{Luck? What Luck is this guy talking about?}

Like hell would I depend on luck, my deduction was foolproof. No way was it incorrect.

Just then I heard another bout of laughter.

[Let's see how much your luck is worth.]

Everything shook up and the point light source at the ends start to expand. Soon each direction I can was the light source itself.

[Basically, now you have a ring as light source], explained the voice. [And this time, I am adding a condition. Every point on this disk lowest in intensity yet not chosen... I will add radiation sources at those places. I will watch you ... BURN] and it laughs again.

At this point, I was sure that this guy is crazy, and I was taking this situation way too lightly.

But still,

{Was I wrong?? The hell. Nah. He is definitely playing a game... planting seeds of doubt in my mind.} and I arrived at the conclusion, I just need to ignore him. {He-he}. I smiled. How smart am I!!

"It will you who will burn in the hell of Despair!!", I shouted at top of my voice.

{Still...} I view the Lux meter I have. {Should I give this a try?}

{Nah... let's not}

In the midst of all this, I heard another voice. [5 minutes!! You have 5 minutes to solve this one!]

"What the hell!! Now you are adding a time limit?"

I was a fool expecting some form of response as what I heard was another laughter.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

I again look at the Lux meter. This time I need to use it.

And thus I took the Lux meter and noted the reading

*4.91 Candelas it read. Further precision is not possible

From circular symmetry, it's obvious that if a point had minimum intensity, the whole ring across the center will have the same intensity.

So, I started my march. From the center, I started moving towards the edges and noted the readings.

*4.91 Candelas it read. Further precision is not possible

Sure, it probably hasn't changed much. And I believe it will only increase anyway. Center should be the solution anyway. And so I continued my march.

*4.91 Candelas it read. Further precision is not possible

...

...

...

*4.91 Candelas it read. Further precision is not possible

"THE HELL!!" What is this! Is this broken?

[2 minutes left], I heard another sound.

"Hey, this is broken." Silence. "Hey, listen this is broken. Give me a new one." Even more silence.

{The hell... What do I do? Wait... if ... if this not broken, then what's the explanation?}

If intensity decays inverse squared, then intensity should increase closer to the ring. I know it... I feel it.

{But... What if it isn't inverse squared? Wait... where... where . is . up . and . down. }

And then it occurs to me. "The Heck...". The realization dawned on me hard.

But it wasn't the time to immerse in it. I quickly did my calculations in the head. {Elementary... Easy... and well Tricky....}
