RE: Number Choosing Contest. - a52 - 05-18-2016

Also, I made two mistakes in my earlier post. I've fixed them now.


RE: Number Choosing Contest. - Kaynato - 05-18-2016

I think I know the first rule.

No clue about the second.

That last batch would appear to contain counterexamples to my ideas for rules 2 and 3. Hmph.

Sorry.

How does 631 fare?

Breaks only rule 4!


RE: Number Choosing Contest. - Sruixan - 05-18-2016

Right, now I need to figure out what rule 4 is...

RE: Number Choosing Contest. - Kaynato - 05-18-2016

Does 18 really not break rule 2?

In either case I think I've got rules 2 and 3 and 4. Good times. Thank Mathematica for generating my number candidates.

RE: Number Choosing Contest. - Sruixan - 05-18-2016

Kaynato, if I understand what you think rule 4 is correctly, you're going to have to count for quite a while to get something that is also rule 5 compliant.

Up to 33391, to be exact.


RE: Number Choosing Contest. - Kaynato - 05-18-2016

You are not necessarily correct.

In either case, my suspect rule 4 is probably wrong. It feels too simple.

The following numbers should follow rules 1, 2, 3, and 5.

These should confirm whether I am correct about rule 4.

631

2269

5419

9241

33391 (follows all rules if I am correct)

Edit: Oh, as it turns out I miswrote my rule 4 :v

I'll still submit these.


RE: Number Choosing Contest. - Sruixan - 05-18-2016

I agree with you that it seems a bit simple in comparison, and that the numbers you've submitted would then follow the rules that you say they would. I got to 33391 with a calculator rather than Mathematica, but it still stands that it may pass everything...


RE: Number Choosing Contest. - Kaynato - 05-18-2016

The first four numbers in the previous area then should break rule 4.

For extra safety, the following numbers pass rules 1, 2, 3, and 5

42841

114661

260191 (Also rule 4)

351919 (Also rule 4)

1653919 (Also rule 4)

Oh, right, yes it does. Let me change that.
