Baguenaudier From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Baguenaudier (also known as the Chinese Rings, Cardan's Suspension, or five pillars puzzle) is a mechanical puzzle featuring a double loop of string which must be disentangled from a sequence of rings on interlinked pillars. The puzzle is thought to have been invented originally in China. Stewart Culin provided that it was invented by the Chinese general Zhuge Liang in the 2nd century AD. The name "Baguenaudier", however, is French. In fact, the earliest description of the puzzle in Chinese history was written by Yang Shen, a scholar in 16th century in his Dan Qian Zong Lu (Preface to General Collections of Studies on Lead). Édouard Lucas, the inventor of the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, was known to have come up with an elegant solution which used binary and Gray codes, in the same way that his puzzle can be solved. Variations of the include The Devil's Staircase, Devil's Halo and the Impossible Staircase. Another similar puzzle is the Giant's Causeway which uses a separate pillar with an embedded ring.

  • Metrics for Better Puzzles 1 Introduction
    Metrics for Better Puzzles Cameron Browne Computational Creativity Group Imperial College London [email protected] Abstract. While most chapters of this book deal with run-time telemetry observed from user data, we turn now to a different type of metric, namely design-time metrics for level generation. We describe Hour Maze, a new type of pure deduction puzzle, and outline methods for the automated generation and solution of lev- els. Solution involves a deductive search that estimates a level’s iterative and strategic depth. This information, together with sym- metry analysis of wall and hint distributions, provides useful met- rics with which levels may be classified and described. Results from a user survey indicate that players’ enjoyment of computer- designed levels may be affected by their perception of whether those levels are indeed computer-designed or handcrafted by hu- mans. We suggest ways in which puzzle metrics may be used to increase the perception of intelligence and personality behind level designs, to make them more interesting for players. Keywords. Logic puzzle; Hour Maze; Nikoli; deductive search; quality metrics; procedural content generation. 1 Introduction The current crop of smart phones and handheld game devices are the ideal plat- form for logic puzzles, which are enjoying a surge in popularity due to the main- stream success of titles such as Sudoku and Kakuro. Such puzzles can be played easily on small screens without losing any of their appeal, and can provide a deep, engaging playing experience while being conveniently short and self-contained. Fig. 1 shows a new logic puzzle called Hour Maze currently under develop- ment for iOS devices.

  • Grade 7 & 8 Math Circles Logic Puzzles Introduction Strategies
    Faculty of Mathematics Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1 Grade 7 & 8 Math Circles October 29/30, 2013 Logic Puzzles Introduction Mathematics isn't at all about memorizing formulas or doing procedures over and over. It's all about thinking logically, finding patterns and connections, and solving problems. A logic puzzle is a problem, challenge, or game that requires the player to use forms of critical thinking to arrive at a solution. Strategies Some tips to keep in mind when solving logic puzzles: • Read and reread the problem until you fully understand it and its goals. • Organize your information in a chart or diagram to focus only on relevant points. • Use logical reasoning to eliminate options. • Tackle simpler sub problems, but keep the big picture in mind. • List out all of the possibilities if you can, and use \guess and check". • Take it one step at a time. • Use a puzzle's rules and guidelines to double-check your work. • Be persistent. If you become stuck, remember that these problems are meant to be fun! The most important thing to remember when working on logic puzzles is that they are logical; every step has to make sense and be verifiable. 1 Sudoku The goal when filling out a sudoku is to enter a number from 1 to 9 in each box of the puzzle. Each row, column, and outlined 3 × 3 region must contain each number only once. Example I 2D-Sudoku Fill every row, columns, and shaded diagonal with the numbers from 1 to 5. Example II 2 Minesweeper Draw a mine in some cells of the grid.

LaGaly, R. A. Fox and A. Bruck. Chicago: Chicago Linguistic Society. A simple solution to the hardest logic puzzle ever Brian Rabern & Landon Rabern We present the simplest solution ever to ‘the hardest logic puzzle ever’. We then modify the puzzle to make it even harder and give a simple solution to the modified puzzle. The final sections investigate exploding god-heads and a two-question solution to the original puzzle. 1. The simplest solution to the ‘hard’ puzzle The puzzle. Three gods A, B, and C are called, in some order, ‘True’, ‘False’, and ‘Random’. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own lan- guage, in which the words for ‘yes’ and ‘no’ are ‘da’ and ‘ja’, in some order. You do not know which word means which.1 1 Boolos 1996: 62. The so-called ‘hardest logic puzzle ever’ is coined as such by George Boolos. Boolos credits the logician Raymond Smullyan as the originator of the puzzle and the computer scientist John McCarthy with adding the difficulty of not knowing what ‘da’ and ‘ja’ mean.

Rigid body disentanglement puzzles are challenging for both humans and 1 INTRODUCTION motion planning algorithms because their solutions involve tricky twisting The Piano Mover’s Problem asks whether one can move a piano and sliding moves that correspond to navigating through narrow tunnels in between rooms through a sequence of rigid-body motions. This the puzzle’s configuration space (C-space). We propose a tunnel-discovery problem has inspired a great deal of work in computational geometry and planning strategy for solving these puzzles. First, we locate important features on the pieces using geometric heuristics and machine learning, and and robotics because it has a vast number of practical applications, then match pairs of these features to discover collision free states in the from collision-free navigation in automated warehouses, to path puzzle’s C-space that lie within the narrow tunnels. Second, we propose planning in pharmaceutical drug design. Rigid disentanglement a Rapidly-exploring Dense Tree (RDT) motion planner variant that builds puzzles are an interesting variant of the problem because they are tunnel escape roadmaps and then connects these roadmaps into a solution specifically designed to be difficult to take apart: they are notoriously path connecting start and goal states.

    Curso 2012/13 CIENCIAS Y TECNOLOGÍAS/23 I.S.B.N.: 978-84-15910-90-9 SANTIAGO BASALDÚA LEMARCHAND Monte-Carlo tree search using expert knowledge: an application to computer go and human genetics Directores J. MARCOS MORENO VEGA CARLOS A. FLORES INFANTE SOPORTES AUDIOVISUALES E INFORMÁTICOS Serie Tesis Doctorales ciencias 23 (Santiago Basaldúa Lemarchand).indd 1 18/02/2014 11:24:43 Universidad de La Laguna Abstract Monte-Carlo Tree Search Using Expert Knowledge: An Application to Computer Go and Human Genetics During the years in which the research described in this PhD dissertation was done, Monte-Carlo Tree Search has become the preeminent algorithm in many AI and computer science fields. This dissertation analyzes how expert knowledge and also online learned knowledge can be used to enhance the search. The work describes two different implementations: as a two player search in computer go and as an optimization method in human genetics. It is established that in large problems MCTS has to be combined with domain specific or online learned knowledge to improve its strength. This work analyzes different successful ideas about how to do it, the resulting findings and their implications, hence improving our insight of MCTS. The main contributions to the field are: an analytical mathematical model improving the understanding of simulations, a problem definition and a framework including code and data to compare algorithms in human genetics and three successful implementations: in the field of 19x19 go openings named M-eval, in the field of learning playouts and in the field of genetic etiology. Also, an open source integer representation of proportions as Win/Loss States (WLS), a negative result in the field of playouts, an unexpected finding of a possible problem in optimization and further insight on the limitations of MCTS are worth mentioning.
