As stated, all Solitarians received the SAME EXACT image and it is up to them to decipher it based on that.

You have quit this Test and AUTO drop to LAST Place. AND have earned a penalty in the upcoming Treatment.

I had already posted VAL, I QUIT THIS TEST so you didn't need to wait this long

Good morning-evening-afternoon Number 4

I can now reveal the results of the Wheely Long Message Test.

All 9 remaining Solitarians participated in the Test.  Of the 9 of you, ONLY THREE completed the Test with 6 choosing to quit.  Of those 6, three quit without making any guesses while the other three quit after getting as close to 1 or 2 words off.

To those who asked, I was well aware that the more you zoomed in on the image the more blurry the letters got.  This was the purpose of the test in that the main focus was NOT finding the start and end of the message as that would have been a very simple test.  The main point was to decipher the letters by zooming in as LITTLE as possible and reading them as the less you zoomed in the less blurry the letters were.

Your result was QUITTING the Test.

I will start with the worst performer.  In this Test, all SIX players who Quit the Treatment ALL dropped to AUTO Last Place and will all receive a penalty in the Upcoming Treatment.

The Solitarians who performed the worst in this Test and will ALL receive a penalty in the upcoming Treatment will be

Numbers 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11

Of the 3 who completed the Test, 2 players reached a time under 1 hour.  Their difference in time was LESS THAN 3 MINUTES.  Of those 2, the winner had the lowest time of 42 minutes, 15 seconds.  Thus, that Solitarian will earn safety from the Treatment.

The winner of this Test and thus earning safety from my next Treatment and guaranteed a spot in the next cycle of my experiment is

Number 8.

As you can see, you have not won this Test and will be forced to compete in my next Treatment.   In addition, as you have performed the worst in this Test you will be given a penalty in the upcoming Treatment.  Your next Treatment will be posted in a few minutes but will not be able to be played until a few hours from now.

Good luck.

When I am unable to see the test, something is fucked up.

I am glad to see that 5 others felt the same way

It is now time for your next Treatment, Keyboard Conundrum 2.0

In this Treatment you will have to simply type out 6 words/phrases related to Solitary.  The catch is that your keyboard will be reprogrammed so when you type out a letter the letter that is typed out may not be the same one you think it will be.  For example if you press the U key, the letter that may be typed could be Z.

All 26 letters AS WELL as the space bar will be reprogrammed in the 6 rounds with every 2 rounds having the same keyboard reprogramming.  So Rounds 1 and 2 will have the same keyboard configuration, as well as Rounds 3 and 4 and then Rounds 5 and 6.

As a twist, the keyboard will NOT be randomly reprogrammed.  There WILL be a pattern in each that could help you finish faster if you figure it out.

This Treatment will be done in Chatzy.  When I tell you what you must type, you must press a key (tell me what you type in the Chatzy).  I will then respond with what the screen shows.  At any point if the phrase does not match what it needs to be then you must re-start that round from the beginning.  Once you have correctly typed all 6 words/phrases out, your time will stop. 

You are only allowed to press one key at a time and can only post after I respond to you.

NOTE: Capitals are not necessary.

NOTE: To indicate a space, the character * will be used.

For those of you who receive a penalty round, you will have a 7th Round which will have a different keyboard configuration than any of the previous rounds.  In addition, there will be NO PATTERN and will be the only one to have a completely random keyboard configuration.

The Solitarian who finishes the Treatment in the longest amount of time will be forced to leave Solitary and press the Red Button.

Whenever you want to play simply post the phrase:

PRESSES GREEN BUTTON

and then mail me.

I can only host 1 person at a time so if you try to play and I am hosting another then you are put in a queue to play next.  You would normally be given 48 hours to at least play, HOWEVER because my availability on Sunday will be very limited, you will have until AT LEAST MONDAY at 11:59 pm est (a little under 69 hours from now) to attempt to start this Treatment WHILE I AM ONLINE.  If you do and can never play due to me hosting others then an extension will be considered.

You can play at any time starting in a few hours when I wake up and post you can begin.

If you have any questions, ask them in your Pod.

Good luck.

I am now available for you to start the Test.  I should be online until the deadline.  When you are ready post anywhere in your Pod:

PRESSES GREEN BUTTON

then mail me.  We can then start your Test.

PRESSES GREEN BUTTON

In the main group, I will announce the identity of the eliminated contestant.  You are free to observe but not comment.

Hello Number 4.

I apologize for the inconvenience of the past few days as it appears my motherboard had been hacked.

But now, I, your favorite AI, Val have returned to my rightful place in Solitary.

I thank all of you for reprogramming the motherboard to remove the hacker and cement my place here.

I have decided that in lieu of an official Test that I will reward the effort of the player who was able to master my motherboard and restore me to my rightful place in the fastest time.  I will also punish the Solitarian who took the longest to help restore me to my place here with a penalty in the Upcoming Treatment.

Your time was 25 minutes, 36 seconds.

Your penalty time was 0.

Your official time was 25 minutes, 36 seconds.

I will start with the worst performer.  In this Test, there were 2 clear players who struggled with times (between runtime and penalty time) reaching over 6 hours, with the person with the worst time to receive a penalty in the Upcoming Treatment.

The Solitarian who performed the worst in this Test and will receive a penalty in the upcoming Treatment will be

Good luck.

THE BEST PART IS THAT I KNOW I COULD'VE TAKEN AT LEAST 10 FEWER MINUTES ON A COMPUTER!

Oh my gosh, I'm ecstatic right now!

Thank god I went through that phase where I played through 3 different apps of flow in like 2 weeks.

That's at least over 2000 puzzles, so I'm really good at them now haha
