I initially thought Sam was a fool for taking the hint on the puzzle box, but after I saw the solution…I don’t think I would have figured that out either.
Yeah, that was a shockingly abstruse solution to the puzzle box. I understand that puzzle boxes often are that way, and it reminds me of old-school point and click adventure games where you just have to be ok with making wild leaps of logic and pressing on everything, rather than the solution being something that with careful analysis you can come across.
But that doesn’t mean it made for a good puzzle on a travel game show.
Apparently Amy showed it to a few friends who all solved it in a few minutes, which is why it was (a) included, and (b) not worth all that many coins.
