All-Ten's (1,2,5,9) = 4 from yesterday and (2,2,5,5) = 8 from today required some thought.
Need to find better challenges.

Modifying an agmath.com puzzle slightly to fit the discussion:
Quote:

Whenever you meet two of the Dallas sisters (assuming the two you meet are always a random pair), there is a 50% chance that they will both be blonde. If three of the Jones sisters are blonde, how many Dallas sisters are there altogether?

It's a trick question. He didnt specify curtains or drapes.

They didn't provide an answer, but I agree that it's four.
3/4 * 2/(4-1) = 1/2

Commutative 2 on a 2/6 chance.

4 *1, /1, or +1 cost me a guess. Should have avoided that 0

Targets 3.3 took a while
(1,5,9,10,11,50) = 137

NYT Pips hard level was more challenging today
(but you can use math to help solve it)
64 = 15+10+8+4(3)+3A+2B+3offs

3 missing a 1/4 chance for 2

I actually typed in the solution at 2, but changed it because 2 of the other possibilities had overlap.

Routine 3

Regular puzzles were meh, so back to a modified agmath.com puzzle:

Quote:

Rock the good Ag has three labeled dresser drawers full of socks. One drawer has all maroon socks. Another drawer has all white socks. A third drawer has both maroon and white socks. His cousin, Sippy, snook in and purposely mislabeled all of the drawers. Rock chooses a drawer and reaches in without looking and pulls out a white sock. He is able to correctly label all of the drawers. What is his strategy?

Key is that Sippy mislabeled ALL the drawers.

The drawer labeled "Maroon and White" has to be Maroon OR White, so by pulling a white sock out of that drawer Rock knows that this is the White drawer.

The other two drawers are also mislabeled: the drawer labeled "Maroon" contains maroon and white socks, with the final drawer labeled "White" containing maroon socks.

I beg your collective ****ing pardon, good sirs, but take it to the Logic Thread. This here's for Nerdling. Also, logic is hard after Thanksgiving meal and drinks.

Also, 3.

I could have done a probing guess at 3 to solve it 4, but I decided to keep doing real guesses.

Long story short: today I nerdled like old people ****.
