Pajama Sam Questions Explained

There are two possible questions you can get under the "Land of Darkness" question category. One asks about the number on the Water Meter in the mines. The other asks you the color of the Flowers by the well. The flower question is much faster, however, it's normally impossible to get when all of Sam's gear are in their normal/easy locations (the paths we use in any%). The Flower question is used under certain combinations of paths, such as some items in hard location and some not.
The issue that has come up lately is that, when the game's default path triggers the Flower question, switching the paths over to all the left ones DOES NOT switch the game to use the water meter question. This is a big issue because once you do that, you have an illegal save. Having the flower question saves around 7-8 seconds so it is a substantial banned time save. It's an easy thing to do by accident, so no harm done if you make this mistake at first. The easy solution to this is when making a save, warp to room 61 using debug. Set the paths from top to bottom, right, left, left. Then leave. Then go back to room 61 and then set all to left. You should then have a perfectly legal save.
Again, Flower question is banned for the normal any% route because it cannot occur with that path combination without debug.

Below is a spreadsheet showing what combination of paths trigger what questions and which combinations switch over and which ones do not.
