"I wasn't expecting this problem to be as difficult as it was for non-dath-ilani.  I was mostly trying to set you up for the trap where you try 3-6-9 or 3-5-7 and are sure you've found the answer then, I wasn't expecting the step after that to be as hard as it was.  But it looks like you all ended up learning a valuable lesson anyways, and the 'explicitization' of that lesson is this:"

"Very often in Science, especially when you're working in a confused 'pre-paradigmatic' field, 98% of the work is in coming up with the right hypothesis to test.  And then much less of that work is in the elaborate Law of Probability about how to interpret results that are less than totally clear.  We study that part because it has clearer Law to study and it helps reshape our thoughts, not because it's the most important or difficult part of the problem."

"And of that work of coming up with the right hypothesis to test, there again, the most difficult part is often in seeing the rule you were taking completely for granted, not explicitly, in the back of your mind, so that you could imagine it being false.  The difficult thing is not coming up with the right complicated sentence in a language you already know; it's breaking out of the language in which every hypothesis you can write is false."
