Thank you! I have read all the hints in this forum! I am stuck on the emojis any hints are welcome!

1. Finding the puzzle: Go to the Hints & Solutions page. Make sure you have entered in all your solutions so they should all say "solved."
2. Starting the puzzle: Try entering some random solution. Don't give up. Keep entering wrong answers like many many many times. Eventually you'll be able to actually start the puzzle.
Let me know if you need more help :)

Hi all,
Have worked my way through everything but I'm stuck at the "fancy-suits-and-shined-shoes" puzzle and cannot for the life of me get any numbers/fractions to appear as has been mentioned here multiple times. I'm guessing I have to flip the picture in some way as I can grab it with the mouse but I seem to be misisng something.
Please send help

Now that I'm done, I thought I'd give some tips for all the mini-puzzles. The hints are in order of spoilage, and I do recommend you try to solve the puzzles and think about it for a while before you look at the hints. Also: Do not use mobile for this theorem. Seriously.
Finding the puzzles:
It's all on the Hints and Solutions page.
Focus on the solution box.
Uzqf bo botxfs jo. Epft bozuijoh ibqqfo?
Puzzle #1 (Your Last Chance)
Googling things isn't going to help you.
Don't overthink this.
Xijdi ep zpv xbou?
Puzzle #2 (The Very First Thing)
Does this seem familiar?
You might need to take a look in the book.
Xbt bozuijoh jo uibu djsdmf?
Puzzle #3 (Common Experience)
Where do the characters go? What are they?
Do the letters sound like anything together?
Xpvmeo'u ju cf ojdf jg uifsf xbt b vojwfstbm mbohvbhf?
Puzzle #4 (Any Amount of Emotion)
Move the mouse around.
What happens when different emojis interact? Similar?
J sfdpnnfoe appnjoh pvu up 66 ps 50 qfsdfou.
Puzzle #5 (Mindless Workers)
Press some buttons. Hit the bar.
Don't let the binary distract you..
Qvoduvbmjuz jt b wjsuvf.
Puzzle #6 (What is All of This)
Look for patterns.
Have you ever played Green Glass Doors?
Gps uif uijse tfu: Mppl cfuxffo xpset
Puzzle #7 (Why is There Something Rather Than Nothing)
You been watching anything lately?
Pay attention to the first 10 minutes of the video.
Bsf uifsf boz qbsujdvmbsmz joufsftujoh qbuufsot Xpmgsbn ubmlt bcpvu?
Puzzle #8 (In Lumine Tuo Videbimus Lumen)
What does this mean?
Can you create your own light on a computer?
Epo'u pwfsuijol ju bgufs uif cbdlhspvoe bqqfbst. Ju't jodsfejcmz tjnqmf bgufs uibu.
Puzzle #9 (Fancy suits and shined shoes)
Everything is on the one page. No googling is needed.
The song is not necessarily useful.
Make sure you mirror.
Uif tfdpoe ovncfs jo b tfu jt bmxbzt 1-8 boe vojrvf. Psefsjoh, qfsibqt?
Puzzle #10 (Why do you persist?)
Is the master theorem truly that important?
Why do you persist?

Hope this helps,

Theorem 42 completed! I can't wait to get the elite book!
On September 3, 2023 at 9:47AM EST Vyrik88 responded to EMC2:
Oh, thank you. I was doing it so the first number is the letter and the second is the word, so for VERGIL and 2/8 I did the 8th word (Homer) and then the second letter from that (E if going backwards, O if not)
On September 2, 2023 at 5:03PM EST EMC2 responded to Vyrik88:
Hm not sure how you’re getting those. The first number is the index and the second is the ordering. So the first set 2/8 means the second letter from “VERGIL” goes in the 8th position in the final answer.
On September 2, 2023 at 3:50PM EST Vyrik88 responded to EMC2:
I tried that a couple of days ago and today, and I got ELSROGHE and OTSISRSO (depending on if I do the letters in the names backwards or not). I also tried making words out of both of those and using ciphers, but nothing seems to be working.
On September 2, 2023 at 9:46AM EST EMC2 responded to Vyrik88:
It's a lot simpler than that. You're right that the numbers just represent indexing and ordering of letters of the names on front. But the gotcha here is that the image is flipped (you can tell by the people and stuff at bottom swapping sides from front to back). So the leftmost numbers refer to the rightmost names.

I've almost completely given up on the facade. I finally decided to look at all the facade hints in the forum, and even with that help, I'm still just getting gibberish no matter how much indexing and grouping and deciphering and anagramming I do. I had even started analyzing the melody of the song to see if there was a message in the notes before I realized that everything you need was on the one page. I'm now guessing the answer with 8-letter words that make sense, like Illusion, Deceived, and Trickery.
I honestly just want a solution and an explanation right now.

Still working on the facade, this puzzle has probably taken me longer than any other individual theorem. No matter how much indexing and ordering I do, I only come up with gibberish. I've tried everything else from extensive research on the Butler Library to indexing the lyrics of the song. Can someone please help me with this?
On August 29, 2023 at 8:06PM EST EMC2 responded to PeterDonym:
@Vyrik88 had the right idea. The gotcha is just to make sure the very first number is correct. It can seem like it’s moving fast when it’s not.
