Two Truths and an App
November 27, 2009Recently, one of the podcasts I listen to had a “Two Truths and a Lie” contest. The first person in the forums to guess what all four lies are (one guess per member) wins something. A game, I think. Anyways, a lot of people are guessing in the forums to no avail. Thankfully, there’s enough data to where I was/am able to write a program that will deduce possibly correct outcomes based on hints and incorrect guesses that have been made. There were 81 total possibilities to start with (4^3), and now my program has worked out a final seven. With any luck, there will be still further clues to where I can narrow it down to one or two before someone else guesses correctly! I’ll post the source code and an explanation of how the concept works when the contest has run it’s course!
now THAT’s hardcore.
I once coded a Visual BASIC program (it got the job done with minimal effort) that did a physics project for me. I never felt more successful in my life.
