DnD party will still completely ignore the code
Two major kinds of DnD puzzles:
The sort of thing in the image. Dummy simple, party still somehow gets it entirely wrong because the DM offhandedly mentioned a goose 30 minutes ago which was definitely a hint.
An insanely complex puzzle that the players are realistically not going to be able to solve, so the DM is just going to let them try shit for a half hour until he finally says, "yeah that works."
And then there's a mythical third kind where it's actually a good puzzle. idk I don't think they're real.
Fourth Type: the DM got it from the internet, doesn't notice it has a logical or factual error, and then insists the player solutions don't work because that's not what the paper reads.
"One of these gate guards speaks only truths!
"The other, only lies!"
Party: "We shoot them both with crossbows"
DM: paper shuffling sounds
DM: "Magical shield!"
Party: "Magical shield?"
DM: "Magical shiiiiieeld!"
