53 Game 2
Comments
Just wanted to say I love it when you say "bitchy little game". Makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who finds games annoying!
Yep; totally not alone! Some of these games are just immoral, and should be treated with our contempt. Or maybe they're beneath our contempt.
Anyway, they suck, is what I'm saying.
Do you find that when the initial rules to a game are more challenging to understand the questions are often simple? Or was that unique to this game?
I was surprised by the obviousness of many of the questions and annoyed that i had over thought before looking at the answer choices to see that it only dealt with the p-m-l rule
It's pretty common both here and in RC, though the correlation isn't perfect—there are some games (and passages) that are easy end-to-end, and some that are just terrible all the way thrrough.
But this one is not an outlier in the regard you've noted.
I watched the last video on the game that had a similar set of rules that needed the "butterfly" configuration but to be honest it still confuses me. Can you explain it more in depth or perhaps do a quick video on it?
What are some good rule of thumbs of knowing when to not “dive into the nonsense” like for questions 8 and 9?
If there's no clear Rule of Two situation, check your rules against the direction/s given by the question to see what you learn, then compare that knowledge against answer choices.
