Raine's Logic Puzzle #1

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Ugh, someone ples solve consecutive. I feel like it can be done, but I don't see it from my method

[Rest in Piss YCMaker]

This has gone far beyond what I signed up for.

[~British Soul~]

at least someone else has good taste and is systematic

I could've posted one of the other solutions with the same method, but I didn't in the end.

Yeah what British, Speedroid, and I did was the most efficient method. Divide the possibilities by 2 each time.

[Chaosix]

Moo, moo moo. Moo Moo Moo. Moo.

you actually swapped a 2 and 3 around from the efficient prettiest method

Different challenge,

 

If you have n guesses, what's the formula to find the maximum number of doors

[goddamnit names are a pain]

Wouldn't you just split the group into halves, say numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Then, depending on the answer (if the door to safety is in those 4, or not), you split that group (or the other) into half for the second time. 
Again, go with the group that ends up having the door in it, and split it once more.

So, say it's door six.

My first group doesn't have it. I then toss out numbers 1-4. For guess two, I split 5, 6, 7, and 8, into two groups of two, and suggest one. 

Well, the group with six has the door I want, and the others are useless- leaving me with just two numbers. I suggest one of the two, and instantly know the answer.

^ My take on it, in white ^

Now, if you didn't get told the answers after each question, and only after all three guesses, it would be much harder.

I would attempt something similar, though. 

Feh, I tried for 20 minutes to number crunch for hard mode, it ain't worth it xD

I had some good leads, but I always only got 40-60% chance of being right. 100% is actually interesting, I'mma see what you guys said.

Yeah, you split possibilities in half each time. Since you have 3 tries, and 2 to the power of 3 is 8, it works out.

[goddamnit names are a pain]

I was trying some wacky s*** with 5s and 3s for hard mode. I also tried leaving one number out of calculations for it.

If you leave out, say, 8, in all three of your guesses, and it turns out it's eight, you're instantly right. 

If it's not eight, you left it out of calculations but you know it's not needed.

Trying to work from there for hard mode, no luck yet though.

 

EDIT

1 3 5 7

1 4 5 6

1 2 7 6

Holy s***, it's so close. Sooooo close.

You know if it's 1 because all three light up. You know if it's 8 because none of them do. 

You know if it's two because only one lights up. You know if it's 3 because only one lights up. Again, true with four.

Two light up, it's 5 or 7 (depending on which two light up). Same with 6.

 

So... you know if it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. I think I got it!

Sorry if it sounds choppy, I was just piecing it together myself as I went, haha.

Edit to the edit: Aix's strategy was the same, as I can see now. The goal is to have the three guesses have three unique numbers, a shared number, a number that is left out, and  3 pairs of shared numbers between all three, if that makes sense.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Ok so you can solve 16 doors with 4 guesses

 

so I think it's a 2^n deal. 

 

N= guesses 2^n= number of doors it can solve

I got it to be binomial

 

1 in all

 

3 in 2 

3 in 3

 

1 in none

 

Samething forfor 4 guesses and 16 doors

>Pick different doors

>Whole room is featureless except for numbers 1-8 on doors

>Only a specific door will work

>Others are death

>Only have a vague hint

 

OBVIOUSLY THE ANSWER TO THIS CLICHE IS DOOR #4

THE MIDDLE DOOR IS ALWAYS THE CORRECT ONE IN THIS PREDICTABLE PUZZLE

BUT IT'S A TIE BETWEEN 4 AND 5, SINCE DOORS 1 TO 3 AND 6 TO 8 ARE ALL FAKE

DOOR #5 IS ASSUMED TO BE THE CORRECT ONE, BUT ITS NOT; IT'S NOT RIGHT

SO THAT LEAVES DOOR #4, WHICH IS THE ONE THAT'S LEFT

NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE A CORRECT DOOR TO WALK THROUGH

IWBTG uses different principals.

Plus... That's only 1 pathway. Not 8.

[Ryusei the Morning Star]

Shuddup :3

[mitchermitcher]

when in doubt, pick door 7

[Raine]

ARMZ IS CORRECT! The real right answer was to walk through any door without using all the hints. The correct door is invalid because after the 3rd hint, all the doors become the wrong door. WE HAVE OUR VICTOR!

I feel like I could do this

 

Also I love you Raine. like a brother

it better just be as a brother

anything else and I'd be making steak for dinner

Answer posted, but most of you got it. Good work everyone! Thanks for playing!

I call bullshit.
