41 even though my first guess was chemistry.

#99 in 108 (7 hours and 53 minutes... not full time...) 49.07%

koogs, Friday, 15 July 2022 15:55 (two years ago) link

'chemistry' and 'electrical' after about 20, took another 90 to think to stick them together after trying every electrical component i could think of

koogs, Friday, 15 July 2022 15:57 (two years ago) link

#99 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry

btw, the Redactle Unlimited rendered #99 better than the original did

I solved today's Redactle (#100) in 11 guesses with an accuracy of 63.64%.

Got it in 6 with the aid of a big giveaway halfway down, I should have thought harder about the second word - spoiler tagging in case of unconscious 'second' hint!

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Friday, 15 July 2022 18:50 (two years ago) link

i got both yesterdays and todays in 69 which i wish could say feels nice, but i had to cheat yesterday because i was in no way gonna get that big word and today i just floundered nowhere near the answer for ages until i realized i had... actually uncovered most of a sentence that i didn't notice while spamming? then i realized what the 3-letter word had to be, and the long word (and then i guessed first and third before second because i am a not-counting idiot)

Got #100 immediately (I took a punt on second being a more popular article than zeroth). First quick solve in a while.

but yeah i think the < halfway down broke something and showed half a sentence that it shouldn't've

64 (65%) got to the church in time (at 52), then it went fast

I got mosque after 4, at a loss now. maybe the name of a famous mosque is lurking in my brain somewhere, maybe not.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Saturday, 16 July 2022 18:42 (two years ago) link

I cheated. I have heard of it, would never have guessed it.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Saturday, 16 July 2022 20:32 (two years ago) link

it’s one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen in my life, the interior specifically

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 16 July 2022 22:47 (two years ago) link

i have the last line of the first paragraph which says exactly what it is (after 73). i have 9 hours to remember the title words.

#101 was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagia_Sophia

name did ring a bell but nope...

koogs, Sunday, 17 July 2022 16:08 (two years ago) link

also, with unlimited, i pressed "daily" several times and got different articles, none of them matching the original. the numbers weren't working either.

koogs, Sunday, 17 July 2022 16:10 (two years ago) link

and today it's not even giving me that option. but does want to waste cycles on animating the title.

koogs, Sunday, 17 July 2022 16:14 (two years ago) link

37 - a bit dim, physics in one but didn't guess force till 27, and shouldn't have taken another ten after that. i blame the heat.

I can't load this page anymore ;____;

Ima Gardener (in orbit), Monday, 18 July 2022 17:10 (two years ago) link

Ah nm I figured out how to go there anyway even though my browser is unhappy about it.

Ima Gardener (in orbit), Monday, 18 July 2022 17:13 (two years ago) link

in one, getting a bit bored of all these science ones.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Monday, 18 July 2022 17:15 (two years ago) link

I am too, but that's because I end up having to cheat (I needed 154 guesses though).

Stone Cold Steve Ostinato (Leee), Monday, 18 July 2022 17:54 (two years ago) link

flogging a maths horse for 96 guesses and getting nowhere

koogs, Monday, 18 July 2022 18:01 (two years ago) link

167 to solve. i wonder how Shaggy 2 Dope would have done on this one

how do they fucking work?

No, I think it was without the -ism?

Michael Jones, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 16:15 (two years ago) link

i did wonder because the text wasn't quite how i remembered it. i had redactle unlimited still open in a tab but it refreshed when i clicked into it and gave me a 500 and then was gone

koogs, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 17:02 (two years ago) link

moar physics

koogs, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 17:04 (two years ago) link

one again, good for my stats but come on. i didn't even scroll past the first para.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Tuesday, 19 July 2022 17:28 (two years ago) link

158 and a cheat because i have never heard of this

imagine how much smarter id be if after completing redactle i actually read the articles. never gonna happen lol im gonna stay dumb

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Tuesday, 19 July 2022 18:28 (two years ago) link

³⁰ here. not sure why it did that...

i also found out there are two redactle unlimited sites, one with a hyphen, one without. but one of them doesn't mirror the current game.

koogs, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 20:33 (two years ago) link

Surprised to get this in 46 because I have never knowingly heard of this thing, but I uncovered enough to make an educated guess. Guessing the "____-" in the second paragraph was a big help.

I did not need to see the photos in the Wiki entry for #105.

boxedjoy, Wednesday, 20 July 2022 16:53 (two years ago) link

285. Had to cheat by looking at my child's vaccination records. (Somehow that seemed more honourable than just googling). Not sure I would have remembered it on my own.

I don't know if the articles are chosen from the list at random, but to my taste there is too much science lately... give us some history, geography, arts, humanities...

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Wednesday, 20 July 2022 18:29 (two years ago) link

Oops, thought I had hidden that whole thing. I guess you can't have paragraph breaks within hidden tags? Sorry for that vague clue, however vague it may be.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Wednesday, 20 July 2022 18:30 (two years ago) link

41, 56.1%. took me 30 to get disease, up till then I had no clue, I'd forgotten that _. ________ often indicates a bacterium name. Then I had to think of a ten letter disease, I discounted the answer at first till I remembered it has two Hs.

Today is another bust, because although I know what this is, I'm never going to be able to guess the family of freshwater fish carp belong to. So I'm just going to look it up and save my evening.

Michael Jones, Thursday, 21 July 2022 18:31 (two years ago) link

yes, I got all the first sentence apart from the title in 31, no chance of getting any further.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Thursday, 21 July 2022 18:45 (two years ago) link

Abandoned hope at guess 103, and rightly so.
