Not knowing the language is a problem which doesn't fully eliminate the issue, you're right, but it does eliminate the possibility of changing the written scriptures. As a result there will always be thinkers who can return to the original text and come to their own conclusions, challenging the prevailing thoughts of their region or era, something that has repeatedly occurred in Muslim history.

I was responding to the text I quoted, not the full post 🙄

The Koran and Torah yield similar results. I think that is the main reason why religions try, or have tried in the past, to restrict reading to a select few leaders and try to keep the propaganda to what they want it to mean at any given time in history.

Regarding the Koran, your statement is verifiably false. It was widely read and memorized by the masses so that a select few leaders couldn't control what they want it to mean.

 

It was an arbitrary goal to hit 1.5k, idk why. Started at the bottom now we here.

 
 
 

A tug (Mongolian: туг [tʰʊɡ], Turkish: tuğ, Ottoman Turkish: طوغ ṭuġ or توغ tuġ) or sulde (Mongolian: сүлд, Tibetan: བ་དན) is a pole with circularly arranged horsetail hairs of varying colors arranged at the top.

Amazing story 💫

Figured it out. Weirdly, knowing you solved it made me confident I could too, and I don't even know you 🤔

spoilerI focused on the anomaly ignoring the rest, tried to see what possible rules could lead to it, then went back to see which rule also applied to the "non-anomalous" numbers.

India is the official name. I think Bharat or Hindustan is commonly used tho as folks speak in their local languages instead of English typically. I could be wrong. Worth noting that Hindustan would basically translate to "India" or Land of the Indus River.

Morocco (al-Maghrib "The West"), India (Bharat named after a legendary king), China (Zhōngguó 中国 "Middle Country"). There are probably several more...

Thanks! I was hoping to make a 13x13 but it would require me to print the board in pieces, adding design complexity. I wanted to wrap up the project so I could move on to other things, so I'm sticking with the 9x9 for the foreseeable future.
