Would I be able to /in for next yet or should I wait?

[D3f3nd3r]

You can /in for next now

Do we want to discuss any rule changes for the next game? I think we should use a little bit smaller deck.

Alright then, /in for next

And I don’t know enough to actually have any rule suggestions, I don’t think!

[D3f3nd3r]

Plot, the yellow isnt

great

but should definitely be manageable.

[D3f3nd3r]

Second and third ones are better but they might get confused with Exsecant? Gold is worse than what it currently is, though (at least on MafSepia).

[D3f3nd3r]

I changed exsecant from orange to chocolate and chord from yellow to goldenrod:

haversine

,

exsecant

,

chord

I can move things around more if anybody needs me to

Looks good to me, could you change exsecant on the OP please?

[D3f3nd3r]

Darkorange is way too similar to whatever chord is. Not sure what the issue with exsecant in post 886 was?

[D3f3nd3r]

Mod: Power out, limited access until it comes back

[D3f3nd3r]

It does apply to 40% of the numbers in this game which is close to our 50%, but sure.

And yes, IMO watching Sirius play solitaire all game will get unfun very quickly if it hasn’t already.

[D3f3nd3r]

Keep up Haversine’s idea by playing

8, 10, and 40 as “numbers that, when spelled normally in English, have no duplicated letters

(ie. the number 1,000,000 wouldn’t count due to both the “N” and the “L”).

[D3f3nd3r]

(oops)

[D3f3nd3r]

Played out of order, oops. Can restore my post if necessary.

[D3f3nd3r]

Power back, V/LA is over

[D3f3nd3r]

Okay let’s go very weird and go with:

69, 529, and 14 as “integer multiples of the jersey numbers from the starters on the Los Angeles Lakers in their game on August 13” (those jersey numbers are 23, 88, 5, 7, and 14)

[D3f3nd3r]

Saw that 529 was 23 squared, and for some reason my first thought was “LEBRON?”

[D3f3nd3r]

Tens digit is congruent to 0 or 1 in mod 5? Is that too much of a stretch?

[D3f3nd3r]

Can also use ones digit is equivalent to 1 or 3 in mod 5.

[D3f3nd3r]

Could also try numbers within eight of a perfect cube? That hits exactly 50 of 1-100 but the percentage shrinks considerably when you look at a larger range.

[D3f3nd3r]

equal to 0/3/6/9/11 mod 12, i believe?

Does that hold for things above 88 as well? I don’t know if the lowest and highest keys on a keyboard are a half-step (plus however many octaves) apart or not.

Edit oh I can’t read

[D3f3nd3r]

Play 18, 29, 37, 82 as Numbers whose digit sum is between 9 and 11 inclusive

[D3f3nd3r]

Following Nancy's move I will

play 1, 5, 400, 500, 700 to complete the set of numbers with only one nonzero digit.

[D3f3nd3r]

I’m incredibly confused by what that actually means

[D3f3nd3r]

Your team still has a multiple-bingo lead though and had as many points as both of our teams combined until the last turn, “catching up” seems like a bit of a stretch

[D3f3nd3r]

Not seeing anything obvious, unfortunately And I don't think there's a way to complete any of the sequences that are up there at the moment...

[D3f3nd3r]

Post your numbers IF AND ONLY IF you do not have any repeating numbers, Nancy.

Or, alternatively, see if you can get anything and then post them if you aren't able to think of something

[D3f3nd3r]

Add 13, 16, 343 to numbers containing a double letter when written out

[D3f3nd3r]

Couldn’t think of anything, will try again once I finish having to do “real” math

[D3f3nd3r]

Play 74 and 50 to complete the multiples of two.

[D3f3nd3r]

Post your numbers IF AND ONLY IF you do not have any repeating numbers, Nancy.

Or, alternatively, see if you can get anything and then post them if you aren't able to think of something

[D3f3nd3r]

Doesn’t work since there’s no definition for what the rest of the sequence would look like.

[D3f3nd3r]

Same problem, how do we know what other numbers go into the sequence?

[D3f3nd3r]

10, 13, 19, 81, 67, 16, 64

@SC This is so close but I can't find something that works. I feel like "digit sum is congruent to 1 in mod 3 or 8" is a bit too much of a stretch, but it does work (and obviously I'd like to play that if it's fine).

[D3f3nd3r]

Yeah that works, let’s do that one then

[D3f3nd3r]

We're still 21 behind you!

[D3f3nd3r]

I mean “find something obscure that works for four of the nine digits and then tie that to the first digit” has basically been 2/3 of Sirius’s turns

[D3f3nd3r]

Also it wasn’t a bingo so it doesn’t matter what the rule was.

[D3f3nd3r]

There’s also the “starts” case, which will be slightly more likely because there are only nine possibilities

[D3f3nd3r]

I can run a simulation later today if we're still curious

[D3f3nd3r]

Couldn't actually simulate it, but I plugged it into a binomial random variable calculator ("success" probability 0.4444444, N = 7, x = 7) and got that the chance of a hand having four specific first digits is 0.342%, but we multiply this by 9C4 (126) we get a 43.16% chance of this generating something. Combined with a 34.4% chance of getting something from last digits, there's a 61.5% chance that a sequence can be generated like this. Though this contradicts what Vincent said so I'm not entirely sure it's right.

[D3f3nd3r]

One is valid, the concern is with the exponent being 1 (because otherwise you’d be able to say any number is a perfect power because itself to the first is itself).

[D3f3nd3r]

Idk I’m still really confused about what the concept of that would look like. Would I be allowed to do things with other numbers in the sequence too (ie. with 58 already played, could I hypothetically play 45 because 58 - 45 = 13)?

[D3f3nd3r]

Would I be allowed to do things with other numbers in the sequence too (ie. with 58 already played, could I hypothetically play 45 because 58 - 45 = 13)?

[D3f3nd3r]

Play 1, 6, 12 to complete Haversine's top sequence

and finally go full-circle from where we started this game

[D3f3nd3r]

Wait I only played 3 cards, why did the number of cards left in the deck go from 48 to 41?

[D3f3nd3r]

That'd do it, thanks for fixing

[D3f3nd3r]

Out of curiosity how did you come up with that last one?

[D3f3nd3r]

Vincent if you (have no duplicates, and) want to post your hand I’d be down to try and help you find a bingo, so that Sirius won’t be able to pick up seven numbers after the one he inevitably plays next turn

[D3f3nd3r]

My understanding of the doubleletter sequence is that the letter is repeated immediately: thirt

ee

n, sixt

een

, thr

ee

hundred forty thr

ee

, but D3f3nd3r can clarify what they meant

Yeah that’s what I meant. I thought I clarified it, but I ISO’d myself and I guess I didn’t...sorry.

[D3f3nd3r]

Nancy, post your numbers on your turn IF you dont have any repeating numbers.

Or, alternatively, see if you can get anything and then post them if you aren't able to think of something

[D3f3nd3r]

Yeah, that’s true - if that’s what I meant then any number greater than 100 would have worked, as well as any number between 20-39, 50-59, 70-79, 90-99, and more.

[D3f3nd3r]

(Which makes me realize that my “no duplicated letters” is a LOT harder to complete than I thought it was when I made it!)

[D3f3nd3r]

He may also mean "start" as the least significant digit. Can't think of anything else, because 52 starts with a 5 otherwise.

[D3f3nd3r]

basically start with a 2 or 4

By “start” do you mean most significant digit or least? Like would 237 be okay or would 732 be? And in the latter case presumably something like 70 would be fine too?

[D3f3nd3r]

So no ending in zero? That’s still an even digit less than five!

[D3f3nd3r]

You can’t play the same number twice in a sequence

[D3f3nd3r]

Sorry EP

Play 91 and 55 to complete the 2024 sequence

[D3f3nd3r]

All of the ones digits are 0, 1, 4, or 5, but I’m trying to figure out how we use that.

[D3f3nd3r]

“Ones digit is a perfect square or sum of perfect squares” captures those four possibilities and 9, which would be half of the digits and should be okay?

[D3f3nd3r]

Oh yeah I guess that would also work, thanks EP

[D3f3nd3r]

4 and 0

[D3f3nd3r]

Play 80 and 10 to complete the sequence Nancy just started

[D3f3nd3r]

Add 225 to {7n+1}

[D3f3nd3r]

(I think you forgot to remove the multiples/digit sum of 10 sequence I finished the turn before last from the board)
