Well I’m bored already. I’m gonna go do lessons and learn all the Japanese while you guys get annoyed at the troll puzzle from Koichi.

I looked at the conten iverhaul thread again. Thought, maybe the hint with the 91 problems might be a specific post in the thread.

Dont seem that way, though

Additional food for thought:
91 problems, and you’re another one: 91 + 1 = 92
Nine (9) pairs (2)

I put 92 cipher into search and found this:

Haven’t had much luck from here. Other possible ideas:

How many radicals were changed/affected during the radical overhaul? I counted 65 but I think there’s more since I haven’t learned all of them. I was thinking they’d add up to 91. Also, I counted 41 changed Kanji here and 65 + 41 happens to not be 91 so that was all for naught as well.

May not be important but if b=2 9b is 92.
