Oops, wrote the name of the wrong mathematical problem. I meant the Ponicare conjecture (fixed).

Multi time national heroine, mage with enough skill to rival Starswirl and very likely someday surpass him, very book smart and well loved by ponies everywhere. Yeah, you're totally nothing special.
Two updates so close? Oh Trick Question, you spoil me!
you know, whatever Celestia's secret is, it can't live up to the hype by now.
7929126 Yeah, to borrow and alter a line from Zero Punctuation: "You built suspense, Trick Question, it's a very nice suspense. You can stop building it now. No, I don't think it'd look nicer with a conservatory. Put that trowel down before I smack you with it!"

It's going to be that unicorn horns are made of delicious candy.
Don't reveal this masterful secret to anypony!
(Actually the point of the banter here isn't to foreshadow the secret, which of course is not going to shock you into catatonia, but to illustrate Celie's mindset.)
Hmm.
You know, this would explain a lot of things. For example, Luna's weird behaviour in relation to the other vamponies/Order ponies. It's still possible she's putting on an act to undermine them, but it's even more likely Luna deliberately goaded Twilight into hoof-raping her past self. It's still a stable time loop; Luna made sure Twilight was in the right circumstances and the right mindset to try something so desperate, heinous and perverted. And corrupted Luna wouldn't see any problem with it at all.
I wonder, though, if that's a red herring. Of course Twilight thinks it's her fault and that she's the Changeling in question, but something tells me she isn't. Like the question how Celestia came to conclude it must've been a Changeling in the first place.
Wow, Celestia is super cereal about suppressing that particular piece of knowledge. And she STILL won't explain what's so dangerous about it; it's not like there aren't plenty of incapacitating things you can do if you're applying hooves to the head. There has to be something else the technique does, or leads to... So she's consistent but I'm thinking this secret is more than just a piece of antimagic jujitsu.
About the changeling thing, I agree with those saying it wasn't her. Twilight certainly committed sexual assault, but it wasn't THAT traumatizing, surely. Either changelings play some other role (hive mind->Order of Spring?) and Twilight is wrong to make that connection, or Celestia doesn't understand what really happened. Perhaps it was not the sexual assault that drove her to become Nightmare Moon, but Twilight's message left behind. Lots of ways that could turn out, like Nightmare Moon being some attempt to fight the Order and the elements beating her into submission for it, or perhaps the Order corrupts her to stop her.
That "technique" must be much more important than Celestia lets on; at this point it's not only her big secret, but Luna is acting like spilling the beans on it explains everything, plus the author says it will all make sense soon. My money is this is some sort of mental control thing.
Looking back, this is actually the point where I decided I'd had enough. The problem was twofold.
One, I didn't like any of the characters anymore. On one side, we have the lobotomizing sex monsters. On the other, we have Big Sister acting as a one-pony Ministry of Truth. And in the middle is one poor purple pony who's so tangled in puppet strings that you could post her struggle to YouTube and get a million hits.
Two, my curiosity about the deeper questions of the setting no longer outweighed my distaste, especially given the subtitle two chapters from here.
Sorry. Here's hoping you and the audience continue to enjoy the story.

No prob. As I've said, the story definitely isn't for everypony. And yes, the answers are still a slow trickle, though the next chapter finally touches on some illumination of the motives of the vamponies, and most questions will be answered within the next five chapters (the fifth especially). The torturous pace is one of the biggest downsides to the story, and it's made worse by the fact that watchers have to wait so long between chapters. But it's a labor of love I would do even if nopony else liked it, and some authors probably understand that idea.
"I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas!"
Oh God and fuck
