Billiard Room Puzzles (~30+) Help

[Izy]

So I thought I was understanding the new rule with the puzzles until I got to this weird twist.

Can someone break this down into steps for me so I can understand?

You always start with 0

The partially filled in spaces mean you divide by 3 (1/3 of the value).

So 5/3 = 1 2/3
10/3 = 3 1/3

0 - 1 2/3 - 3 1/3 = -5

then you do the bullseye calculation, which in this case is squared

-5^2 = 25

then you move to the next ring, which is to subtract 20

25-20=5

then you repeat the bullseye, because the color still matches

5^2 = 25

Then the third ring, which is divide by 5

25/5 = 5

Thank you!

It was my first time doing one where they weren't whole numbers and I think it threw me off enough that I started squaring them at the wrong times. What you say makes perfect sense, I think that's the sign I needed that I'm too tired and need to resume this tomorrow.

I find it a lot easier to think of them as fractions rather than decimals. I haven't found a case where it's not just even thirds.

I know the easiest way to solve the puzzle. You right click, turn 180 degrees, and walk away. No one should have to be a rocket scientist to get 1 or 2 keys. It's just flat out ridiculious.

It's not that bad, dude. 90% of them are easy enough to do in your head.

the bullseye is 60, now do the math and ignore the fact that there are a few subtractions that arent all the way filled in. assume that the bullseye is 60 (like in real life darts) and the answer comes to 5

60 is the score you get when you score a bullseye when playing a lot of different variations of darts. 60-10-5-20 equals 25, divided by 5 equals 5. idk what youre doing with fractions lmao

Uh, have you played any of these puzzles before? Bullseye absolutely does not mean 60.

If your method involves ignoring symbols it's obviously not correct.

Uh, no.
The guest bedroom explicitly states that the dart board does NOT follow the rules of traditional darts.

Pffft, 'rocket science'--it's 8th grade math, at worst.

Placing the Classroom type rooms will teach you the way the math system in this works.

The biggest issue with the Billiards room is that the puzzles get more and more and more involved to the point that, yeah, I don't want to stop enjoying my run to crack out a few minutes of math. Thankfully, there is a permanent upgrade for the room that makes it only require solving a single addition problem for the key payout.
