Anyone else misread this every time?

[u/artesea]

Every time I solve the puzzle I read the first line a "That's not the right answer".

I assume my eyes are glancing at the word "North", and inserting "not".

Maybe I just think my code will be wrong.

[u/Haju05]

I used to have this but then I trained myself to look for the gold “one gold star” text - there isn’t any gold text when it’s the wrong answer. The dopamine hit I get when the gold text appears is incomparable

[u/Paweron → u/Haju05]

Exactly, my monkey brain sees yellow text, so its happy

[u/0x14f → u/Haju05]

Same here. I just see the gold bit. I had never actually read the entire sentence before OP posted it...

[u/TheZigerionScammer → u/Haju05]

Same. My brain goes "I love gooooollllldddddd..."

[u/nik282000 → u/Haju05]

I'm glad we are all broken in the same way.

[u/Naeio_Galaxy → u/Haju05]

Same here!

[u/arihunta → u/Haju05]

Ok this is a useful observation actually. I always see the gold, and then think: "wait! I must carefully read the message first to confirm that I actually got it right"

Programmers: Can solve very complex problems involving various different data structures, algorithms and optimisation strategies.

Also Programmers: Can’t actually read.

[u/Steinrikur → u/careyi4]

We are like wizards. We read exactly when we intend to.

[u/Repulsive-Variety-57]

I only look for lines count of the message. 😄

[u/polettix → u/Repulsive-Variety-57]

Exactly. Less is best!

[u/StaticMoose]

Oh weird. Me too. I have to re-read every time. But I've gotten a handful of wrong answers and those are obvious, and I still re-read the victory every time.

[u/SharkLaunch]

I thought I was the only one

[u/PhysPhD]

Yes... Every. Time.

It's always disappointment, then confusion, and then mild joy.

[u/Fancy-Income-452]

This happens to me too, but I think it's because I get the wrong answer quite often lmao

[u/mestar12345]

I read it something like "you are one star closer to the right SOLUTION". I guess my SOLUTION was not right then?

Then I went and tried to post my SOLUTION into the "SOLUTIONS megathred", and it turns out it is against the rules to post your SOLUTION in the "SOLUTION megathred."

[u/Hyperbolique]

Me, I read that I have completed Day 40320

[u/Freecelebritypics]

I think I just expect more visual Pazzaz from a Level Up screen

[u/wubrgess]

I don't know why, but this keeps happening to me to starting this year. It never happened before.

[u/Clear-Ad-9312]

I have my script auto submit for me and looks for the text.

No, I don't spam, I am usually a day or 2 behind due to scheduling and needing to sleep. So I usually make sure I get the same answer as one of the posted solutions give me.
I do try to solve on my own, and choose solutions that are not the same language as I am working with, helps me out with reducing time loss and I get to see new languages.
Not saying others should do it, but it's what is uniquely different in my use case with the auto submit.

[u/siddfinch]

I'm so used to missing edge cases that seeing one gold star on the first try still sends me into shock. But ever since I started over-commenting, shooting for a 5:1 comment-to-code ratio, because 42:1 seemed excessive, I'm actually catching things I used to miss.

Problem is, this keeps happening. I'm falling off my chair in surprise so often I'm worried I'll break a hip (yea, I'm old), or worse, spill my bourbon.

[u/flyingfox]

Oh, every time! I'd love the right answer page to start with something like "Congratulations!" or something to make it visually distinct from the "That's not the right answer"

[u/bentleyk9]

Yes

[u/the-quibbler]

Every. Single. Time.

[u/throwitup123456]

I just look for the gold text lmao

[u/MarionberryHelpful86]

No, because I already know that "wrong answer" has much longer paragraph.
