Um, wtf?

Lol, only got this one today in an ascension game.

On the subject of ascension, when I went in to it today I noticed 8m had been taken off the top- presumably the same 8 conundrums from the op. What happens if I've already solved some of the deleted ones, will the total just recalculate to what it should be and any valid ones I don't encounter show up in my next ascension run?

It's a trademark, I imagine they got an angry letter from Jacuzzi Inc.'s lawyers after the last edition.

You *should* get all the new ones in the current ascension. I'm not certain it'll work correctly because the code hasn't been tested very thoroughly for this case. Any you don't get this time will definitely show up in the next pass.

I hope this isn't too cheeky, but do you and Mike now have a list of all the changes (additions, omissions) between ODE2r and ODE3? This would be mightily useful information for certain people I might even re-subscribe...
