Of course I did. You should have put 7 in there though. At first I hadn't noticed you only had two of those things. :roll:

What the-- Jedi! Question one is rigged! :evil:

So it's 7 tries with 3 balls, I assume? How does that work, anyway? My first guess was binary search until you have two balls left, but that proved not to be optimal.

catalina_marina 08-12-2004 05:33 PM

Actuelly, it's 7 if you have an infinite number of balls. Or just a large enough one. Like 7, for example. :wink:

Michiel 08-12-2004 08:38 PM

Ah. That's binary search. Assume it breaks at floor 100. You have the following tries:

50
75
88
94
97
99
100

Yup, that's 7 tries. Any idea how you would go about it if you had, say, 4 balls?

Or: More than two balls and not enough balls for a binary search?

90% 8) I'd like to see anyone beat that on that quiz. ;) (And I can't beleve i missed the one I did. :roll: )

Michiel 08-13-2004 02:05 PM

0%. And I think that's quite an accomplishment. ;) I had to guess them all, so the chance of this happening is 0.056.

Congradulations. :D ;)

I retook Pointy's, using what i'm pretty sure were my origanal answers. Consittering i only got 50% , you won't have to suspect me of cheating. :roll: ;)

catalina_marina 08-13-2004 10:51 PM

Yeah. Same answers. So that's 70 then. I still say question one is rigged. :roll:

MaverickZer0 08-14-2004 06:31 AM

Question one? Question one is obvious. Question four is the really evil one. You're actually the only one to have gotten it right so far.
