I wanted* to share some more foundational documents, that are not at all for solving my puzzles but are about understanding me as a person as I turned/turn/will turn 45. This is “tmsnyder FAQ“, a document I wrote for the most incredible team of computational biologists and software engineers (and other collaborating team members) to know better how to interact with me. Within its structure are certain lessons like all of our superpowers and also our main weaknesses (and vice versa). Please read and comment if you are interested in knowing me better. My former team members still ask to see this every once in awhile so figured the world should have it.

*in the world of Ready Layer One, the leading player mars, either an AI, a team of testsolvers I pay to be ahead of everyone else, or who knows since there aren’t a flock of players building out the mythology so we don’t need an IOI, has traded in some of their earned items for extra info on harder content than anyone else has seen. Other foundational documents are expected to be released as they have actually traded everything in their search for the second door, having found the second keyword last night in the form of a time-traveling fox. So the leaderboard has some big changes coming soon, if it even exists.

Since there is no puzzle here for most solvers, I’ll share the easter egg directly of a photo from when I was 37 and our Parkinson’s team got to meet a special funder of neurodegenerative research (cropped from a larger group photo).
