Another puzzle

Jan 18, 2010 11:40

This is an old classic (and not as finicky as my last one in that it's a truly workable solution that applies to real life--none of that junk about relying on humans to be intelligent ( Read more... )

Are we also assuming a strict one-to-one correspondance, where one switch turns on one light, no more and no less?

my_aerie January 18 2010, 21:47:14 UTC

Yes. Again, there are no tricks here, just distance between you and the lights in question. :)

Heehee, you did indeed, but you were right! :) Maybe next time you'll get luckier on timing. :)

Hehehe, oldy but goody, I like that one. But I wont answer, I just wanted to say that I love these, and I'm kinda thinking about doing something similar on my LJ...but I feel like not enough people either read, OR comment on mine. I mean, I did a meme where you left a comment saying your interested, and if you were in the first 5, I make you something and send it out to them. One person responded.

I remember working in groups to solve this one in an elementary school GT class. :D

I'd love to see you do somethin similar! I'd participate!! I looooove logic puzzles and the like...I'm right now trying to puzzle through the Puzzle Master Hat problem...I've got a place to find the solution, but I really wanna figure it out myself before I cheat! :P

I never get a lot of responses to the 'comment and I'll send you something' memes either, I chalk it up to people not wanting to post it themselves and feeling guilty commenting on other memes without putting up one of their own...

Right you are, sir! (Incidentally, I was careful to include the unlimited time bit specifically to encourage this answer, so huzzah!)
