Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

"A system is made of n components, each operating independently with probability p. The total system will function if at least 1/2 of its components work.
-When is a 2x+1 component system better than a 2x-1 component system?"

I hate Wharton.

Hehe...the lazy answer would be, "When x is equal to 0," but I'm assuming your question has an implied system domain of x>1.

P.S. - Actually solved a little while after my "onozimlate" post, but not going to actually complete due to not wanting to feel obligated to rack up more points...XD

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

LOL it makes no sense to have a "negative component" system.

I think I got it right but holy crap was it hard to solve.

lightshark: The rounds are all open, so you may as well submit what you've accomplished. You may feel an urge later to give something else a try.

Nah...I'll just bask carelessly in my indifference. :/

LOL it makes no sense to have a "negative component" system.

That's why I said it's the lazy answer. XD

Da key is da 1/2 functional requiyament! Just do a barrel roll!

lightshark: Do you mean solving riddle 5 or the whole riddle?

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

I think you guys will enjoy tomorrow's challenge.

[lightshark]

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

I meant the whole riddle, except it's still in raw form on mah notepad.

I'm really just here for the brain exercise, not for the competition. : O

When is the next mental challenge?

You should make it an interdependent series of quantitative finance systems.

Or maybe not...

I hope the mental challenge involes intergers rofl.

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

The next mental challenge will be much more straightforward without any "tricky" riddles. I have not fully designed it yet but I have a feeling it will involve a series of flash games and other sorts of puzzles. If I do include tricky riddles, they will be Bonuses.

Nice. No ongaku please!

Cool. I still haven't figured out any of the riddles for this round. Oh yeah and umm, for one of them, the diamond one, how do you make it a picture again after you've changed to coding?

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

Do you only get credit for 3rd round if you complete all of the challenges?

[mike2727]

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

Do you get any credit if you finished part of Ongaku?

[MrRubix]

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

No, for Ongaku you must complete the goals for full credit.

As for the challenge round, the goal is also to solve the entire challenge. Since the tournament is always open, odds are, with enough help, you'll get it solved. Just do it quickly enough before others do, lol.

Re: Omnipwn Tournament (100,000 Credit Grand Prize)

Fine. I'll try ongaku again.
