Re: Logic Puzzles

Everyone goes in at once and no one leaves until everyone has their number. Unless it was stated somewhere that this is not a possibility.

Re: Logic Puzzles

Ok, we all give up. What's the answer? Most likely that it's impossible, or there's something you really didn't tell us.

Re: Logic Puzzles

Freaking.

I thought of a way that involves rearranging the ID cards but that doens't really work since the room resets =|

Re: Logic Puzzles

ok come on kit, if this took you two hours no one here is going to get it at all unless like AP or Reach come along and really try on it.

also I've never heard of "group theory" hahaha

Re: Logic Puzzles

i've got a question can they all check a box and then all check another box that way when they all check two boxes they should get rougly 2 our of the hundred without losing anybody and contionue on so forth...

Re: Logic Puzzles

damn im tired i mean roughly 4 i think you would have 4900 chances with the number of chests gradually lowering with a one in a hudnred chance at first...hmm

Re: Logic Puzzles

this warden seems a little troubled to me

reminds me of Belick from prison break

[Self_Indulging_Prick]

Re: Logic Puzzles

4950 i suppose.. and its 2 boxes...

Re: Logic Puzzles

by the time you get half way through you should with the luck of prbability have the odds go up 50% so it would take much less tries

[Self_Indulging_Prick]

Re: Logic Puzzles

i forget how to calculate the exponential gain here but at first you'll slowly gain your ratio and loose less turns and get more chests right by the end you shouldnt lose as many and i think the odds actually arent too bad considering doing it this way if its allowed by the rules would make it so no one gets eliminated till the end... i wish kit was still online... i shoulda typed this stuff i woke up a little anyway ima whip that white **** that accumalates on the corner of your lips when your thirsty....

Re: Logic Puzzles

Maybe I should rephrase.
Each inmate gets to choose fifty boxes. Once the first inmate goes in, as far as any one inmate is concerned, every other inmate has vanished off the face of the earth. [hint size="heug"]Thus, it doesn't matter if they all go at the same time, as long as they all get 100 separate, identical rooms.[/hint] How should each prisoner choose his/her fifty boxes?
So no more guesses about how they can pass each other information.

Re: Logic Puzzles

ok, i suppose i would chose a few boxes in varied locations and take the data in on what numbers and where and match it and make an algarythym or whatever taht word is or should be cuz with probability you can figure out by where it isnt where it should be specially by the kinda numbers you find else where kinda doubt this what you mean either though... but im bored

Re: Logic Puzzles

so, does every inmate see 100 boxes in the room even if the guy before was correct?

Edit: Have everyone pick a different combination of boxes so no 50 picked between all 100 people are the same. Don't know if this would get up to 30%, but it would increase the odds.
Edit2: **** group theory. I'm agreeing with shash on this one. I'm guessing less than 10 people on these forums even know what group theory is.

Re: Logic Puzzles

Oh whatever.
Strategy for each inmate:
First box: the box number corresponding to his/her ID number.
Each box after that: the box number corresponding to the ID number found in the previous box.
When does this succeed? Only when there are no cycles of order 51 or higher, which is roughly 30.6% of the time. If there is a cycle of order 51 or higher, each person whose ID is in this cycle fails. The first case obviously has a probability of 50%, with the chance gradually decreasing from there until it reaches 30.6% at 50 people, because there is guaranteed to be at least one person in a cycle of 51 if there is one present. The cool thing is that even if you have 5,000 people sharing 100 ID numbers, the chance doesn't go down.

Someone else post one.
