Omnipwn Tournament: Dual Core

[MrRubix]

Breakdown: Incorrect answer in PM btw


Ok, as of this post, everything's updated, and screens are up (WTF so many screens)

Again please let me know if I've missed something. There's a ton of data.

[MrRubix]

I might just upload my excel file in the future... updating all 4 screens per existing round plus the additional four for the overall -> eventually an insanely huge load of screens, lol.

[Breakdown16]

Ooh, I'm 12th and there's plenty of stuff I haven't done yet. Maybe I have a chance after all.

[jump_the_bullet]

so was i right if may ask?

edit: nvm i checked the scores =D

edit2: and i just got this



and this!

[jonathanasdf]

wtf. haxxor?!

[MrRubix]

If you have a 0 for something, it means you either haven't turned it in, or it's wrong. Feel free to resubmit future answers/score submissions though.

What combo generates that kind of score? That's uber

[kjwkjw]

Blah.. two of the mentals are still not solving for me... maybe I should finish the games and the FFR challenges first.

So I'm 19th... I have a lot of work to do XD

[jonathanasdf]

jump thats just ... crazy score.. good job...

[Tasselfoot]

did this yesterday afternoon... was a bit pissed i didn't get 3 mil... and, was a mega fluke run too.

[Commandersa1]

Those are nice scores, but I am so glad I have something to do now.

I have a question for anyone who has played Music Catch, is it completely random? Sometimes I get a 70 combo, and sometimes I get a 90 combo. Anyone know?

[warriormag17]

Id like to join if its not too late.
(And yes, I did read the first post....)
There were so many people posting about scores and such I was curious about it.

[Tasselfoot]

warrior: anyone can join at any time...

commander: oh yes, it's random.

[kjwkjw]

I didn't submit a TBA Two score...

Don't really want to improve, but this should give me a few extra points.

15/15 on mentals so far. I haven't got a confirmation on Round 3, but I am pretty confident in all of them. I just can't wait for when they will become somewhat hard.

[Tasselfoot]

you sure about that? do you remember some of the mentals from Omnipwn Dual Core: Take 1?

Such as:

There are three demons, Mis, Turr, and Rubix. One of them always tells the truth, one always responds with a lie, and one responds randomly (that is, can be either true or false). You can ask three yes-no questions, one to each demon. The demons understand your language, but will respond in their own language with the phrases "lol" and "lmao" (you do not initially know which means yes and which means no). Determine which demon speaks truthfully, which one speaks falsely, and which one speaks randomly.

It is a quite challenging riddle... took me a LOT of time to solve it.



This is also quite challenging, especially if you want to get all 100 to survive:

There is a prison with 100 prisoners, all labeled from 1-100. The guards decide to cut the prisoners a deal. Each prisoner is outfitted with a hat. The hats are either blue or green in color. A prisoner cannot see their own hat. The guards plan to bring the prisoners outside, where they will be able to guess the color of their hat. If they guess correctly, they are freed and released immediately from the courtyard. If not, they are shot on sight. However, the prisoners are allowed to discuss a strategy amongst themselves before they are all brought out to the central courtyard. At this point, nobody knows the color of their own hat (but can see everyone else's). All the prisoners are allowed to do at this point is say either "Blue" or "Green" at any time. What kind of strategy can the prisoners use to ENSURE that at least 99 prisoners are freed? An extra 50 bonus points if you can give me a strategy that ensures 100% survival.



edit: A very challenging probability question:
Assume you are on an infinitely long road (running east to west) alongside an infinitely long chain of stores. You can only make three decisions: Move east one store, move west one store, or stay put. A decision counts as one move. You never stop making decisions, and decisions are made randomly (each is equally likely). What is the probability that the third time you choose to move west is your 10th move?



So, yea... are you SURE you want these mentals to get harder? Because I'm quite confident that the majority of the people can not come close to solving any of the above 3... and I wonder if ANY of you guys can solve all 3.

[emerald000]

I find challenges 2 and 3 pretty easy. I never took the time to look for the first one, but I am sure I would find the answer to it. (And thanks, I will know have something to lose my time on.)

[Commandersa1]

I thought 2 might be easy, but I am sure there are certain things you could not do that I am thinking of. 3 seems like it is just a lot of work, not sure if it is hard. 1 is a pain.

[PlayTrumpet]

I was pretty content with my answer for Mental 2, as the math works. Am I thinking in the wrong form or is it just plain wrong?

[Tasselfoot]

if any of you guys want to discuss the 3 that i posted... feel free to IM me. i'm fairly confident that whatever you think is right actually isn't. they're harder than they look.

[Bluearrowll]

Ok i'm still having problems with Music catch: On a laptop I got the game to work but no shapes ever come:



Looks like that, after waiting about 5 minutes. Is it supposed to be like this?
