Stonehead Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Awight, you think you're smart, try this game. Pearls Before Swine The link takes you to the main page. Hover your cursor over the guy lounging on the couch. Then select the game called Pearls Before Swine. Good luck. Let me know if you win and how you did it.

Gripped Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 5-4-3 Your Move! 5-4-1 His Move 5-3-1 YM 2-3-1 HM 2-2-1 YM 2-2 HM 2-1 YM 0-1 HM ... doh! you win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehead Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 It starts out with the 5-4-3 combination. It's your move first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 5-4-3 Your Move! 5-4-1 His Move 5-3-1 YM 2-3-1 HM 2-2-1 YM 2-2 HM 2-1 YM 0-1 HM ... doh! you win! WTF! He thinks he won? But why wouldn't he just wipe out the last row after your first move? As long as there are two rows each with more than one pearl, and it's your move, he cannot lose... error in the algorithm?

Gripped Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 It starts out with the 5-4-3 combination. It's your move first. Right. For your first move, take two stones from the smallest row (so there is one stone left). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why wouldn't he just wipe out the last row after your first move? As long as there are two rows each with more than one pearl, and it's your move, he cannot lose... error in the algorithm? Once you get 5-4-1, and it's his move, you can force a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucK Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 No you're not. He clears the 1 pearl, then it's 5-4-0 YM 4-4-0 He's lost If you were correct, then you could win by starting out clearing the 3 row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 yeah I guess that's right. Got the second one though. I just memorized the losing combinations so I could go through iterations quickly on three browsers. Haha I am uber- today... Anybody have a more elegant strategy besides just knowing when to stick him with a losing combo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
