Here we go again... summaries for the season two silvers to help players decide how much effort they want to put into solving them. There will be no easy answers in this thread but, like last season, what there
will be (hopefully) is an indication of the shape of the problem, plus guidance as to whether a card is Reimann-impossible, Polar-frustrating, or capable of being solved by a single player who's prepared to put the work in.
As ever, please PM me with anything you have for the cards that have no summaries yet.

#230: Sum Other Way
| Spoiler (Rollover to View): |
| This is a straight-forward card, but you're unlikely to solve it with a pen and paper as the number's too large. However, whipping up your own computer programme to solve it is a practical proposition: the key phrase is "in any order", recursion should help and you can reduce the search-space by considering what the largest possible answer would be if you restricted the concatenation of digits to some length.

#231: The Fruits of the Tree
| Spoiler (Rollover to View): |
| The puzzle is about making sense of who and what they are referring to. Once the relation between the creator of life and the birthdays is found, the answer to both questions should be straightforward. Credit: ne0x
