The Line Game

[Reach]

Well this isnt good. I was told that you cant have the same number in two of the rows.

then just use the method i posted for pearls before swine then obviously o_O

duh

or if you want to go 3,4,5,6 4 rows, like that, just take 4 from any row, and then just leave 8 in 2 rows again, or 6 in 3 rows. its easy to win.

Ha, I remember Pearls Before Swine 2.

I must have spent an hour trying to beat it, then I decided to sit down and think.
After about an hour of thinking, I finally came up with how to beat it.
But now I forgot.

Pearls doesnt work for it though. ATLEAST 3 in one row and ATLEAST 7 in the other and none can have the same number in them....

[Reach]

what are you talking about

how does 3,4,5 NOT apply to this? what have you been smoking.

on the first page you clearly state, atleast 7 in the other two. thus, if we add 4 and 5, we realise we now have 9 in these 2 rows, which is more than 7. there is 3 in the first row, and none of the rows have the same number of lines.

[unholyz]

...not combined...

this cant be done.
Of course what you said could be right if those were the rules of the game. The minimum amount of lines that can be used will look like this.

there cant be the same number in two columns and a minimum of 7 in two columns SEPERATELY. and a minimum of three in the other. This rule is the one that makes the game hard for me.

[blahblah18]

the rule is actually rather complicated, I've written programs to auto-win, it has to do with modulo base arithmetic... basically using binary addition on each column WITHOUT carrying, and to win you have to make that binary sum = 0 after your turn.. then you win. Its pretty easy to then see if you need to go first or second in any given setup to make the binary sum = 0

[Reach]

well your directions wern't very clear.

you can figure out something to win that setup too. or use binary.

[unholyz]

Can I get an example for the binary sum thing...I dont do coding...
