Koshi's riddle #1

If the guy in the middle says the opposite of what he sees in front of him, and then the guy behind him too, the third should know his own color?

1 in front. 3 in back.

#2: I am black -> #1 knows he white
#3: I am white -> # 2 knows he black
#1: knows from #2 hes white

in any other case #3 knows what he is just from the 2 colors in front. My try I guess


White/black/white

If first says black and fails, 2 and 3 knows the guy is white

If second is seeing a white hat in front of him, he knows his hat is black. Puzzle solved.


Even if you make it white/white/black

First one says "black" and fails, confirms a white
Then middle says "black" and fails, confirms another white
Since first saw two different colors, the third knows he is the opposite color from the Middle, so he will always say "black", also because two whites were confirmed lol

Hi everybody. I'm a kush smurf.
This game I am going to try hard to work on read accuracy.

I just did a quick read through. Exo gave me mafia feels in his few posts, but that doesn't mean much.

I liked hf's first post. Then ness said he needed to write a lot in defense. Ness, I urge you to write as little as possible while still honestly addressing hf's concerns.



Why are you blowing your smurf?

Alliens have conquered the earth and decided to eat the dumb people first and finish with the smartest people. To decide the order in how they eat people they invented a couple of test. If a group succeeds to solve the riddle within 3 minutes they are spared, otherwise they get eaten. Let's assume the group gets told the rules of the riddle before and then can come up with a plan together. So that they only need 1 smart person in each group to survive another day.

1) First riddle
setup:
- People can only look forward.
- People cannot move/speak/signal each other in a "cheaty" way. (your guts should tell you what is allowed)
- People got told there are 2 black hats and 1 white hat OR there are 2 white hats and 1 black hat.

goal:
- A person needs to correctly yell out the color of his hat. If he can do that all 3 are spared. (so black or white is the first word anybody can say)
[image loading]

question:
- How will they solve it? (Let's assume the picture has the randomized set-up which the players didn't know beforehand obviously)


2) second riddle
setup:
- People can only look forward.
- People cannot move/speak/signal each other in a "cheaty" way. (your guts should tell you what is allowed)
- People get told they have either a black hat or a white hat on their head.

goal:
- Yell out the color of your hat. Out of the 9 people max 1 person can be wrong. In this riddle person 1 starts, then 2, 3, 4, etc till 9.

[image loading]
question:
- How will they solve it? (Let's assume the picture has the randomized set-up which the players didn't know beforehand obviously)


1)
The person that can see the 2 hats in front of him yells a color. If he gets it wrong, it means he was already seeing two different colors. This confirms his color as the opposite.
Then the middle guy yells another color based on the color he is seeing in front on him and the other color that is confirmed.

The first person who yells out a color needs to be correct. Otherwise they all die.

1) If the back person sees two of the same colour hat then the puzzle is easy and he can say the opposite. If he sees two different colours such as the picture then he should stay silent which indicates to the second person that there are two different colours. The person in front will be able to see the colour and so can yell out the colour on the top of his head easily.

In your picture it would be:

Back person: *Silence*
Middle person: "Hmm the person in front of me is a white hat which must mean my hat is black!"


2) Are they allowed to formulate a plan beforehand?

Yeah, Ive read HF's answer. I got the basic reasoning right, just didn't reached the conclusion that the first guy could communicate he was seeing two colors by just being silent :/

Yes, glowing bear you haven't played any games with me before, so i'm just going to assume you're town right now. But you jumping to me as mafia for asking questions...?

Tell me, why do you think i'm mafia in a logical manner.


cuz you asked useless personal questions most of which can be answered by looking @ the DB that don't lead to mafia in any obvious way.

tho town GB mostly just calls you dumb or worthless there instead of mafia, so GB might be mafia; juzzayin.

Mafia experience? Thats not a personal question. It shows how experienced someone is. Thats why i asked it.


http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/mafia/390080-tl-mafia-database

you can look up everyone's names! see how many games on these forums they have played, get the results of those games, and even view their filters for said games. it answers almost all of your questions.

I'm new to team liquid, so i guess my questions strategie doesn't work here.

But i didn't know that, but what i meant was mafia experience as a whole. Not just their TL mafia, but on other forums as well. I know for an absolute fact there has to some veteran mafia players in here.

I guess my forums can't exactly help with that, i'll look up names later.

but in the mean time, who do you guys think is town aligned?


this is a dumb angle since we all know each other and dont.


Here is a smart angle, what is your mafia experience?

You didn't even read the questions post, hun <3

10 games c:

but that sudden attack on me? Its interesting, for numerous reasons.


how in gods name can that be interpreted as an "attack"

first one is correct


Since they can come up with a plan beforehand and I presume that they can hear every other person's response then they should formulate the plan that the person with the perfect information (Number 1 in the picture) should sacrifice himself to relay that information to everyone else.

The strategy should be that player 1 says "Black" if he can see an even amount of black hats or "White" if he can see an odd amount of black hats. This way if person 1 is wrong then everyone else can determine the colour of their hat based on how many of each colour they can see and the person 1's fate.

The situation would go as follows:

As person 1 can only see 5 black hats then he should exclaim the aforementioned planned phrase of, "White".

Person 1 does not explode as he has a white hat.

Person 2 now knows there are an odd amount of black hats as Person 1 did not die but can only see 4 black hats, he therefore knows that he has a black hat and shouts, "Black".

!!!
That one was really hard.


I wish I had Holyflare's intelligence

Hi everybody. I'm a kush smurf.
This game I am going to try hard to work on read accuracy.

I just did a quick read through. Exo gave me mafia feels in his few posts, but that doesn't mean much.

I liked hf's first post. Then ness said he needed to write a lot in defense. Ness, I urge you to write as little as possible while still honestly addressing hf's concerns.



Why are you blowing your smurf?


wait a minute... you guys do remember the sicklucker rule right?


Wait until he answers

To honor the last good big game I played I will post 2 riddles here as well. The first one to get both answers right will never be voted by me (till D4) and gets 1 wish to be used during the game. Wishing for multiple wishes is not allowed.


Alliens have conquered the earth and decided to eat the dumb people first and finish with the smartest people. To decide the order in how they eat people they invented a couple of test. If a group succeeds to solve the riddle within 3 minutes they are spared, otherwise they get eaten. Let's assume the group gets told the rules of the riddle before and then can come up with a plan together. So that they only need 1 smart person in each group to survive another day.

1) First riddle
setup:
- People can only look forward.
- People cannot move/speak/signal each other in a "cheaty" way. (your guts should tell you what is allowed)
- People got told there are 2 black hats and 1 white hat OR there are 2 white hats and 1 black hat.

goal:
- A person needs to correctly yell out the color of his hat. If he can do that all 3 are spared. (so black or white is the first word anybody can say)
[image loading]

question:
- How will they solve it? (Let's assume the picture has the randomized set-up which the players didn't know beforehand obviously)


2) second riddle
setup:
- People can only look forward.
- People cannot move/speak/signal each other in a "cheaty" way. (your guts should tell you what is allowed)
- People get told they have either a black hat or a white hat on their head.

goal:
- Yell out the color of your hat. Out of the 9 people max 1 person can be wrong. In this riddle person 1 starts, then 2, 3, 4, etc till 9.

[image loading]
question:
- How will they solve it? (Let's assume the picture has the randomized set-up which the players didn't know beforehand obviously)



+ Show Spoiler +
1) If the back person sees two of the same colour hat then the puzzle is easy and he can say the opposite. If he sees two different colours such as the picture then he should stay silent which indicates to the second person that there are two different colours. The person in front will be able to see the colour and so can yell out the colour on the top of his head easily.

In your picture it would be:

Back person: *Silence*
Middle person: "Hmm the person in front of me is a white hat which must mean my hat is black!"


2) Are they allowed to formulate a plan beforehand?

^^your long posts remind me a bit of someone i play with

Town reads-HolyFlare, Aramis or whoever you say his username.

But Ness! Shouldn't there be more town reads?

To be blunt, i'm lazy. I'm diabetic and i'm at 340 (which is bad.)
I'll go back and do more later, thats just the majority of whom i think is town atm.


Much more important than who is town

Who is Mafia?

Dude if you're town, calm down. Peoole here will call you Mafia for a big range of reasons, and we usually call each other stupid/dumb in a regular basis without actually having the intention to offend or to really mean you are an overall stupid person

He has been present since then and is only concerned with Koshi's riddle in the meantime.


As another candidate I also think GB could be mafia;

His posts towards N E S S were barebones and unable to really follow up on anything meaningful and his suspicion has seemingly been dropped off the planet since then, he was in fact more concerned with being accused by rsoultin and trying to get her to change her mind rather than following up with N E S S:

It's not an attempt to discredit, dear. I think you are wrong instead of Mafia, and knowing that you were wrong on me before reinforces the perspective where you're town here.

Are you or are you not concerned about the responses of your initial scum read? To me it looks like you want to take him to a nice spa and give him a massage while you regale him with tales of your youthful antics.

You haven't questioned N E S S at all.


I didn't? I am questioning and I'm also letting you question him and evaluating what has been said. I asked him for his scum reads, he picked sicklucker. He said he was going to give his town reads later, and you asked a good question about his defense which has yet to be answered. I'm waiting for it. Meanwhile I am trying to gather informstion about other players.

So what if I ask him to calm down? I don't know his alignment and he has a chance on being town legit upset. I don't understand why I can't be kind to a newbie even when I have a slight scum read on him

I am placated by your response for now and question why you are not lynching Vivax with me or Ticktock with Rayn.


What does placated means?

I have no reason to vote any of them. Maybe Tictock, but Vivax is most likely a null atm than a scum read
