Happy Puzzle University - Game Thread (CHAPTER FIVE)

It’s unfortunate that one of the pillars of computing is Databases. Tho, most of the stuff in computing revolves around databases and it’s security/interaction with applications, with all the data protection laws being enacted to attempt to “make your data belong to you”…

But I’m just a Psychology Major. WhaddyI know :slight_smile:

Oh yes I’ve forgotten your major is Journalism

pkr called me funny!!!!!!!!!

Random fact of the day:

A sheet of letter paper contains about as much fiber as half a stalk of celery; if you ingest pure pulp, it may help you with digestion. However, white paper also contains other potentially harmful chemicals such as bleach.

Great image

Headmaster Sunshine pops up.

Heeeeelloooooo students! I hope you were all very nice to each other. Now then, before you go to your dorms, we have a little test just to get the puzzle solving juices floooooowiiiing. Each of you will be given a card. The cards will be in some order, and form two words. I will have the first card, and the letter will be “n”. The rest of you will be given cards and have to find what order it goes in. You may need to think outside the box!

Headmaster sunshine hands out cards with letters to everybody (expect this in your role PM soon).

You’ll be free when you say the right answer… or after 24 hours from when guesses will be avaliable. Some of you are probably thirsty, so get to it! After 12 hours, just shout out the answer when you think you have it.

compliments for everyone:

sulit has Honeycat, the best cat

ATNoName has no name, which is very intimidating

App is really good at Miscs

Intensify shares a name with an ability from Throne of Lies: Medieval Politics! How cool is that?

Shurian has been around for longer than anyone else in the game, I’m pretty sure

Zap is new and newbies are the future!

Amelia was the Mastermind in DR2 and DR3, meaning they’re part of the best action

Gorta has a good sense of humor about trees jokes

I liked Geyde’s portrayal of his character

Wazza was scum with me the first time I ever randed scum, and he didn’t bully me

PKR has cool law facts

Italy likes history (the best major)

Tess Ardent is an extremely devoted investigative journalist

Arctic did really well in his first FM game

Cheese’s jokes today were funny

Now children, you’ll have a little over 11 and 1/2 hours before you can field guesses, I want to make sure everyone can have some input.

I can instantly see at least a 9 letter word. But the question from there is what to do with the remaining letters. Is something I’d like to contribute to this.

I can try and think of bigger words. But it might take me some attempts.

right now I have ‘ungroped universe’ but I seriously doubt that’s correct

plausibly there’s a way to order it that makes more sense, rather than it being “just” an anagram

but we might be able to brute force it as an anagram anyway

Summary

there’s also the anagram solver method but that feels like cheating so I’m not going to use one

the ‘outside the box’ comment makes me vaguely worried that we’ll need to manipulate a letter, or something

or flip them upside down although at a glance that doesn’t look like it would actually help anything

Hmmm, maybe 2 letter scrabble words? In a chain.
I know the whole list.

(Mostly because whenever I played it against my sister she defeated me all the time since she knew them and I didn’t for the more zany letter combinations)

The question is… does the ! mean a wildcard or just that we need to have an exclamation at the end?

It’s either a word scramble or cipher based

Headmaster sunshine mumbles something about that being the reason the old headmaster was removed in the first place.
