Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

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

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)

LOL 190 nice

how do you click on the right tab

memory and a little guesswork

ALSO i’m actually doing a simplified problem
I’m just trying to get an algorithm that will minimize the worst case number of guesses, imagining there isn’t another team, as opposed to one that competes against the other team to try to maximize win percentage

FUCK YOU GUYS looking through old chat logs for A Modest Proposal caused me to get beaned. Your fault

it’s possible I could find more accurate lower and upper bounds though
if I can make them the same and find an algorithm that can meet that, it would be an optimal* algorithm

I think the people I talk to occasionally for Flight Risingn management stuff have some of the most interesting picture of me because I’ve changed somewhat in presentation style over the years but little to none of the change has occurred there. They just see me go from lowercase nonsense to like a relatively formal style of typing with no context for that whatsoever
