M's Garden
Another seal from the mind of M

There's a new seal in town. I looked all over the site, though it appears my search pattern has been sadly lacking.

Anyone have any ideas how to get unto it?

Hmm... I've looked and looked. Any hint on where to find it, without giving it away?

I got the seal, but I don't understand what the third garden was about

Re: M's garden seal

I found it and solved it and understood all three parts. Here's a hint as to where to start looking.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Check the archives

I finally solved it and understood it, just; still took a while, lots of guessing

I found and got it! Took some guessing, after the first 'garden'. M sure has some crazy things in there.

I got the Garden seal

But I'm not sure I understand garden 3 in particular.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I threw random things at it and kept a list of what worked But I can't say I discerned the universal rule. True for garden 2 as well though the fannee dooley garden was a kind starting point. Brute forced my way through and that's not as fun. Help after the fact is welcome. Also not a plan of having to click through old theorems to find it, but boy...a lot of weeks have gone by.

To the best of my knowledge:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Garden One had a specific characteristic in the middle of each word.
I have no idea what Garden Two was.
Garden Three accepts only words that follow one of a certain set of patterns (hint: do some of the words seem similar?)

Having looked at
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
all the old theorems in the archives as well as the archive pages (obvious place to think of as his 'garden')
I still can't find the damn thing.

I am seeing some odd behavior
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
with text that loads as bold then changes to regular after a few seconds. Is this part of it?
Also a small square that loads as white near the anitsocial media link that seems to disappear as the page finalizes.


What screen resolution etc are those who can find this using?
(I recall another seal the link to which could not be accessed in some screen resolutions in its original version.)

@NoSeeUm: The link to the puzzle is (big spoiler)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
in the text accompanying a previous theorem. Look for references to a garden.


You don't need any special screen sizing to access it.

Yes, "help after the fact" would be welcome to me, as well. I got through it, but...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
...for the second and third gardens, I think I only identified a single pattern and stuck with that, while there appear to be multiple patterns.

There was a reliable single pattern for the first and third. I have no idea what the pattern was for the second, I brute forced it.
