So zetta slow.
The answer is
5123456789123456
So yeah, Iām out again, I have no idea, especially because the whole angle approach seems to be wrong anyway because of that 01 - 00 thing.
One thing Iām curious, though: Is the meaning of the s hinted at anywhere else or is the s the only thing we get? Furthermore, would the correct approach make the meaning of the s obvious?
Right now I have the feeling that the answer to the first question is āThe latter.ā and the answer to the second question be āNo.ā, and that just isnāt even fun.
Ok let me try again

Itās not either of those.
In my opinion the correct approach would make the meaning of s obvious.
In addition, a minor hint.
I could reconstruct this puzzle with a different random number as the answer (as long as it didnāt include any zeroes) and I would only have to change the hyphenated number on the wall.
I tried something like this idk if its right or wrong, Iām stupid

i just noticed, picto described this puzzle as cute
trapping people in the room is not cute!
We need a color for user questionsā¦
Did someone say colored text?
[color=pink]**Did someone say colored text?**[/color]
That pink is so ugly tho.
This is a better pink.

I suppose it does look quite good, but when they are held side by sideā¦
Hm. I suppose your one does look a little bit more Umineko. Iāll leave it up to @Aspirety and @technololigy to decideā¦

So I guess all I can think of is that the starting position is 5, the middle of the set of dials, and the numbers in the sequence are supposed to make us move from that to other points in it. So the 5 (which lacks a zero) is the starting point, which fits with it being the first number on the answer, and what comes after is in a way or another numbers that determines the movement from that point to another point.
And 00 probably refers to staying in place, thus pressing the ālast dialā another time.
And I canāt think much more than s referring to a a negativeā¦
ā¦ the only other thing I have in mind that I have no idea what to work out with and is probably entirely off is that 16 is 4 to the power of 2 and 9 is 3 to the power of 2, so perhaps some sort of conversion but I have no idea how to even approach thatā¦
Otherwise the idea of degrees/angles bought up earlier sounds decent enoughā¦ but Iām not sure what to make out of it.
I guess I should read that tau manifesto thing.
Skimmed through the Tau Manifesto, didnāt seem to include anything useful other than the definition of tau we already knew, which was tau=2*pi. There was a figure number 16 there, but it appears irrelevant.
So, we know what tau is. What eludes me is what āsomething over sixteenā is supposed to mean. The phrase itself does nothing to me, and neither can I think of anything that should be over sixteen, or why the number is sixteen in the first place. The angle idea sounded reasonable at first, but it appears itās a dud, so Iāve got nothing.
Hmmā¦
All that comes to mind is pretty visual.
X
16
A fraction expressed that way where X is āsomething over 16ā (literally).
Yes it does refer to a fraction with 16 as the denominator.
So basically the numbers are fractionsā¦
Or at the least, it could be said that the numbers are part of a maximal value of 16 as I said earlier.
Now I dunno if that maximum value is 15 (00 to 15) or 16 (meaning the 00 is an extraā¦) but itās a start.
Iām going to assume option B for now.
Hmmm so I guess for instance if I had a ācodeā that made me move from 5 to 7 (meaning southwest), a possible of the āsā would be the same thing going from 3 to 7 instead (meaning doing it twice, thus āsā as plural).
Thatās not the only thought in mind but Iāll keep that in mind for now.
Now the problem is more that there are 16 possibilities (or perhaps 17 technically) but there are only really 8 normal cardinal moves possible from the optimal point, being the centerā¦

Here goes nothing.
No.
