It was a tricky one. I've read a guy from India figured out the code and he's been posting the (future) results and people on Twitter have been begging him to take it down because (I'm not on twitter so I don't know) it's easy to come across it and ruin the game.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

I was forewarned by my early morning social media (see, it has its good side) so I was able to deliberately go with quirky words, and get the solution in 5. Of course, you can always copy blocks discretely, if you want to make up stuff in your next post :P

The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.

Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF
