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)

Yes. See archive.org of original it has the same title and the same duration (Look for <meta itemprop="duration" content="PT51M25S"> in the archived HTML; compared to the 51:24 of your link).
I have edited the Wiki, thanks for finding the link!

Yes, that's what the source code says. There are even two explicit guards against it: "make sure you don't land on an impossible reward" and .filter(r => r.weight > 0).

@habryka has the void virtue, though is missing empiricism. Lesswrong user habryka displaying badges for the virtues of  void, argument, evenness, ghiblify, humility, curiosity, lightness, precision, simplicity, scholarship, perfectionism and relinquishment 

Maybe he got it prior to the commit introducing the weight: 0 or via direct access to the database.

I didn't find another way of gaining the virtue.
