I thought I made a breakthrough and got through a few puzzles, but now I’m stuck on what is all of this and all I can see is that no matter what I put, the second one is always wrong

Oh, also: The text M gives is rarely ever useful. You can get past all of the puzzles without having to read any of it. I notice you seem to be focusing WAY too hard on it - all the clues you need to solve the puzzles are inside the puzzles themselves.

That puzzle is called "The very first thing." So, through your journey in The Master Theorem's puzzles, what was the very first thing?

I'll bite (again.) Any hints for solving the notepad paper puzzle? Given the new text, I've tried things like instinct, breathe, live, think, as well as a few profanities for good measure. :) Given the notepad paper with red circle I've tried things like name, my name, to-do, and list, among other options.

I have decided to give random hints for the puzzles I often see people stuck on:
Red pill/blue pill: This isn't really a puzzle. You just "take the red pill."
Mindless workers: Timing is key. Also, note that when you press a button, its output changes from 0 to 1.
Why is there something rather than nothing: The board of letters shuffles every time you refresh the page. Well, MOST of the board of letters, at least.

Based on what I'm seeing here (and my personal experience) I think that applies to everyone.

What “very first thing” do you recall looks like that paper? What is the red circle circling there?

Those are better guesses than what I was putting in at first. Glad I could help!

My goodness. Duh! I had been putting in things like Neo, Morpheus, Matrix, and White rabbit. Thanks!

According to the red pill, blue pill page how do you discover more than what you know?

Hi fellow solvers! I've been working my way through puzzle 42, and I think I've gotten pretty far, but now I'm stumped on the facade puzzle. I've already flipped the image and considered whether the flipping meant the numbers that replace the names are mirrored, but I can't find any significance in the numbers anyplace in the book or the broader internet. I really didn't want to reach out for help on this one, but I'm pretty sure I'm truly stumped here.
Help a puzzler out?

nevermind to my nevermind to my nevermind to my nevermind i finished it and it's finally done and it will no longer haunt me at night and this was incredibly difficult but i did it and now i can finally rest knowing that i have solved all 42 theorems in order and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA also i had some help so

nevermind to my nevermind i got stuck again on the third part of the "what is all of this" screen (there is something but no nothing) and can't figure out the pattern. I know there is one because that's the point of the "what is all of this" puzzle but i can't figure it out

Keep failing until M asks what the Master Theorem is. The words "the master theorem" will be a link to a website that contains most of the theorem's puzzles.
