That’s too random. Don’t post like that or this thread will get locked.

(Shoutouts to 121 being a square of a prime number)

It really feels like the shop should offer a reduction, but I couldn't get P11 domino sparker to cooperate. I literally spent 40 minutes this afternoon trying to find a reduction, and I even tried harnessing the honey farm that's created when one of the blocks in removed.

If you believe you discovered or constructed something cool, then please describe your discovery or construction when posting it. It is likely that you know details about your reaction or pattern that nobody else knows, so please provide those details.

If you don't explain what you posted, then nobody is obliged to spend efforts guessing or reverse-engineering the ideas. Sometimes, some people might choose anyway to attempt to understand something that wasn't explained or was explained confusingly. But they don't have to do so, and they are doing that by choice (or not doing that).

Also, this forum thread duplicates viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5730 "Thread for your miscellaneous posts and discussions", and probably should be locked.

Or you could have not bumped a thread that was dead for over a year...
