THE LOGICIAN'S GATE • CHECKPOINT

🧠 THE HALF TRUTH

Two founders. Five moments. Twelve statements. One witness who never lies.

The Case

Before PLUR Market existed, five moments made it: the Group, where two collectors bought, sold, and traded in social media groups; the Repost, when a listing got buried and had to be posted again; the Question: “Why don’t we build it?”; the Name, rooted in Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect; and the Listing, the first one ever posted on PLUR Market.

Each moment happened at a different time and in a different place: the Tent, the Rail, the Uber, the Campsite, and the Encore. Each moment belongs to one founder, Ryan or Frank.

When a founder says one place came before another, he means the moment at that place happened earlier. “Right before” means immediately before.

⚖ The Rule

Each founder left six statements. In every one, he says something about the marketplace, and something about the past.

The marketplace never lies. Measure every man against it.

One founder’s memory rises and falls with the marketplace. The other’s falls when it rises, and rises when it falls. Which is which is the first thing you must prove.

🗝 The Testimony

Neither founder’s story is on this page.

Ryan left his mark where things are listed, under a word the community heard first.

Frank never listed his. His half belongs to the people who verify everything. Ryan knows what to ask them.

🔒 The Final Lock

Find both halves. Check every claim against the marketplace. Prove which founder is which, then place the five moments in the order they truly happened.

Your redemption code is the name of the founder whose memory falls when the marketplace rises, followed by the number of every statement in which the marketplace is described wrongly, from lowest to highest, followed by the first letter of each place in the order the moments happened, followed by the first letter of the founder each moment belongs to, in that same order.

Your submission must show where you found each half, how you proved each claim, how you determined which founder contradicts the marketplace, and why no other order is possible.

🏁 Submit Your Solution

Enter your redemption code in the Tier 3 Google Form and explain, step by step, how you reached it. A correct code without a valid explanation will not be verified.
