>"The lethal puzzle is a generator, and any rule can ask for it. The ad rule is one caller. While we were testing it live on iPhone, a second caller fired on camera: PersonalMarginBreakTrait. Once you’re 10% past your high score, it rolls on every deal, and 20% of the time it asks for the same lethal puzzle:

Our record was 1,304, so its line was 1,434. At 3,356 points it rolled, and the game dealt a five-long bar, a five-tall bar and a zigzag. The game’s own record of that deal names this rule as the caller, shows algorithm 9 both requested and used, and labels all three pieces 致死题, lethal puzzle."

I love it!

From a linguistic "this one takes the cake in terms of strange terminology" strange terminology, this one takes the cake!

I could see this becoming a meme on the Internet... just like "pwned" (misspelling of "owned") was a long time ago...

I almost want to write a sitcom episode around it... something like "you've been playing this game too long... so now you get a "lethal puzzle!"..." :-). Classic! :-)

Anyway, very interesting article!
