Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

i got it using only brainpower, took me about an hour 15 minutes (good thing to do rather than paying attention in school)
quite a tough puzzle. a friend of mine looked at it, tried to do the first one, and gave up 5 seconds later lol.

Well, since I'm 3/4ths retarded, I have to finagle an answer from my arse.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

I'm finding it quite interesting that you'll quote me the full list of "possible" answers from your program, and an alternate program I use seems to provide a number more. I don't know if it is just a more robust dictionary or what.

Also, it is quite possible that one of the reasons this is proving difficult is that each and every one of the problems was created from scratch by me, and not using any pre-existing wordlists or anything. However, in my estimation anyway, the most obscure word in the entire puzzle is "recurve" (hey look, a hint for everyone) and pretty much everything else seems to me to be a pretty typical word that sees at least some common use.

Edit: Oh also, updated.

Well, I have no idea how to do the new riddle. Here's the Platypus score.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

I am definitly missing something here...what's stopping you from potentially being able to withdraw an unlimited amount of buckazoids?

[devonin]

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Um...the question asks you, what is the largest amount that you CANNOT withdraw. As in: There are only 11 and 23 buckazoid coins, so since you can't get change, there is physically no way to withdraw say, 8 buckazoids, and there is physically no way to withdraw 35 buckazoids, so you're looking to find the -largest- number of buckazoids that it is impossible to generate using only 11 and 23 buckazoid coins.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

Okay, here's my Platypus score for now.

Re: Devonin's Critical Thinking Tournament

want to just add 9 points to my score? I have under 15 fc of rat2 ss back home and platypus aaa is cake.

I added 4 points for the rat2 because the replay is still on your list with a timestamp putting it inside the time-frame of the tourney. But even though I'm quite sure you can AAA platypus in one try, I still need to see the screenshot or the properly timed replay to count it.

Basically: Since I know you're away from your computer on official FFR business, you get the justified "Can't post screenies" exception that means I'll accept replays.
