(Q - ??: you who have access to the solutions MB : real distinction between Super Solution which gives access to the hair pile and the Mega Tip which allows you to avoid false leads, it suits you or not
?)
MB : the notion of Mega Tip and Super Solution, I compare it to a counterweight/balance effect, these are 2 elements which complement each other and which at the same time balance each other for understanding, access to the Super Solution , after saying that the Mega Tip intervenes at all levels, it is not a martingale which allows you to pass 'puzzles to others... The Mega Tip is a notion which is found several times throughout the game and which has its uses but it is not a gateway to moving from one solution to another with certainty.
(Q - ??: but it allows you to sort?)
MB : what do you call sorting, sorting of what? between the psites?
(Q - ??: if we are on the wrong track we can see it thanks to the Mega Tip?)
MB : we, no, no, she's not here to tell you be careful, false trail, it's not a red light, no, no, no! It helps to find the right track it's not quite the same but not to determine that the track is false.
My role is to refocus the game. We cannot consider that a game that has lasted for 29 years does not include a level of difficulty or incomprehension on the part of some somewhere, that's not possible. This means that at a given moment if we want this game to continue to live, we must start by cleaning up, first counter-mark and now at the level of understanding what there is to do in this game. I can't let you say that the Mega Tip allows you to say be careful, false trail, no, no!
(Q - ??: Max had said that the Mega Tip was something that if you had it, could help but if you didn't have it it wasn't serious, crucial, that we were just going to go around in circles for longer, does that seem closer to you?)
MB : yes it is much closer to what it is, but once again, I cannot separate the Mega Tip from the concept of Super Solution, they are 2 extremely linked things. But yes, this last remark from Max Valentin is something more coherent. But when you tell me that the Mega Tip allows you to avoid false leads, certainly not.
(Q - ??: in the solutions does Max talk about the Mega Tip, does he indicate what it is?)
MB : well of course but not in these terms, this notion appears but not in these terms, it is part of the Minitel exchanges. in the wording of the solutions which were previous, he did not talk about that, this notion appears but under this term. The notion exists if you want...no I'm going to go a little further: you say Mega Tip...all these stories are pernicious, because they imply a constituted, very specific thing that was fabricated apart from the rest, but in fact it was not manufactured as a Mega Trick, it is a concept used somewhere in the development of the puzzles and which turns out to play this role several times in the game, but the The very notion of Mega Tip is already almost too much, it doesn't stand out as clearly as that. It's like if you told me I have an adjustable wrench, it will fit all the nuts that I'm going to want to unscrew. The Mega Tip does not fit all nuts, it is a hole that is used several times, it is not the universal sesame.
(Q - immortal tofu: would you say it's a tool?)
MB : rather a term of concept which appears several times in the game and proves to be more than useful, even essential if we want to find the right solution, it is more of a concept than a tool, the term of tool, but like the term Mega Tip, it gives it too much...to personify something very precise when it is a precise notion but not strictly a tool.
(Q - ??: between notion and tool we could say "means"?)
MB : no, no, no way, you have a tool in your tool kit, you take it out when you need it and that's not exactly the case with the Mega Tip, it's really a notion that comes into play several times, we say to ourselves in relation to this notion ""I see what I have to do"", it's not ""I'm going to resort to the Mega Tip which tells me what to do"", that's not all exactly the same. It's a somewhat diffuse notion, I'm very careful not to mislead. It's not a systematic tool, it's not an adjustable wrench that fits every time.
