"Significant Digits" Oct. 13, 2023

[ZooAnimalsOnWheels]

I'm completely at sea here, but my brother claims to have figured it out, so I've asked him for a nudge. Otherwise, I will be asking for help at Last Call.

[HunterX]

Gave in and finally requested a small nudge. Then made a bunch of attempts, and now finally ashore.

Now to stop procrastinating and do some house cleaning. Or.... the Eagles will be on soon... Hmmm.

[mattythewsjpuzzler]

No nudges. No shore. Mocktails with Isaac.

[WSJosh]

At sea on this Sunday afternoon.

Drinking at the literal shore while puzzling over the spreadsheet version (no printer at our rental house) proved fruitless. Soberly poring over a printed version at home doesn't appear to be getting me anywhere either. Looks like Week 3 of my streak of frustration.

Last Call with Isaac Zoom session tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern. Come one, come all!

[Tom Shea]

With Isaac and no time to even check the boarding times for the launch.

Good luck all.

[Kris Zacharias]

On shore! Tried my technique in several ways and finally found the correct procedure.

[MajordomoTom]

I'm still pondering which "digits" are significant and which "numbers" are significant ... might join the call this evening

[TeamDoubleTow]

Literally dragged to shore by a very, very patient muggle. Will not be submitting but happy to be done!

[CopperRiver]

Pretty sure I have step one. Need a nudge I think.

[TeaJenny]

Ashore! Finally!

[MajordomoTom]

the late zoom >> BEACH

[moron]

Ashore thanks to the last call zoom. After the rabbit holes I tripped into, I'm going to need some alcohol that is "High-proof" (60a).

[LarsCaine]

I was all around the solution- needed the zoom to get ashore. Thanks!

[CopperRiver]

Towed to shore by shalmanezer. Thanks again. Was on the right track with step one but not submitting.

Good luck on this one!

[woozy]

Oh my gosh.... I finally realized (by an inadvertent post that has a spoiler) *how* one was supposed to do this. It's the *only* way really but still....

In hindsight it's amazing that this was so hard.

[mkmf]

Finally on shore. Getting out a clean sheet of paper and writing out what was known was a big help.

[BisbeeTam]

Well, after a great streak, this has been three weeks now of endless rabbit holes. I’ve cleaned out poor Isaac. I’m expecting another giant face palm I’ll be giving myself when I see the answer. Each time I’ve been so close…yet so far.
