The king of procrastination is here!

Inspired by many community members, such as RosimInc, TomasMacMordain, Ignition365, steveywonder75, moonlightdriver and many others, I present you with a 7-wagon out-of-nowhere overdue train to celebrate my 7th cakeday (which was in May) and reaching level 7 (which was on January 5, 2025).

So I decided to read again (between this, TV series, movies, job applications, I now rarely have time to play games. I donโ€™t remember the last time I actually played a game, probably in June? RIP my game library, I will tackle the backlog one dayโ„ข). The first book I am gonna read is called Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. How much would I remember after reading the book, probably little, but it is good to know. I prefer the old-school approach to reading, so I bought a paperback version. This sentence was removed, see edit

Also all the games come from Fanatical Mystery Box Bundle and VIP Mystery Bundle, and I am the guy who would pick lottery numbers with 0 number matching (which takes skills and it a skill itself - I can provide numbers that won't be drawn). So don't get your hope up.

Happy veeery late ๐ŸŽ‚day, ColdOut!
The topic of the book you mentioned sounds like something I would be interested in, if I wasn't playing games all the time. Gaming is just too convenient. ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Edit: after solving the nono

Have you made absolutely certain that all accessible versions are identical? As stated by others, numbering varies, and (4) falls apart due to images in the book

Thanks for the hint! I gave it a go, but I couldn't solve it. I thought I had the right idea, but I guess there are still several ways you could interpret the code you get after solving the nono. I might try again during the weekend.

I got Sapiens as a birthday gift for a family member earlier in the year, it looked great.

Congrats on 7 years + level 7!

Happy cakeday! If you like Sapiens, you might be interested in Guns Germs and Steel. I still prefer Jared Diamond's style and depth over Harari's conciseness, but it's undeniable Sapiens is a much easier read on the topic.

I got stuck on the puzzle so I won't be boarding the train, but I hope the puzzle-aficionados on SG enjoy the GAs :)

I will for sure to check the book out after I finish Sapiens. I heard about it when I was a kid but never managed to read it

Oh goodness, an easy nono leads to a much harder puzzle! I'm stymied.

Congrats on the double 7 achievements. Nice milestones ticked!
Glad my thread has inspired you a little bit to make one of your own. :-)
The nono was a nice puzzle but its too late in the evening for me to try and work out the other number puzzle. Will give it a go tomorrow.
Bumping!
