[A Distant Demon]

Why is Sanaki the first Radiant character in FE Heroes?

To fit their sibling gimmick


And to be juuuuuust enough to keep fans of the two radiant games interested, but not enough to sate them for when the Radiance banner inevitably hits and fills nintendo's wallets with that sweet sweet Ike cash.



Unrelated note before I go to sleep. We are just shy of 72 hours away from switch release.

Nice

Here's a puzzle for you guys.

There are four women who want to cross a bridge. They are all at the same side. It's night so they need a flashlight to travel. There is only one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross the bridge at any time and they must have the flashlight with them. It cannot be thrown across the bridge. So if you want it at the other side, you must escort it back.

Each woman walks at different speeds, but a pair of women must walk at the speed of the slower woman.

Woman 1 can make the trip in 1 minute.
Woman 2 can make it in 2.
Woman 3 can make it in 5.
Woman 4 can make it in 10.

You have 17 minutes to get everyone to the other side.

How do you accomplish this task?

Spoiler: Answer

1: Send Woman 1 and 2 across.
2: Send Woman 1 back.
3: Send Woman 3 and 4 across.
4: Send Woman 2 back.
5: Send Woman 1 and 2 across.

2 + 1 + 10 + 2 + 2 = 17.

The real question is: Why are six men with seemingly nothing in common going on a picnic together? Are you telling me that BOTH the gym AND spa are closed?

Okay, Nintendo won 2017 already. Not because of the Switch in a few days, but this

I love Usian Bolt, he's probably my most favorite Olympic athlete.

And another reason why Nintendo won 2017 TO ME is because of this:

If anyone did not know, this game is developed by a Taiwan company called Rayark. I personally have never heard of this game, but I'm both glad and confused on how on earth there is a game made in by Taiwan game company when Nintendo Switch has no official import? Sure, import and develop are two different things, but this game may help attraction Taiwan mobile gamers getting Nintendo Switch.

Three men, I meant three men. I skimmed through it and thought that each listed hint was for a single person.

Well still wrong, as four men are listed.

Yeah, you're both correct.

Good job.

Let me see if I can get another puzzle.

Hmm....

 

[Deleted member]

Bleh, four men, I meant four men. (Now I'm thinking that I'm making these mistakes because I'm applying math for some reason.)

My point still stands.

Must have skimmed real fast.

I always do, I just didn't even notice that the names repeated.

So the Switch game "VOEZ" can NOT be played in TV-mode and can be only be played in portable mode.

Interesting.

One con I saw in VOEZ's Chinese Wikipedia page, it requires Internet connection to play...

Wait, I got that game on mobile.

What's this about?

It's a rhythm game. It talks about six high school students from a town called Lan Kong (A fiction town taken from a real county in Taiwan called Yilan) forming a band and chase their dream.

Three jackals are on one side of a river. Three coyotes are on the other. Each group wants to cross the river but they only have one boat among them. The issue is that the boat can only carry two people at a time. Also, at no point can the jackals outnumber the coyotes on one side or else they will eat the coyotes.

How do they get across safely?

Have the Jackals use their shields to block any attempts of the coyotes attacking.

Which side is the boat on? Or is there a boat on each side? Also, I like how you use jackals and coyotes, but you say the boat can only carry two people.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

The boat can start on either side.

And you're implying jackals and coyotes aren't people.

I never knew we had a racist among us.

Whoops.

Have the Jackals use their shields to block any attempts of the coyotes attacking.

Bruh, do you know how to read?

You switched them.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Take 2 Jackals over
Take 1 Jackal, 1 Cayote back
Bring 2 Jackals over
Bring 2 cayote's back

IDK, I guess there is a moment where the jackals outnumber the one cayote before loading them on the boat though

Send one Jackal across, let him off and put one Coyote in the boat. Drop the Coyote off and pick up the other 2 Jackals. Get them to cross to the other side, drop them off and let the other 2 Coyotes board and go across.

 

[Deleted member]

Bruh, do you know how to read?

Fine in that case, shoot the coyotes legs so they can't even walk, then have the jackals cary them onto the boat and then send the Coyotes to the other side. And I know what you're thinking, "there's no way you can shoot all of their legs so precisely. Well to that I say

jackal snipers never miss, especially on legendary.

The proper answer

Spoiler

They all just swim across...

And let the boat drift downstream, since it has a hole and it is slowly sinking anyway...

At no point did you say that they HAD to use the boat to cross...

Eat this

That isn't a coyote.

That is a wolf.

This is a coyote.

EDIT:

That might be a coyote with a winter coat.

Point is, they're about the same size.

 

[Deleted member]

Exactly. That's why he probably means the Jackals from Halo.

(Though that's a wolf, in all seriousness. I almost forgot the other animal was a coyote. But I've still seen coyotes larger than Jackals around these parts.)

Don't you mean specie-st?
*insert Nostalgia Critic & 2nd Titanic animated movie here*
Anyway:

Spoiler: Answer

-Start the boat on the Jackal side.
-Send 1 Jackal forward.
-Have 2 Coyotes ride back.
-Have 1 Jackal and 1 Coyote forward.
-Have 2 Coyotes ride back.
-Have 1 Jackal ride across.

Basically, when you send the one Jackal across, there should be 2 Jackals/1 Jackal & 3 Coyotes. When you send the 2 Coyotes back, there then should be 2 Jackals & Coyotes/1 Jackal & Coyote. When you send 1 Jackal and Coyote across again, then it should be 1 Jackal & Coyote/2 Jackals & 2 Coyotes. Then you have the 2 Coyotes ride back, making 1 Jackal and 3 Coyotes/2 Jackals and than have the lone Jackal go across to it's fellow kin. There shouldn't have been a single time where the Jackals outnumber the coyotes.

Hey, that's just what the puzzle said made.

 

[Aetheri]

Ok but seriously

This may be confusing to read but...
J=Jackal
C=Coyote
arrows indicate the side the boat is on

3J<-3C
2J->3C1J (1Jackal crosses)
2C2J<-1C1J (2Coyotes cross)
1C1J->2C2J (1Coyote and 1Jackal crosses)
3C1J<-2J (2Coyotes crosses)
3C->3J (1Jackal crosses)

 

[Deleted member]

My sarcasm aside(And me being tired and making screw ups aside.), coyotes are actually twice the size of jackals, as wolfs are twice the size of coyotes.

Jackals are only a bit larger than a red fox.

Spoiler

Dey smol

One coyotes could probably take on three, to be honest.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Ok so I figured it out

Jackal
35–45 cm
8–11 kg

Coyote
58 – 66 cm
6.8 – 21 kg

Coyote's at max are twice as big as Jackals in weight and the shortest coyote is larger than the tallest jackal

 

[Aetheri]

Fine, one side has Chihuahuas the other Great Danes...

Chihuahuas will obviously devour the Great Danes if they outnumber them...

 

[Ivander]

That is correct. Good job.

Would you like another? I don't want to thrust puzzles on everyone if they don't want it.

Yeah, I think I'm done for now. Funny enough, the only reason I answered the first one was because a couple minutes ago, I was browsing through some random set of videos and I unintentionally found one that involved riddles. So it came as a laugh when after I was done watching the video and coming to check and see if anything came up on the forum, only to end up seeing someone giving out a puzzle. The video and puzzle must have awoken my inner Layton.

Either way, I should get the rest, considering I'm not only still anticipating and waiting for the Switch launch and avoiding BotW spoilers, but waiting for the possible(not guaranteed, just possible) big Overwatch reveal and/or patch update tomorrow. I feel a bit overhyped from a bit too much excitement and anticipation.

I hope we can get a new hero reveal, and also with the new server.
And Switch having a portable only game and made by a Taiwan indie game company really proves that Switch is d=easy to develop for. But I also hope there won't be too much portable only game.
