Just had the idea to share my experience when I tried this in February.
Previous Experience: Had played world 1 before
Goal: Actually get it right on the first try with ~90% confidence
Approach:
I wanted high legibility on my thoughts, to increase surface area, that I can reflect on
thinking out loud with screen + audio recording
thinking through writing (e.g. “assumption: …”, “plan A”, “realization”, “insight”)
durations (e.g. 4min) to allow me to see my speed at a glance
Fatebook predictions for my solution working
Feb08 at 20:00 I played world 2 level 1: took 45min + 20min of reflection
Feb23 at 05:40 I played world 2 level 2: took 40min + 20min of reflection
Feb23 at 07:00 I played world 2 level 3: was quite easy, so I found 5 solution candidates. My confidence ranging from 65%-90%; all ended up working
My initial idea for both level 1 and level 2 would have failed though I knew to continue and then found a correct solution. I like that this exercise gave me a glimpse of what it feels like to solve a problem that you felt stuck on.
I think it is useful for me continue this exercise
If it’s useful feedback to you, I can send you my notes (3 levels) and the recording (only first level)
