The Stellar Blade Simple Puzzle is an unusual math problem you can grab from the Bulletin Board early in the game. You've essentially got to enter the correct numerical passcode into a console in Xion, but figuring out this code from some bizarre number sequences isn't exactly easy - hardly "simple".
I don't blame anybody for being a little stumped by math when they thought they were getting a game about stabbing alien monsters in impractical clothing, and bear in mind that this isn't the only number-related puzzle in the game either. But, to help you out with this early-game conundrum, I've explained the solution to the Stellar Blade Simple Puzzle below.
How to solve the Simple Puzzle in Stellar Blade
The Stellar Blade Simple Puzzle answer is 304272, which should be entered at the console in Xion marked by the request itself. To explain in more detail, the Simple Puzzle itself is as follows:
4@7@8 = 285684
9@3@5 = 271542
6@2@7 = 121426
5@6@7 = ?
The idea is that each number in the pattern is a running together of two multiplications of the individual numbers, followed by a sum total of the resultant answers. So, for example, to get the solution of 4@7@8, you multiply 4 by 7 to get 28, and then 7 by 8 to get 56. That gives you most of the answer, and then, for the last two digits, you add the previous answers together - 28 plus 56 equal 84!
So, for the final answer, you multiply 5 by 6 to get 30, then 6 by 7 to get 42. Then you add those together for 72, and there's your answer: 30/42/72. Enter that into the console, then return back to the Bulletin Board to submit the request for 1000 Gold and 2 Vitcoins.
Later on, there'll be a follow-up request, with an even harder maths test. If you need help with that, our guide to the Stellar Blade wisdom puzzle will help you out.
