    like i said before somewhere else.. if you are not native english speaker and you see that for first time, i really think most people will not understand what you need to do, after i translate it , its still difficult to understand in that time even its quite easy... my english is my 2nd foreign language but its easier to understand standard text but not this specific things i think its okay to use some chart, not just for people who cant do this math for people who just dont know what is that like me , try it if you learning some foreing language if you know what divide and multiplies are.. i am playing this game with am/pm time even im not okay with this 12hrs thing but putting some boss with this mechanic is just sad.. there is no logic in the first time like colors or something, its just knowledge thing i think

    Math looks like gibberish to me so any help I can get I'll take.

The chart and a list further down this thread is great, but are there other ways we could help? Instead of insulting others, are there other ways this may make sense to someone with a learning difficulty, or with a brain that just doesnt grasp math like other people? What else can we do?
    I've spent the whole thread offering a plethora of suggestions as to how someone with troubles could accomplish it easier.

    As far as flicking your eyes being "slow", the fight comes to a complete halt for 13+ seconds. So your DPS stops for a few seconds while you get the stuff you need to solve the puzzle. Better than dying, ne?

    There are other people in this thread and the community in general who are being kind of nasty to those who are struggling with the mechanic. It's great that you're trying to be helpful, but there's plenty who aren't.

    As someone with a learning Disability (ADD) I never did well with maths and although I can do this mechanic it takes longer that the 12 or so seconds. I either miss it or Just get there in time depending on what I am given.

    The community needs to realise on the other end of the character is a human being that could have a disability mental or physical and they WANT to try and if they are trying their best then we need to accept it and help in anyway we can without being d**KS to those actually TRYING.

    Embarrassing.
    This! So much....

    At least the math is simple enough~ I know some people might not find it simple, but imagine if they took our HP numbers as is? Then I could see a large merit for complaint lol divide 47801 by three.

    You have trouble adding 4+7+8+0+1 and seeing if that sum is divisible by 3?

    The Rule for 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3

    They missed an opportunity with third test which would be slightly harder, but optional. You pass you get better buff you fail you die, but you can opt not to go for it.

    While you can fairly quickly test for division by 3 4 or 5, knowing if your 47801 hp was a prime number or not isnt quite as easy.
    Its not. 47801 is the product of primes 3677 and 13.
    And while you can get to a multiple of 3 4 or 5 by adding no more then 4 to any given number, the gaps between primes are often larger.

    I am fairly certain that the majority of people playing the game (just like the majority of people in general) do not have dyscalculia, dyslexia or other issues. It's not even a "hurrdurr millenial" issue - the playerbase is just so used to being spoonfed strategies that they would rather use a cumbersome graph than do simple, first-grade addition.
