242

[Mutti]

[daringred_]

ok yall it's time to look for post number 242...

oh hell yeah, i love being a moron

 

[seliph]

i checked so many post 242s already it's unreal yall have fun

 

[~Kilza~]

ok yall it's time to look for post number 242...

fwiw, if it is in some thread on post number 242, that'd be located on page 13.

 

[.: Meri :.]

If the 242 could also be referring to Chevre's Amiibo card number, are there any K.K. Slider song covers (i.e., records) that she appears on?

 

[seliph]

242 is also galaxy eggs collectible number

 

[amemome]

Just to look at it again with the numbers, the clue is...

We have it on record. 2|4|2. Ineffective medicine.
Hi, Mom.

 

[daringred_]

sounds to me like someone (mod or user) posted on here about getting hurt and mentioned their mom and how the treatment or w/e wasn't working. but that seems too simple ajfkfkska.

 

[seliph]

if it's anything in the basement it could also be page 242 those threads go forever

 

[amemome]

the hi mom could be refering to kaiaa, i know her handle's been super momerator for a long time.

 

[mogyay]

hi, mom is also a pretty famous chinese comedy movie, idk how that would ever link but it does have the exact same grammar in the title and in the clue

 

[kiwikenobi]

My initial reaction to the clue is that "ineffective medicine" followed by "hi, mom" might be referring to how kids ask their moms to kiss their boo-boos to make them better. Which is a placebo, which someone else mentioned in relation to the phrase.

But that's all I've got before I've had my coffee. Perhaps I'll come back with smarter thoughts later. ^o^;>

Oh well this one sucks but I can’t help thinking that 2+2 = fish or something other than what we’re taking it as
I tried looking into splatoon but nothing yet

 

[nightglow]

That would be

2/2+2/2 not 2|2+2|2

| is sometimes used instead of / in math.

| is sometimes used instead of / in math.

In the US when those symbols are around a number it just means "absolute value" which is that number's distance from 0 on a number-line. so |2+2| still equals 4.

The vertical bar can also express divisibility. A simple example of this is a|b, which translates to "a divides b" or "b is divisible by a."

What is the vertical bar ( | )?

Learn how the vertical bar, also called the vertical line or pipe, is used as an operator in mathematics, computing and other fields.

Spoiler: 2|2+2|2

2|4|2 =1

it cancels itself out, if this is math idk

 

[DaCoSim]

Ok so 242 is the “hint”. Well that narrows it down some at least. I’ll go search too

 

[Chris]

Appreciate the kind words and understanding, all. She is currently mad at me for getting McDonalds without her. I think she'll be fine.

Because I know you're all totally invested in this now: I earned her forgiveness by buying her Chinese takeout.

In other news: this isn't intended to be a math challenge. The correct answer is the simplest one.
