I actually picked up the Babbage Feed bit, but have no idea how the clues lead to punchcard being a solution.

Either these riddles are awful or there are more clues that we don't see? The "Froy" clue seems a red herring. The bit about something appearing holy (holey - full of holes) almost works...except there's too much cruft about seeing someting in a window. Maybe I just play too much of these games, but there's an art to writing clues balancing red herrings so that astute observers will at least not be completely flummoxed... and I don't think these writers have it...

Like the current clue...is the solver supposed to do some sort of construction on the bra-kets, or is the solver supposed to merely be lead in the direction Paul Dirac/sub-atomic particles/quantum mechanics?

Is there somewhere we can see the clues directly?


the clues could definitely be better written, but this is really just a freidnly game amongst people on the site, so I'll cut him some slack.

Finally solved the one posted in the OP. Each line can be converted to binary code and it spells out the answer to the next page.

The game was linked above for anyone who wants to give it a try.
