Information

It is a deliberate probe rather than a possible answer here: the point is to separate the remaining answers cleanly.

Hard Mode Use GRAPE instead.

AALII does not fit this page's clues. GRAPE keeps every clue shown here and leaves an average remainder of 1.67 (2 in its worst branch). Check any additional yellow-position clues in the full Solver.

Tight family: GR_PE

GRAPE, GRIPE, GROPE differ only in the third position. Trying them one at a time can use several turns; AALII tests the family more efficiently.
