Every Root Walks Back Through the Gate
You'll learnto solve the two kinds of exp/log equation and check every root at the domain gate.
Two locks, two keys: a logarithm frees a trapped exponent, and exponentiating frees a trapped log argument. The algebra is four lines. The points die elsewhere — condensing with a fake property, and trusting a candidate root the original equation refuses to accept. Watch a root get executed at the domain gate.

Before you start
What you're looking at
Two separate short stories: an unknown trapped in an exponent, and an unknown trapped inside a logarithm.
The question
Is the unknown stuck in an exponent, or inside a logarithm?
Watch for
Each type's one-line key, the domain gate set before solving, and a candidate root getting rejected there.
