I groaned when I read the first clue.

I've got to pay more attention to what M keeps saying in the puzzle text.

Alright, telepaths. The other clue has been dropped - "basement". What's the solution gonna be?

thank you! as soon as i saw this, the answer popped into my head. it was the missing link after struggling with it for a while.

where'd everybody go?
I think it's a question.

Is everyone still alive? What happened - did someone give a spoiler so complete that it unraveled the mystery of every theorem that has been the subject of discussion here? (Perhaps my master hint, maybe?)

Hi, new here
new here

Hello,
I'm new here. I found TMT about two months ago, and I'm having a blast. I've completed all the theorems, and some of the seals.

Obviously I'm missing most of the "special date" seals. I'm kind of stuck on "next to nothing".. I've read everything here, and still am lost.

Can someone give me a little nudge in the right direction?
Thanks!

Can't for the life of me get the Anti-Social Media seal.

I've done what is required about 5 times and it's thrown out a big "Fail!" every. single. time. http://cl.ly/0D0i2g2L2i2c34261L45

you have to be above 0:00:00 for it to be considered a win. too many times i got it at the last second and failed. after a bit of examination, i figured out how to eliminate all the blocks in 5 clicks. its easier than one might think. Just have to think with gravity really.

Actually,

Yes, there still has to be time left on the clock, but more importantly it seems that you're not allowed to use more than a certain number of clicks. The Javascript submits a list of your clicks to the server and some testing I did showed that the server will reject otherwise valid solutions if they use too many clicks.

I'm guessing this is some sort of anti-cheating mechanism, to try to prevent people from just modifying the javascript to increase the amount of time allowed.

M has changed the description so that it now says "Note that this isn't about brute force; you'll only get the Seal for finding the elegant solution"

He should've clarified that in the first place; and, the 2.0 second limit is pointless. I spent a long time brute forcing it, until later I saw his update -- I ended up submitting the correct solution, which took 10+s to click, after js hack, and was accepted. In other words, the clicks are more important than the time. =(

Anti social -- slow computer

I think we've found a five-click solution, but there's no way to tell because our old Mac won't take five clicks in 2 seconds. Can you tell us the js hack so we can "slow" the clock and submit our five-click solution?

No.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I've seen the hints about "right", and I'm assuming I have to scroll right, or find something on the right side of the screen that isn't anywhere else, am I correct?

Wow. A really easy theorem this time, as well as a pretty easy (especially for 500 points) seal.
