      Especially when he says "Maybe you have to do it in a certain order." then almost does the only order he hasn't tried yet, stops, and does the one he already did twice before.

    A solid "Heeey Everybody."
    10 minutes of rambling about self improvement and continuing to learn, possibly with obscure C or java reference
    5 minutes of Canadian hockey talk
    5 minutes of furry son chaos
    10 minutes of random pop trivia talk and mid 2000s music minutia
    10 minutes of daily anecdotes and thoughts on what's happening on twitter
    5 minutes something something something Dan, yada yada Malf
    5 minutes of back in my day, or the thoughts on the relative merits of college education and Biology degrees in general
    5 minutes of iced coffee, home cooking kits, and updates on the weather in Toronto, and Canadian history or politics.
    5 minutes of "Look it Up Sweetheart" and "Heeeee's done it.", with occasional mad cackle
    Guaranteed Millenial Zen.

    NL the 2 times you gave up you were so close to a soluction! Obviously the difference between the pillars were that the ones with square changes the color, and the ones without it need the color but cannot change it, it was supposed to teach you that. And the one previous to that you were missing one loop to be able to activate the one you were missing, and after that you could then activate the others and come back through the activated door and then the exit. Fun Northernlion Tries though.
