The other thing is that Rushyrulz is our winner at figuring out the weakness of the boss, even though he thought he didn't get it because he messed up basic addition and thought he didn't get it.

Step 1 - Convert the song title into numbers A=1, B=2 etc
Step 2 - Sum the numbers
Step 3 - Express the sum modulo 15

I inadvertently described mod 15 as making numbers from 0-15 instead of 'making 15 numbers' which means counting 0 as a number so it's actually 0-14, meaning the max multiplier is actually x15 not x16 but since nobody until Rushy was doing anything with modulo, and he was actually doing mod15 anyway, and I don't think anybody said anything to imply they were working backwards from "specifically gives results of 0-15" I -HOPE- I didn't make anybody just smash something in rage.

Completely straight up no bullshitting, I tried EXACTLY this last night thinking some sort of modulus needed to be used in order to ensure that multiplier range, but I used mod 16 given the range that was established and....clearly that didn't work.

I hadn't been very vocal about my thought process in the thread, I'm aware, but this is basically the first thing I tried after coming back here and looking at all the new data + hints. (and then spent the better portion of an hour using mod 16 in combination with some stats that hadn't been considered on the spreadsheet TSR posted)

So yeah, I'm long past any point in my life where I'm smashing things in rage, but I'm that guy lol.
