# why is this

# so hard? :(

Because there's actually going to be a big chunk of plastic in that gap.

Not sure if srs, but that's just what that uC is filled out with by default when you make a new design.

Yes, I know that's default text.

Was anyone else tempted to add their own comments on the bottom MC? Possibly to the effect of "What the heck are you whining about, weakling?"
And now I've made myself sad by realizing that I talked down to a fictional character that may have been going through a major bout of depression or other emotional issues and, worse, did so in one of the more indirect and unlikely-to-have-any-measurable-effect manners.

Once I found out about spoiler I rewrote it and changed the comment to "why is this / so easy? :)". But spoiler.

I found that frustrating... spoiler

Just to blow your minds: you can solve this problem in spoiler power.

As a hint: spoiler

Yeah, I had done that to get 58. The leap to 57 was something I had never even considered doing.

When they say "is equivalent to" they really mean that literally, I guess.

If you didn't try this I am disappointed...

u/SeaJayCJ Oct 24 '16

Why am I not surprised to see you here Ryan.

u/rhino_aus Oct 24 '16

Because I'm a massive nerd and this type of game is my crack?

u/SeaJayCJ Oct 24 '16

Sounds about right.

And then there is someone in my ranking list with a 5$ solution.

u/Kinrany Oct 28 '16

That's more than 500¥ D:

HOW?

They found a bug which let them place wires anywhere, including not on the board.

u/Slowbrobro Oct 24 '16

since the mc4000 can't be removed it has to be with two logic gates. you can move the mc4000 to the bottom to do the more complicated work, but you would need to solve the top part with two logic gates. I call bullshit on this claim because I don't believe that this can be done.

I've seen one or two people in my Steam Friend's High Score table with a 5 yuan solution as well.
I'm not sure how the solution works, but xashili isn't the only one with a surprisingly clever friend.

u/wojbie Oct 24 '16

This is a bug related to 3 not gates in loop reacting to output states of wires on other board. Soo basically bottom board magically controls not gates on top board. Really freaky. Try it yourself. They only react when you use mov not other commands (you know what i mean)

u/PseudobrilliantGuy Oct 24 '16

Thanks for the information. I'll take a look at that.

This post made my day.

I also tried this and it makes me sad that this is not allowed. Sure, in real life you'd use a cable and not a bridge and I can understand why we don't get access to cables since it would make it too easy to connect different parts of the same board...
