Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

TO be fair it already takes forever for me to sleep many nights so it’s not a big difference is it

I’ll concede that amongus technically released a few months before these screenshots but none of us knew what it was at that point. So no I didn’t recognise amongus line

also ngl in my algorithms class we’re learning about optimization problems and i’m thinking “cool but our assignment is like 100x easier to code than COMBINATORICS MAFIA”

we’re doing the same type of problems
where we do an exhaustive search over all the possibilities (and soonTM we’ll prune the bad ones to skip a lot of them)

however COMBINATORICS MAFIA has way harder pruning and way more possibilities if you don’t prune

Would it be easier to determine optimal strategy and then implement the strategy rather than sorting through every possibility? Or is that the approach you’re taking

“Fastest way to sort shit into piles” has certainly been done before


me trying to talk through reasoning in the comments :joy_cat:

determining optimal strategy is. very hard
the program is trying to determine the optimal strategy (where optimal means the lowest number of guesses in the worst case)
