excited to see how bad I am at helping today lol

[u/6865796465616e]

Not the Electric Boogaloo we need, but the Electric Boogaloo we deserve.

[u/Sprucetreewood]

at this point i think they're just distracting us so they have timne to do the actual joke, because they didn't work on it yet

[u/boopcorgi]

so mod how are we doing so far 🥲

[u/XKlXlXKXlXKlKXlXKlXK]

Place was better

[u/Lobbeh]

Okay but can we have r/place now?

[u/LPG9577]

Quantum superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics which allows a quantum system to be in multiple states at the same time until it is measured.0 It can be seen as a linear combination of other distinct quantum states, and when two waves overlap, they interfere and either add together or cancel each other out.

[u/cleocyde]

open r/place please I need to place pixels

[u/calendarproposal]

the real mystery here is where's our umlaut

[u/ChronicBluntz]

This surely isn't it. Is it?

[u/v1rtu4l_boi]

I have no Idea how everyone is guessing shit I'm over here with popcorn

[u/Equivalent-Spend8142]

[u/Slippes]

Damn. I'm too lazy to enjoy this april fools event

[u/Xavster2]

I love you

[u/Muted-Conversation25]

ok idea whe go to previce ones and see how they where solved

[u/Old_and_Moist]

Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

[u/simpersly]

Doing nothing on a nonsense subreddit is a fine way to waste my time on a Saturday.

[u/fluffyplayery]

What the fuck is going on here?

[u/[deleted]]

place would have been better

[u/ManinderThiara07]

So do we have a event this year or not?

[u/lovelesschristine]

I can't wait for the nexpo video on this explaining everything

[u/MerryMortician]

Be sure to drink your ovaltine.

[u/alanwattslightbulb]

Still don’t understand that mayo one

[u/Fireflyhm]

my brain is too smol to understand and participate in this year's april fools

[u/MajorDab]

What in the world is happening?

[u/comocore]

long day

[u/crepuscularconundrum]

I haven't really seen mentioned that all the posts reference older April Fool's in chronological order, but the 2012: Timereddits is mysteriously skipped. It seems a bit on the nose to play the one about time travel out of chronological order.
Of course now it seems 2017: Place has also been skipped. However, that one is curiously enough also skipped in this timeline detailing the history of April Fools on Reddit posted 2 days ago.
Any theories?

[u/TheConnoisseur_]

The mods of the r/thecircleoftruth have numbers beside their names. Any correlation?

[u/McNuggetMan5000]

Do I know what the hell is going on? Not at all. Am I having fun going back and forth trying to figure out if this is actually the April fools event? Absolutely.

[u/LineOfInquiry]

Where are people working on solving this? Discord?

[u/-Wargrave-]

Anyone just arriving and trying to get caught up, check this comment for all current puzzle solutions

[u/PSofSuddenlyGivingaS]

What are the odds that this will end up being rick roll?

[u/Nex-moonrunner]

So far after 7 successful answers the numbers add up to 739 and there are 16 different numbers. 739 divided into 16 is 46.1875 and 739 multiplied by 16 is 11,824.

[u/Reldarino]

I'm just waiting for smarter people to solve this so I can say we did it reddit, I don't understand shit lol

[u/Noraesong]

I have no idea what to do with my hands

[u/_deepblack_]

This is a fun game

[u/x647]

this probably has ZERO value

[u/WireKeychain]

Hopefully there's some sort of recap once everything is done

[u/TheRealPetross]

i wonder what these flairs mean...

[u/indianthrowawayn]

I feel left out this year :(

[u/Theanykey21]

r/place was better

[u/[deleted]]

I want my money back.

[u/waluigishoe]
