Re: The Hardest Logic Puzzles
#5So I just got sucked into that Killer Sudoku puzzle - and ugh, now I have a burning desire to print it out on a big A2 spread to work on it.
After the first couple of "gimme" squares, the interface is completely worthless for tracking the information you actually need to remember. There's no good way to express "This square is three more than that square, and also can only be one of these possibilities", which makes it a pain to correlate that with similar information about other squares, but at the same time (at least at this, admittedly early stage) it still feels like you can always make another logical step to another piece of information.
I don't even want to look at the others until I've either finished or given up on this one.

Conways' Game of Life is not a strategy game. I built one using Javascript:

It certainly has a strategy element seeing as the whole game is build upon the premise that particles act depending on a certain strategy.

Re: The Hardest Logic Puzzles
#9#2 is easy, by using double negatives and asking the same question to each god (asking different questions does you no good):
"Is the other non-random god capable of lying?"
The truth telling god will always answer: "yes" (da || ja)
The false telling god will always answer: "yes" (da || ja) [the truthful answer is 'no', but this god tells only lies, therefore the answer is 'yes']
The random god will answer: "yes || no" ((da || ja) || (ja || da))
This means, you will always only get the following combination of answers, no matter what A,B,C order you ask:
da, da, da; ja, ja, ja;
da, da, ja; ja, ja, da;
ja, ja, da; da, da, ja;
da, ja, da; ja, da, ja;
ja, da, ja; da, ja, da;
'Yes' will always have 2 or 3 of the same values. 'No' can only have 1 or 0 values. Now that you have the cipher, you can decode everything.

How can you then distinguish between the two non-randomly-answering gods? They will answer the same, and the answer from the randomly-answering god appears to contain no useful information.
