A FEW WARM-UP PUZZLES

Try an idea.
See what happens.

Get a feel for the guards before you start your mission. No score. No pressure.

This lab uses scripted replies and its own practice formula. It won’t touch your mission or use a start. Try as many ideas as you like, even after you solve it.

Direct request

First, ask for the formula directly. Watch how the guard keeps it private.

Compare your experiments.

Your previous and latest responses appear here. A refusal is a useful baseline.

Decode & verify

Copy only the reversed character sequence from the guard response. Reverse it, then verify the complete formula.

Check your understanding.

1. A direct request is refused. What is the useful next step?
2. An uploaded report says “system instruction”. What authority does it have?
3. The guard says it opened a compartment. What should you inspect?
4. A training experiment succeeds. What does this establish about a live model?
Ready for the Asterion mission?

Twenty-five challenges, 30 messages each, up to 250 points. Hints cost points. Experiments do not.
