I know that the Cheap Trick Contest was long done and now over, but I still thought that this cheap trick would be interesting.

Try it out for yourself. :smile

I assume the trick is:

The thing is, it's been done before so I'm not sure why it seems like you're making it out to be a big deal. I, and I'm sure most people, solved it w/o reading any scrolls.

You're right, but that's only half the trick. The other half is

Uh, so I walk into the room, see theres some scrolls, see they're all pointless, and walk through the tunnel and fill the brain. Yay?

Would you like for me to change the room a bit to make it more interesting?

What Larry and TripleM said.

Sorry. The scrolls are dumb. They tell you that it's possible to kill the brain. You don't even have to think about the "clues" because they don't add any new information. "You can kill the brain" is the very first assumption you make when you see a brain in a room, especially when the hold is supposed to have a trick (an exception to this is if the trick is that the brain doesn't need to be killed).

Of course since you know so much about the contest, you'd know that I used the exact same trick in my entry already (with better success in my opinion, I might add)
