In Stellar Blade, at a certain point, the game will unlock a quest board system. It is located in the city of Xion, and there are two quests that involve using mathematics to solve puzzles. These quests are called “Simple Puzzle” and “Wisdom Puzzle”. The steps to complete these quests are as follows:
ACCEPTING A QUEST
Starting Point
After accepting the quests, we have to run to the innermost area of the city. There will be a control panel where we can enter numbers. The prompts will be in the form of mathematical expressions. For the first quest, “Simple Puzzle”, the prompt is as follows:
- 4@7@8 = 285684
- 9@3@5 = 271542
- 6@2@7 = 121426
- 5@6@7 = ?
Answers for Simple Puzzle and Wisdom Puzzle
How to Solve : For this problem, there is a simple way to think about it: Take the first and second numbers and multiply them together. Then take the second and third numbers and multiply them. Next, take the results of these two sets and arrange them as a four-digit number. Finally, add the two numbers together again.
For example, with 4@7@8, take 4 and multiply it by 7, and take 7 and multiply it by 8. This gives (4×7 = 28) and (7×8 = 56). So you have the numbers 28 and 56. Then add these two numbers: 28+56 = 84.
You’ll notice that the first four digits, 2856, are simply the results of the first two multiplications arranged together. The last two digits, 84, are the sum of the first four digits. So 4@7@8 equals 285684.
For 5@6@7, take 5 and multiply by 6, and take 6 and multiply by 7. so (5×6 = 30) and (6×7 = 42), which are the numbers 3042. Then separate them and add: 30+42 = 72. Arrange these numbers to get 304272.
The Answer for 5@6@7 = ? is “304272”
After completing the first quest, another quest called “Wisdom Puzzle” will appear as a continuation. The conditions for accepting the quest and location to entry the code will be the same as before. However, this time the prompt will be:
- 37#21 = 928
- 77#44 = 3993
- 123#17 = 14840
- 71#6 = ?
How to Solve : For this set of problems, there is a slightly more complicated way of thinking about it. You take the two sets of numbers, square each one, and then subtract them. The result is the answer. For example, with the first set 37#21 = 928, you take 37 and 21 and square them, so (37×37 = 1369) and (21×21 = 441). Then you subtract the results: 1369 – 441 = 928. And That’s why 37#21 = 928
So for the problem 71#6, you take (71×71 = 5041) and (6×6 = 36), then subtract the results: 5041 – 36 = 5005.
The Answer for 71#6 = ? is “5005”
