I got past the very first thing quickly and now have been looking at it for 2 hours. I feel it must be obvious but I'm so confused!
Viewing post in I feel like I overthinking this
Dear Mallardbro,
Sticking true to the whole letter format, I'd like to ask you a question. Upon reaching said step, what is the process you did towards finding out beyond trial and error? Currently I have them narrowed down to basic functions and upon restarting, the buttons seem to act the same but the symbols change location.
Yours truly,

Hi xAustinx,
If you know the basic types of each button (digits, operations,...) then there is a little bit of trial and error involved, sure. You have to figure out some calculation where you can predict the kind of answer you would get.
All the best,
Mallardbro.
P.S. There are some cakes in the meeting room, be quick!
