@Nancy Drew 39
DM me if you cant think of a BINGO solution, i might help you

Fixed, thanks.

You may not help your teammates in private, but you can discuss your cards in the public thread if you want.

If I post my sequence of numbers here, can you help me? @Sirius9121?

[Nancy Drew 39]

@Nancy Drew 39
Post it lol

@Nancy Drew 39: Yeah, you may post your cards in the public thread if you want to.

@D3f3nd3r: V/LA noted. These are the V/LA rules:

While V/LA, I'll nudge you if it's been 48 hours since you've gone and then at the 72 hour mark, I'll go for you, playing your leftmost hand to the topmost sequence it can fit into or passing otherwise.

You can also submit tentative actions by PM if you want to

121, 76, 512, 625, 300, 77, 49

@Sirius, please help.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Another bingo rule approval thing:
All of these numbers mod 14 fit into the range of 6 - 9

Can I give this as my answer? @Plotinus

@Sirius, that would be your answer, right?

(*me - still hopelessly confused*)

[Nancy Drew 39]

Okay, let’s go with that then.

[Nancy Drew 39]

ok
third bingo approval:

In base 8, at least 50% of the numbers are a same repeating digit and the repeating digit is a square of any non-negative integer (0,1,4)

I think this meets all the criteria. Does anyone have any objections to this bingo in particular?

I co-sign on this.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I don't mind it but I think Nancy Drew should get to actually play if she wants to.

I would love to but without an extension, I was no where near figuring out a solve before deadline, unfortunately. :/. So, I’m hoping I get a clue before next round. I honestly didn’t expect this be this hard. I’ve figured out like a gazillion IQ tests with nulbered sequences, so I don’t understand why I’m struggling so much with this game.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I agree that bingos now seem to be overemphasized and should be worth fewer points so the game isn’t entirely trying to find bingos at the cost of the spirit of the game. (not currently a player, just my two cents)

If you have any advice for me on how to play this, I’m absolutely desperate and will 100% listen.

[Nancy Drew 39]

@mod, V/LA until Friday evening. I’ve not been feeling well since Sunday, sorry

I will try but not sure I’ll be well enough to make deadline but I’ll do my best.

[Nancy Drew 39]

12, 20 and 28 divided by 8 leaves a remainder of 4, is my current best guess. If Sirius disagrees, please change my response to his solve. I trust his judgement here over my own.

Your sequence is fine, Nancy.

yea its ok

[Nancy Drew 39]

Nancy, Haversine seems to be catching up. If you don't have any repeating numbers in your hand, I kinda suggest to post it, we seem to really need a bingo rn

2, 14, 64, 35, 2, 144, 56,

[Nancy Drew 39]

you have repeating numbers =-=

i suggest 2,14,35 as Numbers n such that 2^n == 18 (mod n).
its nearly impossible to complete,

@mod, can you please confirm this? Thanks.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Edit: The deadline for outside help has passed, Nancy can do this on her own. We believe in her! --P

Okay, I guess it doesn’t hurt to take a shot. *screaming internally*



2227222

Each number contains either the exact number or a multiple of either 2 or 7 and twice, both of them.

Not the final answer unless time runs out.

[Nancy Drew 39]

The > 50% rule only applies to bingos because bingos are supposed to be rare. To start a sequence, they just have to have something in common with each other without repeats or excluding numbers from a sequence they naturally belong to.

Multiple of two or seven: 2, 14, 64, 35, 144, 56 (6 numbers, but you don't have to play all of them right now, to reduce the chances it'll be completed before it gets back to you)

You could also do one of:
multiple of 2: 2, 14, 64, 144, 56, (5 numbers, or fewer if you don't want to spend them all)
multiple of 7: 14, 35, 56, (3 numbers)

Or something else.

These are all legal moves

Is it to late to change it to the latter?:

multiple of 7: 14, 35, 56 (3 numbers)
FINAL ANSWER

[Nancy Drew 39]

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

I have one repeating number, so I’ll obviously ignore that.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Yeah, you can do it, Nancy!

<3

[Nancy Drew 39]

144, 75, 93

Either multiples of or add up to 12.


@Plotinus, is this okay? If not I have another one involving multiples of 2, so I could do either.

[Nancy Drew 39]

2, 64, 50, 6, 84


Multiples of 2

[Nancy Drew 39]

2, 64, 50, 6, 84


Multiples of 2

I hadn't updated the topic title after her turn so it's understandable that she got confused.

Yeah, I saw my name in the thread title and assumed the game was suddenly moving at lightening speed.

[Nancy Drew 39]

2, 64, 50, 6, 84


Multiples of 2

[Nancy Drew 39]

2, 32, 58

multiples of 2

[Nancy Drew 39]

2, 32, 58

multiples of 2

1. the set 'multiples of two' has already been used
2. dont use that lol, people will 100% steal that and get points 0-0

Well, I don’t know what to do with the rest of the numbers. Are you not allowed to use the same solve twice?

Alright then, cancel if it isn’t allowed. :/

[Nancy Drew 39]

2, 29, 58

2 x 29 = 58.


Better? @Sirius

[Nancy Drew 39]

2, 29, 32, 1

2 + 29 = 32 - 1

[Nancy Drew 39]

2, 29, 58

2 x 29 = 58.


Better? @Sirius

2, 29, 32, 1

2 + 29 = 32 - 1

@Plotinus, are neither of these okay?

?

[Nancy Drew 39]

2, 29, 32, 729, 58

2 + 2 + 9 individually =13, 3 + 2 individually =5. 7+2 +9 individually = 18, which is 5 more than that, then back to 5 + 8 once again = 13’


So: 13, 5, 18, 13

+5, +13, -5

[Nancy Drew 39]

prodding Nancy Drew 39

I’m here, It’s not even 24 hrs yet, is it? I can’t think right now. : :/

[Nancy Drew 39]

Do players dislike the "your timer starts as soon as the last person goes" rule? Would players prefer it to instead start when I update the game?

+1

I definitely would because it gets confusing, like the time before last, when I incorrectly assumed it was my turn again, so I miss it when you don’t update the game first.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I’ll try to come up with something tomorrow.

[Nancy Drew 39]

32, 1, 58, 256

32 -1 = inverse 13, 5 +8 =13, 2 + 5 + 6 =13

Each number or combination of numbers either results in the digit 13 or a flipped 13 or 31 in the case of 32 -1

[Nancy Drew 39]

The way I see it is that you usually have about a few days to think of something from the time to get your cards to the time it's your turn and then you get two days after that, so it's basically a week the way things are right now.

That isn’t really my issue. I need you to update the thread, otherwise I can’t tell whether it’s my turn to post or not and this is evidenced by the fact that one time I incorrectly assumed it was my turn when it wasn’t and had difficulty calculating the amount of time I needed without getting prodded. This might not be a particularly big deal for people who don’t have a learning disability but for those of us with dyslexia, it makes things a helluva a lot unnecessarily stressful when it doesn’t need to be. Now, if you want to allow one day less for the update, to make this a lot clearer, I don’t have an issue with that but I would struggle a lot less in this game, with much clearer updates. Since that wouldn’t have any adverse impact on the game, what is the harm in making it more dyslexia/learning disability friendly?

[Nancy Drew 39]

If we don't hear from Nancy by (expired on 2020-09-24 14:53:55), then the rule will be interpreted as "The card is itself 13, 31; or the digit sum of the card is 13 or 31; or two cards played together have a digit sum of 13, 31; or two cards played together can be added to or subtracted from each other to achieve 13 or 31." I think this is closest to the spirit of what Nancy was trying to say without making the sequence be "whoever goes next gets 11 points".


I think allowing combinations like this doesn't break the game too much because it's never going to come up in a bingo (applies to too much of the deck), so it doesn't put the team that creates the sequence at an unfair point advantage.

Alright fine, let’s go with that then.

[Nancy Drew 39]

729, 29, 26, 1,

The digit “9” is either in the number or a sequence of numbers add up to a multple of it.

72

9

, 2

9

, 26 + 1 = 27, a multiple of

9

[Nancy Drew 39]

There are 6 cards left in the deck. When there is no cards left in the deck, we try to complete the sequences that are in play -- you don't have to start a new sequence if you don't want to but you do have to play at least one card to an existing sequence if you can. The game will end when nobody can make any moves (when all 6 people pass in a row)

I’m not exactly sure what to do now. Can you give me some advice? Thanks.

[Nancy Drew 39]

My lifehack for using maps without knowing left from right is to hold a pen up parallel to the street i'm on, on the map, and turn it in the direction i'm supposed to go, and look if it's going clockwise or counterclockwise. That way, even if i'm facing some weird direction like SW and need to turn to go NNW i can figure out that it's a right turn (because clockwise is always right) even though i'm facing upside down compared to the map.

On sunny days I rely on the sun a lot for navigation because i can use it as a reference point but then I got a bit lost in my home town because it was cloudy one day so I got a compass. It's a lot easier for me to just hang onto one fact like "i want to be northwest of where i am right now so i need for my shadow to stay looking like this" than "I need to make a bunch of turns in a variety of directions"

I also have dyspraxia so I’m lost without familiar landmarks, street signs or nimbers. New York City was one of the few places I never needed to ask for directions.

[Nancy Drew 39]

29, 21, 27

All are double digit numbers starting with the number 2.

Fixed.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Neither of you can complete any sequences, even when combining your numbers, we can just call it a game if you'd rather.

Congrats to Sirius9121 and Nancy Drew 39!

Thank you to everyone for sticking it out.

Let's take a week to propose rule changes and collect new signups.

Bingos are worth 8 points. The rules for a sequence must apply to at least 10 unique cards in the deck. Players may only post their hand during the first round of the first game that they are playing, after that they will need to ask for advice without revealing their cards.

\o/ I wasn’t sure we’d win because there were still other numbers to play. I had fun and look fwd to playing again.

[Nancy Drew 39]

All right, we'll be glad to have you back when you're ready

Have you considered possibly varying it maybe with letters? I’d still /in but that might really switch things up?

[Nancy Drew 39]

I feel like I'm destroying everyone's fun...

Sorry, and GG to everyone
I'll backup if you cant find enough players...

If it weren’t for your help, I probably would have outed. I was completely lost for the longest time and I don’t think I could have done this without you.

[Nancy Drew 39]

What do you mean by "add up to a multiple of 7?" I'd thought you meant "add the digits together; the result is a multiple of 7", but 1+6+5 = 12, which isn't a multiple of 7 (and 165 doesn't have a 7 in it), so I must be misinterpreting you.

16 + 5 = 21, which is a multiple of 7.

Ah, okay. So with a three-digit number, you can take two of the digits as a two-digit number. Makes sense.

@mod you made a mistake here. The credit for the triple digit sequence should go to me. I couldn’t understand how this happened but I see right here in #1396, you gave the wrong player the credit.

@mod, in 1424 how does Sirius/NM get my sequence when I’m the one who posted those 3 triple digit numbers?

I thought that might have changed later but I don’t understand how a sequence I made with the same exact 3 numbers that were directly quoted in my post not credited to me?

45, 81, 90

Digits all add up to 9

Is this game still going on?

[Nancy Drew 39]

He’s fine but I haven’t asked him about the game.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Bump

@Plotinus, can we possibly resume this game?

I guess with Sirius as co-mod, we’d need to start over which I’m fine with.

[Nancy Drew 39]

We actually don't really need to? We can just disassemble the teams, count the points in contribution, and we can keep running in a 1v1v1v1v1?

I honestly think that would be way too confusing and so much time has passed anyway. I would prefer a total reboot but I’ll go along with the majority on this.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Start a new sequence: 2, 29, 25 as numbers with the digit 2 in them.

[Nancy Drew 39]

How am I supposed to have any idea it’s my turn when I didn’t receive a pm and NM’s name is still in the title?

[Nancy Drew 39]

I've PMed nancy to ask her to weigh in

Can you explain to me how they’re similar? @Farren?

(I’ve not been feeling well and can barely see our of one eye).

[Nancy Drew 39]

The question is: can you add one number to the sequence if that number plus two other numbers in the sequence follow the same pattern?

8 and 52 are already there; 8 + 52 = 60; 60 reversed is (0)6. So could I play a 6 to that sequence, using that logic?

Okay I get the 8 + 52 but can you explain the 6?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Reversing 60's digits turns it into 06 - drop the leading zero as it's meaningless and that leaves 6.

I guess that’s okay. @Plotinus, do you think it’s the same or not?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Nancy has been prodded.

Hi, sorry. I have an extremely inflamed and swollen eye and I can barely see because of the pain. I’ll try my best though.

I’ve set my control panel to v/la.
