Dad Sea Monkee

http://alliancefromhell.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5633 is a tool that extracts clues directly from the page. I don't know how much it will help you.
That's an interesting script, but it does its extraction of the various clues by munging the text a bunch of times and then looking for word #14, word #16, and so on. I would rather extract the 10 clues with a regular expression and a single pattern match.
(Now, if I didn't already have cannonfire's spread sheet to look at, that script would give me the options for all the clues and how they map to elements, but I had it, and I knew that already.)
Thanks for the pointer.

Revision 12255 adds a solver for this. Untested with actual game HTML; I hand-crafted some text, based on what I saw in the Wiki, and using "test load dad.txt" and "test dad", confirmed that I got the same answers as cannonfire's spreadsheet.
I'd still like to see actual page HTML so I can test my regexp on it. I'll get to Dad within a month, but I am SURE others will be there before then.
We supposedly "solve" the puzzle when we see round 0 of the Dad Sea Monkee fight. There is a "dad" command which prints the solution. I suppose eventually - after I've been through it once - I could make it set the "skill" dropdown of the fight page to auto-select the appropriate Hobopolis spell for you, based on round number.

I need to finish 3 ascensions to get to Dad. That's probably a little over a week from now.
I have to go six times down the Gladiator Path before I can begin the run that will culminate in my seeing Dad for the first time, and I only do Hardcore, so it will take me rather longer than that. My original plan was to do TWO cycles through both the Scholars and the Gladiators, so that when I craft my Clothing, I will still have both of the component outfits left, but I think I will not have the patience to do that; I'll do Dad at least once or thrice before doing the extra pair of cycles to rebuild the other two outfits.

Outstanding! Thanks!
As it turns out, you gave me an example with an extra "The" in the text. I notice that Lightwolf's script skips that. So does mine, now. Revision 12259.

And thank you for your forum post and your spreadsheet, without which none of this would be possible.

And you're very welcome!

Tested him ten more times in Rev 12261 (just kept dying for more chances), and mafia correctly predicted weaknesses all ten times. Nice work!

You shake your head and look above the tank, at the window into space. Pulpy forms float in the darkness, each more bloated than the last. The void shimmers, suddenly revealing 4-dimensional monstrosities.<p>No. Look again. There is nothing. Are your memories betraying you? As if on cue, 13-sided triangles materialize and then disappear. So impossible that your head throbs.<p>You have to end this.
