Hax0ring with the Outside In method

IGNORE THE CENTER - START WITH THE EDGES

FIND A WIDE-ANGLE HEX ON THE OUTSIDE

GO AROUND THE OUTER CIRCLE ONE HEX AT A TIME (MOSTLY), ADJUSTING HEXES AS YOU GO

Start with a "hug-man"



Move around the outer circle leaving solved hexes in your wake



Use the previous hex in the circle as a guide



Jump ahead to the next "hug-man" and work backwards when necessary (or when you're comfortable doing so)

SPIN THE CENTER LIKE A TOP

What does the center hex look like? It could look like a lot of things. A slice of lemon? A star? One of those stupid desert skates? Who cares? Don't look at it at all. Don't even glance at it. You're going to do the center hex last. Looking at the center hex and trying to figure things out from there will just fill your head with all kinds of possibilities that will confuse the Hek out of you and screw everything up. It's not worth it.You're looking for a hex, any hex, that looks like either of these:Every seven-hex Corpus hack will have at least one of these.The first one looks like a top-down view of some dude opening his arms to give a hug. The second one looks like the same dude, only he's shooting a laser out of his eyes. As far as you're concerned they're effectively the same thing. I call thesehexes. Obviously, you should rotate the dude so that he's trying to hug the center hex. Quickly.Now at this point Little Timmy (gods rest his soul) would be jumping up excitedly and saying that we should go around the whole ring and turn all the hug-men so they face inwards, first things first, and then do the other hexes. I find this takes too long and is a bad habit, so don't do that. Instead do this next thing.Now obviously if you run into another hug-man hex, you should just turn it inwards, same as the first. If you're super lucky the entire outer ring will be hug-men. Don't count on being super lucky. You're probably going to run into one of the other two types of hex.Like this one, theAhhh! Which way should it point? Wait, it's easy! If it's, obviously you need to turn one of the lines so that it points, to connect to one of the hug-man's arms. This is why you generally go around the circle one hex at a time; when you move from a hug-man to a bunny-ears, it's immediately clear you should turn the ears back towards the way you came from.The other "ear" needs to point into the center, because otherwise it's going to go off into space. There simply isn't anywhere it can go but inwards.And of course if you move from a hug-man onto an adjacentlike this...then you simply turn the single line back towards the hug-man hex.The next hex after that will be yet another bunny-ears or lonely-line. Don't panic: just remember that the last hex you looked at is turned to an accurate position, and you can safely use it as a guide. In this case, now the lines need to be turned so they point away from the last hex, since there's a blank space there instead of a line to connect to. The only possible ambiguity is a lonely-line hex--do you point it inwards to the center, or towards the next hex in the circle? In that case you'll have to jump ahead to the next hug-man hex, however far ahead it is, and work backwards from there. Jumping ahead in the circle and working backwards is the most complicated thing you'll ever have to do with this hacking method. Once you've got that down, congratulations, you're a Corpus-hacking genius.And so on. Just remember:Repeat 'til the whole outer circle is done.Once the outer circle is done, click on that center hex. Again! Clickclickclickclick! Faster! You still don't need to look at it. As soon as it's in position, you win instantly. Grats. Now back to the running and shooting bits.
