I got really bored one day, so I made a list of my solve paths for each puzzle, and called it:

I Wanna Lockpick ~ PATH OF LOGIC

I pretty much just slapped whatever my thought was when trying to formalize the puzzle into a big list, then tried to organize it a little bit.

It's still a big mess at parts, especially for some of the harder puzzles to formalize.

I might do this for part 2 as well, but that's quite a bit into the future.

(And I assume that the puzzles then will be harder, so... I'm dreading it.)

I had a solution for 9-B which allowed me to not write down an equation.

13337 looks a lot like 11 times something.

13337 - 5 = 11 * 1212 = 13332

13337 + 6 = 11 * 1213 = 13343

13332 is not useful, but luckily, 13343 will suffice.

13343 - 2*14 + 2*11 = 13337 so one valid solution is... umm... negative orange keys. 1215 * 11 + (-2) * 14 = 13337. We need to do better.

50 * 11 *14 = 550*14 = 700*11. We can remove 700 cyan keys and redeem them for 550 orange keys. 515*11 +  548*14 = 13337. Close, but we still have too many cyan keys

We need one more trade, 11*14 = 14*11. 515-14 and 548 + 11. 501*11 + 559*14 = 13337 And there we go!

Well, I wanted a solution that doesn’t require much guessing. Plus modular arithmetic is cool.

Updated with the new puzzles from the 5/31/23 devlog. Located at the bottom labeled "Bonus". Had a bit of trouble writing for the 2nd one.

Idk why I'm doing this. Still bored as hell apparently.

Do you ever do the puzzles occasionally posted in the discord?

I’m not currently in the Discord. Though now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m somewhat interested now.
