Remarking on categories found by others or intended by the OP
|
| Jul 10, 2020 at 20:46 | comment | added | Jeremy Dover | Thanks for the feedback...I think I prefer this too. Actually only took me about 90 minutes to put together, but I had a very broad pool of locations to choose from. Even with that, finding the seventh word which had to rot13(ortva naq raq jvgu n ibjry; unir NBH ohg ab V be R; naq unir gjb Tf) was tough. But then as you showed, I made it more complicated than I needed to. I think I've realized that with only four words not in a category, I don't have enough degrees of freedom to make the language categories complicated. Oh well...glad you enjoyed, and I'll try to put another together! | |
| Jul 10, 2020 at 20:41 | comment | added | Stiv | @JeremyDover Interesting - and see M.Boligsou's comment above: they had 2 different alternative ways of describing two categories which still work! | |
| Jul 10, 2020 at 20:40 | comment | added | Jeremy Dover | That's it! Just for your knowledge, my categories were slightly different: rot13("gjb Nf" vf nyfb "ortvaf naq raqf jvgu n ibjry") and rot13("unf n H" vf nyfb "unf N, B naq H naq ab bgure ibjryf"). But yours are definitely correct and also produce the answer. I was trying to make the cities outside these categories force the harder classifications, but finding #7 was nigh on impossible :-) | |
| Jul 10, 2020 at 20:39 | comment | added | Stiv | @M.Boligsou That's true, both of those work too! Nice spot :) | |
| Jul 10, 2020 at 20:38 | comment | added | M. Boligsou | You just beat me! A few of my categories were a bit more specific; rot13(nyy gur zhavpvcnyvgvrf va pngrtbel 6 pbagnva HN naq nyy gur zhavpvcnyvgvrf va pngrtbel 7 unir guerr pbafbanagf ohg bayl gjb havdhr). Nice job! | |
| Jul 10, 2020 at 20:38 | comment | added | Stiv | @JeremyDover By the way, I think this approach works even better than the one in the first puzzle. And the final full-7 connection gives you a way to check your answer. I think you've developed a very cool new puzzle type here, although I imagine it will be very difficult to run a full series of them! Must have taken you a while to put together. Well done :) | |

Final answer found

| Jul 10, 2020 at 20:32 | comment | added | Jeremy Dover | Most of the way there, but do you have the final connection? | |
