I realized I had nothing more to learn from them and I had nothing more to contribute, so I left.
Also, that's pretty dangerous logic. If you simply don't care about thinking, you'll end up with many, many regrets. Even if you don't ask for them or try to ignore them, they'll still be there.
Just fyi. :4link:
What I'm saying is, I don't need to think about the silliest of replies. I don't work like that.
Everyone has regrets over something.

Hey guys! I have a question.

You have 2 identical vases, their fragility impossible to determine. You are next to a 100-floor building, and you want to find out at exactly which floor the vases will break at. You don't know what floor that might be - it could be floor 1, or floor 100 or anything in between!

If you drop a vase on any given floor and it doesn't break, you can throw it again. Obviously if it breaks then you're not going to be able to put it together and try again. :p

So, what is the most efficient way to find out what floor the vases break at guaranteed - or in other words, the least amount of throws you need to make to guarantee you know what floor it is even if it's the very last floor you test.

(I just love riddles you see <3 )


Dat pecking order! ;)

Start from the very beginning: the first floor.
That's the obvious answer, isn't it?

Well, no, because, what if it's not the first floor?

The trick is to find how many throws you have to make in a worst-case scenario. It's the system you use that matters :3

Also riddler is one of my favourite Batman enemies, usually because Batman actually has to figure them out instead of dodge them like some silly god-mode sue hero. ;)

throw one vase off of every other floor starting with 2 then when it breaks go down one floor and throw the other one off to see if it breaks.

Great start!

So if you do it that way, the worst possible case scenario is you get up to floor 100 and then go back to 99 where it breaks. In a worst case scenario, this system would make it a potential 50 throws.


You can get more efficient. :D

I would throw one vase per floor starting on the second floor and work my way up using the even numbered floors (2,4,6,8). If the vase breaks on any of those floors, I go down one floor and see if it breaks on that one.

Drop the vases from increments of 10. So 10th floor, 20th floor, etc. Then when the vase break, go to the previous floor you threw the vase and then drop it from increments of 1. So vase one breaks on floor 30. Then the next throws will be from floors 21, 22, 23, and so on.

Using that system, it should take 19 throws max to determine it's fragility.

Poke Ball confirmed for more effective than Dusk Ball. I got 1 shake with a Poke Ball but no shakes with 2 Dusk Balls.

And so my dream of posting on the first page of a new Social Thread still hasn't been realized. Well, looks like I'll be here until 7.0 at least.
Basically this. I turn my back for a moment...
