Anyway, let's resume... you both recall that robot girl who you were to preform a surgical operation on, to remove a Life Card from inside her body, correct?

Well, now you have to solve a puzzle. However, I haven't made any images for it, so I'll just explain it to you, and you can solve it.
Puzzle:
If you have 2-dimensional box consisting of 1x1 square units, and each square in the box can be one of two colors at any given time, how many different possible combinations are there? For the sake of explanation, ket's pretend one of the colors is red, and the other is blue. The answer is 2. One for a single red square, and the other for a single blue square.
Now, let's imagine it's a 2x2 box instead. Each of the four square units within the box can still only be one of two colors at any given time. How many different possible combinations are there? The answer is 14. There are sixteen possible unique combinations of red/blue squares in the 2x2 box.
Now, let's imagine it's still s 2x2 box, but this time each square unit can be one of three colors instead. How many possible combinations are there?

Just double checking I have every combo.

I don't think Persona's are that good at puzzles.

Ok, my initial guess is 24.
I'll throw that out there while I'm double checking.

......I have no idea what the answer is, but there's no way that's right. The answer has to be more than 50. >___>

Yeah, I think so too, let's just say I so far have 24 combo's.
So, I'm halfway done.

More than 50.
50 is probably a large underestimation.

Post by Zero on Jul 31, 2013 10:48:10 GMT -5
There's more than 150.

I didn't think 24 was right, it was just my progress, but wow.

I've thought of 105 so far. Think I'm almost there.

*sigh*
I only have 40 so far.

It's all about being formulaic. Don't just try to randomly guess every single one. Once you find the pattern, finding all 150++ combinations will be as simple as guessing maybe 9 of them.

Got 130 now!
And honestly, I'm just using a calculator and a pencil to solve this.

There isn't one on your computer?

Post by Fox Wilder on Jul 31, 2013 11:14:54 GMT -5
Yeah, there is.
I never use them so I forgot there was one in the computer.
I could figure out the rest now, but you're probably way ahead of my 50 ish count.

WAIT! WAIT WAIT!
I really messed up. I was trying to solve for a 3x3 box, instead of a 2x2 box. >______>

Oh dear, I made that mistake earlier, but noticed after only 4 combo's.
Well I'm stuck at 52, so go ahead.
