Doors 1

There are 2 numbered doors :

The 5-numbered door and the 4-numbered door.

[9] abducted [4] and makes [4] and [1] to register their number to the 5-numbered door, and then himself.

419 --> 4 + 1 + 9 = 14 --> 1 + 4 = 5

[9] goes alone to the 5-numbered door. After 81 seconds, [9] died from disobeying the 3-5 persons rule per door.

The remainin persons are :

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

The plan is :

Plan A

4-numbered door : [3][5][6][8]

3568 --> 3+5+6+8 = 22 --> 2+2 = 4

5-numbered door : [1][2][4][7]

1247 --> 1+2+4+7 = 14 --> 1+4 = 5


There will be an option to change the plan into switching [5] with [1] and [4]:

Plan B

4-numbered door : [3][6][8] [1][4]

3568 --> 3+6+8+1+4 = 22 --> 2+2 = 4

5-numbered door : [1][2][7] [5]

1247 --> 2+7+5 = 14 --> 1+4 = 5


I choose plan B. No one left behind just [9] is dead.


Digital Root

The digital root function is to add all digit. If the result is greater than 9 then all the digit is added again until the result is a one-digit number.


Here is an example.

The number is 568

5+6+8 = 19 --> 1 + 9 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

The digital root of 568 is 1.


The number is 75236

7+5+2+3+6 = 23 --> 2+3 = 5

The digital root of 75236 is 5

Nonary Game rules

Each person will given a unique number within the range 1 to 9. 

Here is the list of the 9 persons nicknames and their number.

[1] ACE

[2] SNAKE

[3] SANTA

[4] CLOVER

[5] JUNPEI (The main character)

[6] JUNE

[7] SEVEN

[8] LOTUS

[9] ??? (Died before he has a nickname)

I won't refer them with their names from now on, i'll refer them from their number.


The 9 persons is abducted and placed in a sinking ship that will sink in 9 hours. The goal of the game is to survive and find the exit. In the ship there are unique numbered doors within the range 1 to 9.

These numbered doors is locked. To open the door the 9 persons have to use register their numbers to open the doors. These are the criteria to open the doors :

1. The registered number's digital root must equal with the number on the door (i will explain about digital root later)

2. Only 3-5 persons can go through 1 door.

3. All person that is registered to the door must go through the door.

4. A person that is not registered to the door can't go through the door.


So basically 3-5 persons register their number until the number has been satisfied and they should go though the door, no leaving a registered person and also no adding another non-registered person.


The door will open for 9 seconds. Anyone who disobey the rule will have a bomb detonates on their stomach at 81 seconds, which mean dead.


The exit is a 9 numbered door. ( a numbered door with number 9)

9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors

I know the title of the game maybe a sound a little wrong, persons should be people but the title of the game used persons. So instead of people i will use the word persons.

9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors is a story about 9 people who get abducted by a mysterious person (which we don't know the person is a he or a she), this person called zero.

the 9 persons is chosen for a game called nonary, a game that the bet is their life.

Change Game 1

I've played SRW L until episode 22 right now. But i don't think i'll post about SRW L again...

Btw SRW L made me curious and watched some movie and anime series. First Macross Frontier movie, Evangelion movie 1 & 2, Kurogane no Linebarrel episode 25 & 26 (i haven't watched the 24 first episodes) and the last is complete series of dancouga nova. There are many stories, which i didn't understand before, now i understand.

Anyway... Right now i play a puzzle-novel NDS game the title is 9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors. My post will be brief and i'll also write my speculation for the ending of the game.
