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

The same reason 6 is afraid of 7.

[-] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago

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

6 is going through exposure therapy.

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Cause 7 is a six-offender?

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I want to know where book 0 is.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

it's in 0th place.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 58 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago
[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Then the digits would be too.

[-] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

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

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

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 43 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

It's just meant to be amusing man

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

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.

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

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

[-] shield_gengar@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

The horse was named Friday

[-] Isa@feddit.org 8 points 2 years ago

Yes, it took me about 5 seconds.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 7 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Took me a second lol

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

[-] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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