Decode / Solution
The original picture consists of three parts:
1. the puzzle on the left
2. the sum in the middle (Cross Sums, Kakuro, カ ッ ク ロ) and
3. a bunch of formulae on the right with similar sums.
The title mentions that there is only one error in each of the three sections.
13AR Archetype 4: Left part of the puzzle
Summarizing the conditions given in the puzzle on the left:
No | Agent | Level | Squad | Start playing | Badge |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Alice | L7 | |||
2 | L7 | Foot-E | |||
3 | Foot-E | 2016 | |||
4 | Alice | 2018 | |||
5 | L16 | Founders | |||
6 | Bob | Gold Innovator | |||
7a | David | before Eve | |||
7b | Eve | before Claire | |||
8 | Bike-1 | 2014 | |||
9 | Bob or Eve | L12 | 2015 | ||
10 | L9 | Bike-3 | |||
11 | Claire | 2016 | |||
12a | Bike-? | 2016 | |||
12b | L13 | Bike-? | |||
13 | L16 | Foot-A | |||
14 | Foot-R | 2015 | |||
15 | Bob | Bike-? | |||
16 | Foot-A | 2013 |
It was found that the third message was wrong. So the answer is:
Agent | Level | Squad | Start playing | Badge |
---|---|---|---|---|
Alice | L7 | Foot-E | 2018 | |
Bob | L13 | Bike-1 | 2014 | Gold Innovator |
Claire | L9 | Bike-3 | 2016 | |
David | L16 | Foot-A | 2013 | Founders |
Eve | L12 | Foot-R | 2015 |
Sequentially arrange the Squads and we get the answer to the puzzle that is
E13AR
13AR Archetype 4: Right part of the puzzle
We can easily see these 3 values from the puzzle.
U = 2
F = 162
G =G² which means only G = 1 or G = 0 can be true.
Putting the values for U, F and G we can deduce other values.
A = 1575
B = 62
C = 27
D = 98
E = 32
F = 162
G = G ^ 2, so it can be either 0 or 1
H = 93
J = 2193084
K = 7
L = 352
M = 361-G-352 for the value of G = 0 or G = 1, it can be only 9 or 8
N = 361
O = 31
P = 22382
Q = 98 + G for the value of G = 0 or G = 1, it can be only 98 or 99
R = 3
S = 5
T = 691
U = 2
V = 19
Fill the grid pattern with the deduced numbers:
Now we see that,
when G = 1,
then Q = 99 and V = 19 the numbers can get on.
Moving further, J and P are not in the grid, so we deduce their values from the figure as J = 527182 and P = 5383
Now if we follow this, we will see
P = B x N. This formula is wrong.
The answer is 52 71 82 53 83 and then we convert this ASCII to text string from https://www.browserling.com/tools/ascii-to-text site and we get the answer to this grid puzzle which is
4GR5S
13AR Archetype 4: Middle part of the puzzle
According to Wikipedia, (Cross Sums, Kakuro, カ ッ ク ロ) has this rule
- Fill in square spaces with integers from 1 to 9.
- In a square separated by a slash, the number in the upper right corner is equal to the sum of the numbers in consecutive squares adjacent to the right, and the number in the lower-left corner is equal to the sum of the numbers in consecutive squares adjacent to it.
- The numbers in consecutive squares cannot be repeated, either horizontally or vertically.
In strict accordance with the rules to do this, you can get the upper right number to be 17 which is the wrong conclusion.
Add the numbers of each color give the answer to this puzzle.
19 5 22 19 16 1 3
The alphabetical conversion and we get the answer of the middle section of the 13 Archetypes challenge of Ingress to be
sevspac
13AR Archetype 4: Combining the solutions
The answers to the three puzzles E13AR – 4GR5S and sevspac are arranged in the order of right, middle and left and we get
4GR5SSEVSPACE13AR
In accordance with the SEV = 7 rule of the conversion, we get the solution to the 13 archetypes challenge: 4 Skeptic solution to be:
4GR5S7SPACE13AR
