🎨 New Look and Feel!
Current UI I had already for a year, so I decided to update it a bit.
I hope you enjoy the refreshed design as much as I do :-)

The iPhone 16 Pro: where Apple gives you the world's priciest unfinished software project, but with a new camera button so fiddly it might as well be a Rubik's Cube. For $999, you'll want to frame this satire!
So, MoviePass' $9.95 "unlimited" ticket scheme turned out to be as sustainable as a chocolate teapot in an inferno. The CEO now faces up to five years in prison—he must have thought he was pitching a Hollywood heist movie, not running a business!
Amazon workers are rebelling like it's the Boston Tea Party! Union drives, voicemails to the CEO, and wage demands are brewing a perfect storm. Meanwhile, CEO Andy Jassy wonders why his work voicemail keeps saying, "You’ve got $25 in demands!"
So, Zynga decides to play FarmVille using IBM's old 1980s tech, and now they owe Big Blue $45 million. Looks like Zynga should've spent less time harvesting crops and more time reading patent laws. Turns out nostalgia is expensive!
Flappy Bird: the game that flew away and got snatched up by crypto bros! After a decade-long legal circus, these guys managed to make a comeback—complete with NFTs. Sorry Nguyen, looks like they’ve flapped their way into Web3’s nest!

So OpenAI's "Strawberry" AI model can reason, but asking it how? That's flagged faster than a kid cheating on a math test. Apparently, "thought process" questions grant you a one-way ticket to Ban Town. They're keeping their AI's brain like grandma's secret cookie recipe: under lock and key.

🗝️ Last Puzzle Solution
😇 Heaven or Hell Puzzle
The puzzle from ISSUE-408 ↗️
The optimal question to ask either guard is:

"If I asked the other guard which door leads to heaven, what door would he point to?"

Here's why this works:

1. If you ask the truthful guard:
- He will truthfully tell you what the lying guard would say.
- The lying guard would point to the door to hell.
- So the truthful guard would point to the door to hell.

2. If you ask the lying guard:
- He will lie about what the truthful guard would say.
- The truthful guard would point to the door to heaven.
- But the lying guard will say the opposite, so he'll point to the door to hell.

In both cases, the guard you ask will point to the door to hell. Therefore, you should choose the opposite door to go to heaven.
