visual - Let us all join the party for hope!


The students at Hope's Peak Academy decided to throw a party to have some thrills and chills (and let's stop there, please!)


They played all sorts of games with each other, and now it's time for the final game of the night. But they suddenly realized they should go get something before they can play it! Can you help them figure out what's missing?


I tried to make sure you do not need to know anything about Danganronpa to solve this puzzle. If you haven't played it, please don't go around looking for spoilers!



For the Ultimate Nurse, treating diseases across the world is a dream come true, as unbelievable as that might seem!

Certainly an Ultimate Writing Prodigy has to have a good way with words... Personal hygiene might not be that great, however.

Who needs skill when you can win on luck alone? A game that even a shell of a human being like me can play, this is so amazing!

Frequently, an Ultimate Programmer's pastime is to write programs in impractical ways. Don't ask me what there is to gain from this...

Transcription of the code, tidied up a bit for clarity:


def t(n):
z=n
a = 2
while a < n:
if t(a)>=a:
if n%a==0:
z = z//t(a)
z = z*(t(a)-1)
a = a + 1

return min(z+1,n)

A = [32454231040,4184539975,23863668400,13599995200,
149433277140,43650078336,98138249440]

for x in A:
a = 5
b = t(x)
i = 0
while i < x:

a,b = b,a+b
i = i + 1
b = b % 26
print chr(ord('a')+b),

Hint for 1 and 6:




They played all sorts of games in this party. What games could Tsumiki and Komaeda be playing?

(The game in 6 is commonly played with a different instrument for randomization, but a die works as well.)




Answer





This is a list of first letters of cities in Pandemic, a board game in which you cure diseases around the world. Draw the paths:
enter image description here
That gives the answer NO WAY.






Only some of the small segments are actually in the picture. Shade in the ones that are:
enter image description here
This is a QR code scanning to the answer, GIZMO.





There is a unique best way to make a 5-card poker hand by adding another card. Those cards are:
3♥ (creating a straight flush, 2♥ 3♥ 4♥ 5♥ 6♥)
A♠ (creating a flush, 4♠ 6♠ 7♠ 9♠ A♠)

A♣ (creating a flush, 2♣ 3♣ 6♣ K♣ A♣)
5♠ (creating a four-of-a-kind, 5♣ 5♥ 5♠ 5♦ 7♦)
6♦ (creating a four-of-a-kind, 6♠ 6♥ 6♣ 6♦ 8♥)
5♥ (creating a straight flush, 3♥ 4♥ 5♥ 6♥ 7♥)

Index into the suits by the card numbers (where ace is 1) to get ASCENT.





Each of these people or characters has a name with a Japanese number in it.
Mion Mukaichi, Nico Yazawa / Minami Nitta : 12/2 = 6
Minami Minegishi, Maki Goto / Ayame Goriki : 45/5 = 9

Nana Okada, Eri Mizutani / Kashiwa Yukina : 72/4 = 18
Ai Kago, SONiKA / Mai Shiraishi : 52/4 = 13

Index into the alphabet and you get FIRM.





This is a game of Jotto: each word has two letters in common with the true answer. There's only one five-letter word that makes this work, and that's DIRTY.





Each set of dice is a transcript from a game of Chutes and Ladders, starting from the beginning. The ending squares for each set of moves are 8, 21, 19, and 11. Index into the alphabet to get HUSK.






This is a snippet of Python code. It takes forever to run, but when you analyse what it does, then implement that instead (as Wen1now did in chat), it prints out the answer: USUALLY.





All but the last one are spells from a character in Puyo Puyo, a Tetris-like game where colored pieces are fit into a grid. They disappear if at least four of them are adjacent, and then pieces above the hole fall down.

The arrow is an instruction for how to fill our answers into a 6×6 grid. Once we do that, we can associate colors to each letter (as given by the pangram), and "play out" the grid as it would evolve in Puyo Puyo.

Here's the result of that:

enter image description here
The remaining letters spell CHIAKI NANAMI, another Danganronpa character - the Ultimate Gamer.




Thanks to Sp3000 and Wen1now for helping solve large parts of this puzzle.
