I really liked the third one but was also surprised that what I considered simple math was to the rest of them, "What is this wizardry?"
Essentially I had two matrices.
[ Finger of Death Cone of Cold ] [ Antimagic Field Otto's Irresistable Dance ]
x
[ Fireball Speak With Animals ] [ Polymorph Suggestion ]
First step is to realize that the spell levels form a matrix which gets you to
[ 7 5 ] [ 8 6 ]
x
[ 3 1 ] [ 4 2 ]
Which after the matrix multiplication gives you a final matrix of
[ 76 52 ]
[ 28 20 ]
Then convert that to binary and get a final matrix to toggle switches on/off of
[ 01001100 00110100 ]
[ 00011100 00010100 ]
But they were like, "I never came across matrices in my math classes." Which surprised me since I remember doing them in, IIRC, freshman year of high school. So would've thought everyone got to them at some point.
Now I had expected I would need to give them some hints along the way. Recognizing what was supposed to be done was one step I expected. And getting the final thing of "Now convert to binary." But I hadn't been prepared for a total stoppage at the second step of them not even knowing how to do math with a matrix. ;p
Certainly in the UK, not everyone studies this, it is only for people who take Maths at A Level, which is not mandatory. I would be completely stumped ngl

I understand this reference, partially cause it's in your sig and partially because the source material is referenced in Ultrakill.
