the real puzzle is wtf happened to the 9th book...

[–] UnpledgedCatnapTipper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The same reason 6 is afraid of 7.

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If 6 was pretending to be 9 that just makes me think that 6 wants to be eaten by 7...

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

6 is going through exposure therapy.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Cause 7 is a six-offender?

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I want to know where book 0 is.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

it's in 0th place.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It is not a book on computer science or programming, so this is ok.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 57 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah that's funny and all but I'm more disturbed by your right to left numbering sequence

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then the digits would be too.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, that was the joke. Clearly people didn't get it.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That is the risk we take making jokes on the internet.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn’t your mom a joke on the internet? Haha, oh ho ho, heh heh heh. Woooooooo!

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am so angry right now I am going to punch a seagull.

I use this numbering sequence for manga only, very satisfying to coincide the reading directions with it.

[–] gon@lemm.ee 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is one of those things that I can only see because I know it's a puzzle so I know to look for inconsistencies.

Then again, would this really happen IRL, to begin with? Wouldn't you notice as you're organizing the books?

Whatever, fun post!

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It would not happen in real life, these posts with ridiculously long periods of time to find something are just doing the equivalent of "Only 10% of people can solve this basic puzzle!"

Why are the books in reverse order? To make the puzzle slightly harder. It's clickbait/attention seeking posting.

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's just meant to be amusing man

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Meh, I upvoted the post because the first sentence and the image was funny. Adding the extra line exaggerating how long it took is the clickbait part. They aren't mutually ezclusive.

Also, you should tske a pregnancy test because you missed your period.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

book 6 ran away because it is afraid of book 7

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In that case, it may have chosen the exact wrong way to hide.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

or maybe 6 was into it

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I notice number 9 is missing

The book was a romance that started from "and they lived haply ever after" went through a period were they became less and into each other, until they had a last kiss, then later met for the last time and ultimately ended up so far apart from each other that it was as if they had never met.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are only ~~4 lights~~ 8 volumes!

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

But only one inner light... uhm... flute.

[–] Isa 8 points 1 month ago

Yes, it took me about 5 seconds.

[–] shield_gengar@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

The horse was named Friday

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 7 points 1 month ago

There are other cues - the letters at the top of each of the others, but bottom of the upside-down 6/9.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Took me a second lol

[–] Marduk73@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago
[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

hey nowadays flipping the script is standard

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Damnit, don't make me stand on my head to figure these out.
