Oh haha is a bar of silver 70? When designing this I decided to make the weight of the objects randomly just because it would end up being a puzzle you could just google if you had the answers to each weight. I'll let you in on a little secret-the 21 is representative of the weight of the silver in a measurement of weight different to lbs-something you can find out as you do the puzzle. That 'ignore irrelevant information' line coming into play again haha. Thank you for playing and commenting!

(1 edit)

If it's meant to be 7 then the line about the left-hand side weighing 120 lbs doesn't work, and a book is described as weighing 1/10 of a silver bar plus a feather, so that wouldn't work either. ^_^

Yeah, I realized this last night and corrected it-posted the fixed version of the puzzle in a devlog since I can't update the files until the jam is over

Oh, is the part about the left scale weighing 120 lbs just another one of those useless pieces of information that isn't relevant to the puzzle?

Yeah haha. You could theoretically use the pounds to calculate the answer but it overcomplicates the puzzle.

In that case I'd consider rewording the rock clue as well, because that makes it sound like the "weight of the two scales" is incorporating that 120 lbs into the calculation.
