[21:52] Does it have a solution? How many presses [21:52] Didn't you try by hand? [21:53] I tried by hand one hour, then decided to write a program. [21:53] since then I haven't tried it by hand [21:53] the program solves the 4 hole problem in 0.004 seconds. [21:53] for 6 holes it just eats up all memory and crashes after about 1 1/2 hours :) [21:55] :-/ [21:55] my algorithm is very bad though. [21:56] I just wrote a bfs [21:56] what hit me a little waqs that after 6 moves the minimal number of states for the paths was still 6 [21:57] There are 8 possible moves [21:57] yes program knows [21:57] it generates them at the beginning ;) [21:58] 8 possible moves, 7 possible states [21:58] Are there also 8 possible states? [21:59] no [21:59] well yes [21:59] Final state :-P [21:59] :) [21:59] if you count the final state, yes. [21:59] if you count "pushing no button" as a move there are 9 moves [22:00] I simply made all possible paths of a given length and at each step checked if one path led to the winning state as only possible state :) [22:01] not a good algorithm [22:01] No [22:02] well I already have better algorithms in mind, but am a bit lazy to implement them. [22:03] Can you solve 5 states if you have more than 2 hands? [22:03] how? [22:03] No, I asked if you can? [22:03] I haven't tried [22:04] hrm [22:06] I don't see how. [22:06] Why? [22:06] :-) [22:06] John: Can you elaborate on that? [22:06] I didn't say it is possible, I haven't tried [22:07] I haven't tried either. it's just that 5 seems to lack a state from which win is the only possible transition using a specific move [22:08] now tell me why you ask so impishly! [22:09] Just wondering [22:11] there doesn't seem to be a move in 5 holed button-trap which can only be applied in two ways and thus there also exists no trap state for which that move clears the trap [22:12] hrm [22:13] at least I just don't see it. [22:13] maybe ask sf [22:13] Or maybe having three hands and being able to toggle 3 buttons is equivalent to having two hands and being able to toggle 2 buttons :-P [22:14] excuse me? [22:14] In a five button box pressing three buttons would be functionally equivalent to pressing two! [22:15] ... really? [22:15] :) [22:16] John: Maybe your life have something to do with this. [22:19] John: I don#t see how it is possible to win methodically when there is obviously no state that leads to a secure win.
