| Aug 17, 2023 at 12:27 | comment | added | The Amateur Coder | The bounty is about to expire, and I don't want to miss giving it to you. You just have to solve and get the correct values. And even a 15-year-old can solve it, so I wouldn't consider that the most important part of the puzzle. Try to get the correct values as soon as possible, and if you have any doubts, ping me with the equations you got. I'll help you with that part ;) | |
| Aug 13, 2023 at 16:54 | comment | added | new Q Open Wid | @TheAmateurCoder Well, they'll wait for at least a few hours because I can only figure out B's value and I somehow got a contradiction lol. I have to resolve it soon - I was trying to solve a different problem but some greedy person just straight up sniped it. smh | |

Again, try getting the values by solving the equations using known data (purely maths). A and B are waiting for you to update your answer with the correct values ;)

Yes, but you should use a slightly different approach to find the correct values. And you should not assume anything that's reasonably unrelated to the question (sorry, the dots aren't related to Morse code at all). It means (a - b - c); mostly, the outer parentheses are normal. The 'final value of A' is the value of A when A becomes smaller after B bites it. You just have to get the correct values.

| Aug 12, 2023 at 21:07 | comment | added | new Q Open Wid | @TheAmateurCoder Quick question: is my mathematical approach correct? Oh and I think I'm confused about the brackets when B swallowed a bit of A. What does 'final value of A' mean? And do the brackets mean (a - (b + c)) => a - b - c or (a - b + c) => a - b + c? | |

Almost correct! But B couldn't have thrown poisonous dots from itself because it would then contradict the fact that its teeth didn't merge with A ;) B` was so selfish that the poisonous dots he threw were decimal points floating in the air (not from his own body)--wait, you did it right. Sorry, but you went wrong somewhere. And no, the Morse code assumption is not required. I remember I'd tried checking if the question is solvable mathematically (with the necessary deductions, not assumptions), and I rechecked now; no errors. Try solving the equations using known data--you came close.
