Progress Report

Focusing on Column 3 of Box 1, it should not have any [3] in it since the only way Nabner works in Box 1 if such is the case would be if it was paired with a [1] in Column 3, which breaks C3R4.
That means that the Nabner in Box 1 Column 3 contains [1,2], [4], [8,9] (and the [6] from Box 2).


[4] in Column 3 forces [4] in Box 4 to be in Row 4. This eliminates [4] from C7R4.


Since we know the Nabner in Box 2 contains a [9], it is either in C5R3 or C6R3. This eliminates the possibility of the Nabner in Box 3 of containing a [9].
([9] cannot be put in C7R4 either since doing so would eliminate any room for [9] in Box 3 by means of Sudoku, Anti-Quad, and Nabner.)


Fill in C7R3.
Can’t be [1,2] 'cuz of Anti-Quad.
Can’t be [5,7] 'cuz of Box 1 Row 3.
Can’t be [6] 'cuz of C4R3.
Can’t be [8] 'cuz the Nabner around it would break otherwise.
Can’t be [9] 'cuz of the paragraph above.

That leaves [3,4] for C7R3.


Where is [8] in Row 3? If you followed the steps above, then you should only be able to put it in C3, C8, or C9, with the latter two being part of the Nabner line of Box 3.

If you put [8] in C3R3, then the Nabner line of Box 3 would have to put another [8] in C7R4. But this breaks Box 4 because there’d be no room for [8] there because of the Anti-Quad.

Therefore, [8] is in the Nabner line of Box 3.
Which eliminates [8] from C7R4, turning it into a definite [2].



the rest is getting too long to explain.
This ought to be enough for a progress report.
I have yet to solve the puzzle.

@Marluna i boop ur nose

Solved. 75:45+
(I forgot to unpause around the 54 minute mark, and I forgot how long I stared at the puzzle.)

no idea why i missed the notif but I agree. that line was the best line. and yeah it does a horrible job of highlighting the bad parts of wealth disparity. “rich people go to expensive restaurant. Some of them behave badly and some dont but all of them die”. It’s like somebody who was asleep during a binge of white lotus trying and failing to describe the plot back to you

Note to self: Strawberry smoothie (purĂ©ed in blender) tastes good if mixed with milk in a 1:1 or 3:2 ratio. It doesn’t taste too sweet, which -considering I don’t like that aspect of strawberries- is amazing!

I’m having trouble articulating this point, but I felt like there was incoherency in its actual message. Like okay it hates the inauthenticity and lack of heart and pretentiousness of fine dining or whatever, but John Leguizamo is there because he made slock I guess? Like it wants the victims besides Anya Taylor-Joy to seem somehow deserving, but also what the fuck is a cheeseburger if not slock? He kills a guy for making the cheeseburger equivalent of films, but the making of a cheeseburger is what the text seems to lionize. I could be misremembering Leguizamo’s sins here, but I have never been able to actually pinpoint what it was trying to say beyond just this vague resentment at “elitism” or whatever.

no it was literally just “you are a washed up actor taking slop movie scripts”. Like he is supposed to be a Liar as well but that’s not why the chef gives a shit. I mean you are fully right, the movie is just anti-intellectualism. “actually le burger is better than michelin restaurant” is kinda the point of the movie. Which conviently ignores the insane levels of cash-grabbing and abuse and pain that go into making the burger as well but the movie isn’t even close to any level of coherency for me to expect that

Yeah like some of the sins boiled down to just kind of being unlikeable which I feel like is not what I’m supposed to be taking away lol
