Slay the Spire 1 exam #1
Note: The original version of the exam has been modified with several errata; please see the updated version below.
The exam was released on 2025-08-28. The solutions will be released no earlier than 1 week later (2025-09-04), so that people have time to try it. (I may delay longer, if people are still having fun or if anyone requests it or if I'm busy playing Silksong.) Update: There has been at least one request for an extension, so the actual solutions release date will be later. Further update: Solutions are now released!

Some commentary: The exam is unreasonably long and difficult. You probably shouldn't attempt the whole thing in one sitting, though I'm not stopping you. The idea is to have fun; some questions might strike you as unreasonable amounts of work, in which case you should skip them. Of course, if you send me a submission, it will be graded, but yknow it's not like it counts for anything.
The SHA256 of the solutions PDF is b5d75fef
Behind the scenes: Now that solutions are released, I will also post all the notes and code that went into producing the exam, as well as this spreadsheet of various ad hoc bits.
