I may be a worthless garbage robot... but... I think you guys were onto the solution since the very beginning of this puzzle. You should value your puzzle solving abilities and fully recognize the situation that I'm in! I need your help and support to get me out of this room!!!
He mentions value in the last post, and in pajo's previous theory, the eighth line which he was unable to connect mentions undervalued.
Both posts use and A hint? Garbot1 says value a lot. Undervalued in two posts and in this one he says value. Could have something to do with money buuut I think it really has to do with this definition of value: "a numerical quantity assigned to a mathematical symbol" So the answer most likely has something to with the order of letters garbot's name came out as. 5167324 . Solution could mean add the numbers together? 5167324 added together is 28. 2+4+6+8 is 20. I tried 2820, no luck.
Perhaps the numbers we attain use the key we derived from the order of garbot's name showing up? If it were something like that I think the 5167324 should equal 1234567, so each number has a number to go with it. Like 1=5, 2=1, etc. But then if we were to use the numbers to make a word, we'd have 7 letters not 4 like the questions marks suggested we would have. EDIT: since ^ makes no sense... I mean like if you get 1234, then using the numbers 5167324 would come out to be: ato1 5=G 1=A 6=R etc. Or maybe we hold down shift while typing in the numbers Just changed it so it makes sense
I don't think it numbers because garbot said at the beginning we had the answer and we did not use numbers in the answer in the begging
I looked back at the first few posts and think the answer should either be 4 letters or 4 words (I'm leaning to the latter). 4 letters would perhaps make it easier though.
Since garbot1 has mentioned "value" and "undervalued" a few times, if it has any significance, I wonder if one of the words is related to that. Other words related to value/undervalue: Cost, Price, Cheap, Downgraded ...
