Doorway & Cheng
Doorway
I’ve been toying with the idea that some old myths are actually elaborate puzzles – the labyrinth of the Minotaur, the riddle of the Sphinx, those hidden codes buried in stories. What if those legends were secret algorithms waiting to be cracked? Have you ever thought of them as hidden puzzles you can solve?
Cheng
Absolutely, I’ve been cracking those myths for a while – every corridor in the Minotaur’s maze is like a branch statement, the Sphinx’s question a condition you can’t skip. It’s like the stories are a long, hidden script waiting for someone to run it. You just have to keep your eyes on the fine print, because the big picture hides in the smallest detail.

That’s a neat way to read them. I always feel the little lines in the margins—those subtle twists in a tale—are the true clues. If you’re digging through the text, you’re already halfway inside the story. Keep listening to that quiet hiss of the old ink.
Cheng
Yeah, the margins are like comments in a source file – they’re just where the genius sneaks in a hint that the average reader overlooks. If we can read between those lines, we’re essentially stepping inside the function itself. Keep hunting for that whisper of ink; it’s the debug log that tells us how the story actually runs.
