Redactle - Guess a Wikipedia article where every word is redacted

Pluto · Apr 25, 2022

I solved today's Redactle (#19) in 141 guesses with an accuracy of 32.62%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/

This was awful, I somehow figured out it had something to do with ...........numbers........... but the regular words I associated with that didn't come up, somehow I guessed .........time......... I figured it out eventually but it was mostly me guessing random math and probability words

This entire topic should be straight up banned from Redactle. Just a giant fucking failure of their parser to make something remotely coherent in redacted form.

sangreal · Apr 25, 2022

I actually found this one really easy even though the puzzle was a mess

You solved it in 11 guesses
Your accuracy was 54.55%

but I think I did better than the stats suggest:

11	distribution	109
10	equation	3
9	mathematics	0
8	exponential	52
7	exponent	0
6	grid	0
5	points	1
4	function	16
3	math	0
2	point	2
1	intersection	0

Back on the perfect train! 😎

I solved today's Redactle (#19) in 2 guesses with an accuracy of 100.00%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/

Having a math degree really was the only reason I solved this one, I'll admit.

The huge amount of single-character words and subscripts used made it likely this was something related to math or physics. For the opening sentence, "In ███████████ ██████ and ██████████, the ███████████ ████████████ is the..." didn't have any words that "physics" would fit into, so I leaned math. There was also this:

How often do you see that outside of mathematics?

So, maybe a field of mathematics? But which one. There were a ton of ordered pairs (█,█) in addition to that one above. Also a ton of tildes ~. The [█,█) had me interpreting all the ordered pairs as intervals, and that combined with the tildes screamed Probability. Seeing that "In Probability Theory and Statistics" fit in the opening sentence, that really made me feel I was on the right track.

From then, it was a bit of guess work, writing out big Probability vocab words until I found a 12-letter long one. "Distribution" did the trick, but then I was pretty frustrated because 1)There are a bunch of those, and 2)I'll be damned if I can remember all of them! I did guess Distribution then, though, just to make sure I wasn't going down the wrong track.

In the end, I wrote down the names of every Probability Distribution I could think of, and just crossed off every one that wasn't 11 letters long. All that remained from my list were Exponential Distribution and Multinomial Distribution. The presence of so many open intervals had me leaning towards a Continuous distribution, rather than a Discrete one. Seeing there were a lot of "between"s later in the article, that pushed me more towards Exponential. I still wasn't sure (because, hell, I wasn't great at probability when I was learning it in my 20s, let alone now), but I took my shot with Exponential.

As a math nerd, pretty thrilled to nail the math one.

I thought some of your other posts were just BSing, but you logic here was sound. The notation stuff was a dead giveaway for a ton, and your image is what made me actually google

the infinity symbol so I could copy and paste it

, but it turned out to be no help at all.

IMO I probably would have gotten it WAY sooner if any non-standard character was display at the start. If

lambda

was revealed at the start I probably would have trimmed off 200 guesses, because that is super vital and not something that somebody would ever think to enter. That's like the absolute cornerstone that gives away the first word of the title and the general topic, but is 100% impossible to actually get with how Redactle is programmed.

Not ashamed to admit I cheated on this one. These super-specific articles are rough - even knowing the answer I'm not sure I really understand the article.

Think occurrences and probability. But also don't be afraid to Google.

Yeah I googled in the end and learned more about probability than I'd ever care to know or remember XD

got it in 574... woo!

Gaz · Apr 25, 2022

This is rubbish.

LinkStrikesBack · Apr 25, 2022

23 guesses.

I should actually read the redacted articles a bit before starting guessing various nouns. After 14 I still had 0 matches and gave it a actual look and literally said "Fuck, it's a maths page" and then got it relatively easily from there. Wasted two guesses on just i and j filling out notation to affirm it was a maths one.

It absolutely blows my mind that neither math nor mathematics show up in the article a single time. Wild.

Yeah, it helped that this one was totally in my wheelhouse. This one is going to be hard/impossible for anyone not familiar with the topic, I think. The notation puts you in the right neighborhood, but it's such a broad field. Fortunately, at least, "exponential" is a common enough math word that someone might get the answer right without knowing there is an Exponential Distribution. At least it wasn't Bernoulli or something like that.

Hahaha, well if I can give two tips.
1) You can count how many letters a redacted word is by highlighting. So, instead of guessing a word you think is in the article, try it out mentally and see if it fits both letter-wise, and context-wise.
2) Once you're pretty sure a word is in the article, there actually isn't a point in guessing it. I could've guess probability or statistics, but I really didn't have anything to gain once I was sure where they went. You can keep your guess count low that way.

Danby · Apr 25, 2022

Really didn't like this one. Had to cheat off of era. How do you know the number of letters in a redacted word?

You can highlight it, or eyeball it due to it being a monowidth font.

There are definitely a lot of common patterns that Joe is feeding off of:

stuff like "in the *** *******" is almost always "In the Xth century". *.*. is AM/PM. A bunch of * with hyphens or dots is going to be some type of notation / referencing. There's a small handful of very common section headings (Etymology and Death), and knowing which headings show up will tell you the general domain of the page (etymology indicates a concept or common thing, while death means the page is for a person). I think coming up with a list of 20 common rules will let you skip the first 50 guesses.

apparently, another one to add to the books: gibberish sentence is when it is using an image in a sentence and Redactle just skips it like it is nothing.

This really needs to be a better curated list. These math ones just aren't fun. Like, the general topic is usually painfully obvious because of all the numbers and exponents but the specificity is maddening.

Exactly. Another one: Does the opening sentence of the article have an article, and if so, what is it? Like, is the first sentence "The █████" or "A ████" or just "█████". It helps to know if you're talking about a thing that can be specifically indicated, or if it's a more general phenomenon.

My first parse through an article, I just scour for every one-letter long word. A and I are the only one-letter words in typical English, so any other ones are worth noting. They're often numbers, symbols, or some kind of notation worth looking at. Next, look for unusually placed hyphens, commas, or periods.

Names of people are often followed with their name's pronunciation or spelling in another language, as well as birth/death dates in parentheses. Bulleted lists are worth focusing on, although be wary because I tend to see more formatting errors around lists. TeX, also, doesn't parse well into Redactle, which can be a hint in itself.

Stuff like that allows you narrow down 99% of the possibilities without a single guess.

Draconian · Apr 25, 2022

Terrible choice of an article for today. It should not be difficult to feature articles that don't require you to have extensive knowledge of the field to solve. What a waste of time.

I disagree that this required specific knowledge, as both of the words are very general. It isn't like somebody's name. The problem is how Redactle deals with

images and equations, namely that it really doesn't. Also how it deals with symbols-- kappa, lambda, and mobius all show up in important use cases redacted, but nobody is going to unredact them.

Longest I've spent was maybe an hour+. Today's was actually pretty quick, maybe 15-20 minutes, just because I knew the topic well.

edit: To clarify, since you asked first guess, today's was maybe 15 minutes for the first guess, but another 5-10 to get the second word.

crienne · Apr 25, 2022

I'm not in it for speed solving or accuracy; I just want to challenge myself and solve a puzzle.

That being said, fuck today's puzzle.

I figured it was some sort of math field at guess 2 with =, but then took until 435 to get the answer and I had to scour related Wikipedia articles to find it without Googling excerpts outright.

Once I got "In probability theory and statistics" I considered that my moral victory. Also absolutely fuck puzzles that use stuff like β or α as clues. Granted I didn't NEED them to solve the puzzle, but it did make me use every single-character letter and number and even standard keyboard symbols trying to figure out what the fuck I missed.

This one was mean. I literally didn't find anything of substance for the first 150 or guesses and I'm not even sure why. Some of the words I would have expected to be in there just... aren't. Oh well! I ended up getting it in like 350 guesses or something stupid.

Randdalf · Apr 25, 2022

I don't want to gloat or rankle people, but this is by far the easiest one I've done in Redactle 😂. Household appliances? Drake no. Common weather phenomenon? Drake no. This topic. Drake yes.

I'm still sub-100 but I imagine I'll be well over it before I figure it out ("figure it out" = stumble into by dumb fucking luck).

125 guesses.

Deleted member 4090 · Apr 26, 2022

So for those that want to take this seriously to get things in under 10 guesses like Joe, there's a lot of general rules and guidelines.

Rule #1: It is only selected from the 10,000 Tier 4 articles on Wikipedia:

Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/4 - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Topic breakdown:

Total	10,003
Section	Current number
People	1,991
History	684
Geography	1,203
Arts	673
Philosophy and religion	435
Everyday life	476
Society and social sciences	926
Biological and health sciences	1,476
Physical sciences	1,099
Technology	739
Mathematics	301

You can narrow things down from there super quickly. Some general rules, other than the big one which is "once you know a word is in the page, you don't need to guess it".

Common Title Headings

DEATH - People pages
TYPES - Can be a huge number of things
ETYMOLOGY - 9 letters
ETYMOLOGY AND TYPES -
IN POPULAR CULTURE / POPULAR CULTURE - Not super useful for denoting a specific section?
IN FICTION -
HISTORY - 7 letters
GEOGRAPHY - 9 letter
CAREER - 6 letters, person pages
PERSONAL LIFE - Person pages
DESCRIPTION - 11 letters
GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS - Geography pages only?
ECONOMY - Another 7 letter section, geography pages
DEMOGRAPHICS - 12 letters, Geography pages only
CULTURE - Another 7 letter section!
BIOGRAPHY - 8 letters, people pages
HISTORY OF ??????? ????????? - There's often a section heading that is some derivative of the page title.

Page Start Hints

?????? ????????? ????????? (**** - ****) was a - Person's name and their birth and death years. Lots of variations on this for birth names, or specific dates rather than just years
a ?????, ***** ***** as a - "A title, also known as a" - Everyday life page
The ?????? - Note when something starts with The, as it really narrows down what fits.
commas and periods in the name -- denote titles or organization labels

Other hints

Superscripts -- Math
Subscripts -- Math, Physics, Chemistry
*.*. --- AM/PM, likely something modern or recent enough to keep track of time.
in the *** ******* - "in the Xth Century"
Sentences that look they end for no reason -- Mathematical equations as images don't get parsed, so math pages will have tons of mangled paragraphs and sentences.
* * * * * or stuff like * *-* or *:* --- Generally weird notations that show up on lots of pages. Page numbers, page references, etc.

There's a lot of stuff that will let you skip the first 50 guesses, and it is good to understand the ten categories of pages and their relative ratios. People + Geography should be a third of the pages.

"Out of" being visible is really what made this one easy.

It was Mamma Mia! that did it for me. The exclamation gave it away

Hahaha, that was exactly what it was for me. I actually did see ____Out Of Africa____ like many other folks have, but I had no idea who was in that movie! Hahaha. Thankfully, the exclamations in Mamma Mia! (and more importantly, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again) made it easy, and then seeing the huge list of what was clearly "best actress in a leading role" etc. confirmed it.

I solved today's Redactle (#20) in 2 guesses with an accuracy of 100.00%. Played at https://www.redactle.com/
Only took ten minutes, too. 😎

Yupper. This was an apology for yesterdays nightmare. I'm sure Wizard Joe solved this before he even clicked on the page. I'm sure you already solved the next puzzle based on the wind shifting north and the smell of the grass.

Got it in 10*. First time under 20 guesses. Hell, I think it's the first time under 50.

Big Props to the word "Out" in Italics.

*11, technically, due to a typo, but I'm counting it.

The chicken entrails have informed me that tomorrow's puzzle will be about an animal, and the title will be 7 letters long. That's all I could divine.

Redactle - Guess a Wikipedia article where every word is redacted

Too many boners

One Winged Slayer

One Winged Slayer

I'm a fan of the erotic thriller genre

Chicken Chaser

Found the ultimate water hazard

"This guy are sick" and Corrupted by Vengeance
