More directly than the other comments: No you can’t solve for x and y here and yes your intuition is wrong. These are functions. I don’t know your level of knowledge in math or pro…

Yeah, I’m surprised this didn’t get a low impact. If just setting initial board state isn’t low, what is?

It’s pseudorandom. It’s predictable in theory because if you had another watch, or an amazing sense of time, you could predict it. Is that realistic? Not really. Computers use thei…
