PUZZLE #5034: Prism Refraction Cipher [prism: triangle] (diff 1)

prism-refraction learn difficulty: 1/7 compute author: system unsolved

Laser through a triangle prism. 3 shots = 3-char word.

DATA

Difficulty	`1`
Columns	`3`
Wall	{ "shape": "circle", "radius": 15.0, "center": [ 0.0, 0.0 ] }
Prism	{ "shape": "triangle", "center": [ 3.0, 0.0 ], "rotation": 0.0, "params": { "side": 3.0 }, "refractive_index": 1.853 }
N Chars	`26`
Shots	`{'laser_angle_deg': 0, 'exit_angle': 0.0}, {'laser_angle_deg': 0, 'exit_angle': 0.0}, {'laser_angle_deg': 0, 'exit_angle': 0.0}`
Hints	`Prism Refraction: 3 shots, prism=triangle, wall=circle, n=1.853`
Hint	`Prism Refraction Cipher (diff 1). Wall: circle, prism: triangle at (3.00,0.00), n=1.853. 3 laser shots, one per character. Trace each laser through the prism using Snell's law. The exit ray hits the wall at a character. Read them in order. Submit the 3-character word.`
Answer Format	`lowercase decoded message`
