1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,280
SPEAKER 1: OK, so our
third puzzle of this year

2
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:04,290
was called Metaverse Hospital.

3
00:00:04,290 --> 00:00:08,070
And for this one we had about 1,000
of you submit a correct answer,

4
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:12,000
and 500 submit an answer that was
almost there, but just not quite.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,060
So let me turn it over to our
friends at Meta to help us solve

6
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:17,280
and walk through this puzzle here.

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,460
SPEAKER 2: Hello, everyone.

8
00:00:18,460 --> 00:00:19,020
I'm Amy.

9
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:20,880
I'm also a software engineer at Meta.

10
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,790
And I wrote the puzzle
Metaverse Hospital.

11
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:27,310
And I heard it was one of the harder
puzzles in the puzzle hunt this year.

12
00:00:27,310 --> 00:00:29,500
So yeah, I'm here to walk
you through the solution.

13
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:31,590
So the first part of
the puzzle you're met

14
00:00:31,590 --> 00:00:35,280
with a bunch of emojis and some numbers.

15
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:42,000
After some thinking and looking
at the flavor text and the title,

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,670
you'll come to realize
that all these emojis are

17
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:46,960
colloquial names of diseases.

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,580
And you can then--

19
00:00:48,580 --> 00:00:50,910
for example, the first
one is milk and leg.

20
00:00:50,910 --> 00:00:53,550
Actually milk leg is a disease.

21
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:57,690
And you can find the scientific
name, which then matches the answer

22
00:00:57,690 --> 00:00:59,740
format that we're looking for.

23
00:00:59,740 --> 00:01:02,190
So once you have all of
this, you can go back

24
00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:05,670
to the bottom part of the emoji section.

25
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:09,780
And you'll see like, oh, what
does this fire and two mean?

26
00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:12,120
If you take a look at the
flavor text, we specifically

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,010
say that it's a Californian hospital.

28
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:16,290
So actually, there are
emergency codes that

29
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:19,620
are associated with colors,
for example, red for fire,

30
00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:23,110
or code orange for a
hazardous material or spill.

31
00:01:23,110 --> 00:01:26,250
And so you can match these up with
the emojis in the bottom section

32
00:01:26,250 --> 00:01:30,780
to get a color associated
with each of them.

33
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:33,210
And then if you go back
to the first section,

34
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:36,990
you can see in the front row some of
these colors are a bit suspicious.

35
00:01:36,990 --> 00:01:41,710
Like for example, the sickle
emoji is not usually purple.

36
00:01:41,710 --> 00:01:44,910
So you can see that the
first emoji in each section

37
00:01:44,910 --> 00:01:49,300
would be white, red, blue,
pink, orange, and so on.

38
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:53,100
And so if you match the index
given in the bottom section

39
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:59,120
to the color in the first emoji,
you can get the answer payments.

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,000
