Radio Spies - new problem 251
Back to General discussions forum
Friends and Colleagues!
Unwilling to end this year with "too round" number of tasks - so here is yet another interactive puzzle, based upon the paper-and-pencil game we played in university.
According to logs our dear colleague Mathias aka gardengnome is already testing
it bombing the server with requests :)
Just wanted to note - attempts limit for it was set quite arbitrarily, upon average from several my manual runs. If you feel it is too prohibitive for automated solver - let's discuss. I myself haven't yet tried to solve it programmatically (it was partly my goal to create a task on which I can compete too).
Mathias, Hi! Wow, that was fast :) I thought it will hang unsolved for a couple days (judging by my own ideas how I'd try solving it)! Thanks for test/proving this!
temptation to invoke Z3 :)
Wow once more :) I have just learned something new. By quick glance it's something reminding of good old Prolog, but my knowledge of the topic is very limited. Probably I should try to figure out how this works!
