Notes
The input and output strings of this puzzle are not modifiable in-game, but you can use a third-party site, such as https://kotritrona.github.io/opusmagnum-puzzle-editor/ompuzzle.htmlThis is a computation puzzle; Your task is to compute one iteration of the Look-And-Say sequence on the input string, treating lead as 1, tin as 2, ...... gold as 6.
For example:
- Input string Gold-Silver is first translated as 65, then read as "one 6, one 5", then translated to Lead-Gold-Lead-Silver
- Input string Lead-Lead-Lead-Tin-Tin-Lead is first translated to 111221, then read as "three 1s, two 2s, one 1", then translated to Iron-Lead-Tin-Tin-Lead-Lead
Output String has variable length; the rotation axis is the first element, and is fixed in case its length changes.
The solve does not have to loop for it to be valid.
"Batching" is not allowed; Your machine needs to assume the inputs are different each pull.
The longest possible output is length 12. Accidental overlaps due to changing output length is also not allowed.
Dropping any molecule that fits completely inside the output on the output is not allowed, if it is not output (no output conditionals). Think it as a linear conduit of length 12.
