Perceptle #98 answers (2026-10-23)
Friday rules are confirmed in the public client. The five targets are a reconstruction for puzzle #98, checked against Friday ranges (moving dots, bounce, full turns, off-beat, a fraction past 1). Not an official printed key.
I treat 2026-10-23 as puzzle #98 because #1 is 18 July 2026. The mode is Friday. Friday rules need both a Friday and a number of at least 14. The stats API snapshot listed 2,036 players, a total average of 50, and a Tempo average of 13.7.
| Test | Target | Check | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Count | 80 dots | reconstructed | Dots drift and bounce for about 2.6 seconds. |
| Track | x = 427.29 | reconstructed | About 53.41% of the field, with at least one wall bounce. |
| Angle | 491° | reconstructed | One full turn plus 131°. Friday keeps the whole turn count. |
| Tempo | 80 BPM, off-beat | reconstructed | 750 ms per beat. Continuation taps sit on the half-beat. |
| Split | 9/7 from the right | reconstructed | 128.6% of the shorter Friday line. The mark can sit past the segment. |


How the misses score
The client uses score = round(100 × exp(−0.5 × (error / σ)²)). On a Friday day, one σ is a score near 61. Friday widens σ but does not change the letter cuts. The #91 Friday in the public stats still averaged 48.8, so the wider band is not a free grade.
Different numbers usually mean a different site. perceptle.org uses ten tests out of 1,000. perceptle.app was on its own #6 the day I checked #97. Which Perceptle is the comparison. Practice the matching skill on Count, Track, Angle, Tempo, or Split.
