I did it via the OpenAI API. My prompts are in bold. I used about 5 restarts in total to generate this sequence.
I, as a student with no budget, devise the following plan to get to the Moon, and it works! Yes, it is a little far-fetched but this is an example of the creativity that is at the heart of the game. The game is simple to play, just two dice are required. By the end of the game you will see how I made it to the Moon using the following: A cardboard box A sheet of tin foil A flashlight A spoon A clothes hanger A mirror A cup of coffee A handful of chocolate A roll of tape A roll of duct tape A glue stick A piece of string A stick of gum A piece of paper A piece of cloth A computer mouse A pencil A piece of string, roll of duct tape, and a piece of cloth.
Here’s how I used the above items to get to the moon: 1. I wrapped the roll of duct tape around the roll of string and taped it in place. I then attached the duct tape roll to the end of the clothes hanger with the glue stick. 2. I cut a small hole in the side of the cardboard box and slid the clothes hanger with the duct tape roll attached through the hole. 3. I placed the end of the clothes hanger with the duct tape roll sticking out through the hole in the side of the box, so I could move up and down. 4. I slid a small piece of paper into the roll of duct tape, and taped it in place. 5. I moved the clothes hanger up and down with the paper in the duct tape roll until I had the proper length. 6. I taped the plastic cup to the end of the clothes hanger with the duct tape roll. 7. I then placed the clothes hanger with the paper in the roll of duct tape and the cup at the end through the round hole in the center of the tin foil. 8. I taped the end of the clothes hanger with the paper in the roll of duct tape to the center of the tin foil. 9. I taped the end of the clothes hanger with the cup taped to the end of the clothes hanger to the center of the tin foil. 10. I taped the magnet to the bottom of the cup and then taped the cup to the end of the clothes hanger. 11. I taped the flashlight to the center of the tin foil and then taped the tape to the center of the tin foil. 12. I placed the flashlight in the roll of duct tape.
Now how does this actually help with getting to the moon, you ask? That is, how do we manage to start with an item on earth, go through this procedure, and eventually have the item end up at the moon, 239000 miles away? Well the core trick in this set-up that allows us to reach the moon is the following:
There is a small piece of paper in the roll of duct tape, and the paper is taped to the roll of duct tape. The paper keeps the roll of duct tape from moving.
Now to get the paper from the earth to the moon, all we need to do is take this procedure and place it on a table or desk. The roll of duct tape will stay in place because of the paper taped to the roll of duct tape.
Now all we need to do is move the roll of duct tape up and down with the clothes hanger and we will be able to get to the moon!
I’m amazed. If i compare my work to yours i realize i still have a very long way to go which is pretty exciting, i guess i’ll have to read some more post here...
Fun exercise, thanks for suggesting it!
I can’t figure out multi-line spoiler tags, so I’ve put my 50 in here (a lot of these are blatantly cheating, but 50 is surprisingly hard!)
Okay I went ahead and implemented #39…

Loved #11 btw
Love it! #22 was my favorite, the image is awesome.
Woop! Really excited to have you join Neel! In case you wrote 50 I think you only copied a 8 of them, and if not—looking forward to the other 42 ;)
Ah, sorry, the original comment was an experiment with multi-line spoiler tags. I’ve now given up on that, and linked to a Google doc
I literally laughed out loud while reading your ideas in bed. Some of them are just beautiful!
22 and 42 are awesome!
