Zendo Questions III

[StrangerCoug]

After more than eight years, it's back!

The rules are mostly the same from when Packbat and Feirei ran the game with a few changes and additions. Please read everything carefully.

RULES

1. Each round, there is one Oracle and a flock of Petitioners.
   
2. At the beginning of the round, the Oracle invents a secret rule, completely mechanical, based on - and solely on - the exact wording of the questions asked. This rule will, given the exact wording of a question, tell the Oracle to reply either "Yes" or "No". Examples include:
   • Any question with an even number of words, reply "Yes"; otherwise, reply "No".
     
   • Any question beginning with a consonant, reply "Yes"; otherwise, reply "No".
   Effective June 25, 2022, the Oracle starts by giving one question that would be answered "yes" and one question that would be answered "no" for free.
   
   Bear in mind that, first, any overly-complicated rule (e.g. "Any question whose SHA-1 hash ends with an even number, say 'No'; otherwise, say 'Yes'") will get you mocked and shunned; second, every rule is more complicated than it initially appears; and third,
   if you screw up three times, you must concede
   (and thereby become an object of pity and lose 1d6 points of respect).
   
3. During the round, any Petitioner (i.e. anyone other than the Oracle) may either ask questions, or attempt to guess the rule. Each question asked shall be answered in order by the Oracle, according to the rule. Guesses the Oracle shall deal with in one of exactly two ways:
   • By conceding, and revealing the rule that had been used.
     
   • By replying with a question whose answer is different under the actual rule than according to the guess.
   For example: if the rule is "beginning with a consonant = yes" and someone guesses "beginning with a W = yes", the Oracle might say, "Had it the ability, would a woodchuck chuck wood?"
   
   The Oracle shall include in each post answering questions and responding to guesses a list of all prior questions, answers, guesses, and responses.
   
4. After the Oracle answers 50 questions (questions provided by the Oracle as counterexamples to incorrect guesses count, but not the two free questions), the Petitioners may ask for one hint. Another hint may be requested after the 75th question has been answered. There is a limit of 100 questions per rule, after which the Petitioners may ask for one final hint before they collectively have three more chances to guess the rule. If the three guesses have been made and the rule still hasn't been guessed, the Oracle wins and reveals the rule. The Oracle then has the option of choosing another rule or allowing someone else to do so (though see rule 6).
   
5. If the Oracle takes longer than 72 hours to answer a question, the Oracle shall forfeit. If no Petitioners have submitted questions or guesses for 72 hours, then any Petitioner may ask the Oracle to reveal the rule and step down.
   
6. The Petitioner who first guesses correctly shall become the next Oracle. If there is no such Petitioner (such as after an Oracle is forced to forfeit) or if said Petitioner does not choose a rule within a reasonable timespan, the first poster to so choose may become the next Oracle.
   
7. Petitioners are not allowed to edit. For a first offense, the petitioner’s question or guess will be ignored, but subsequent offenses, even if committed in a later round, will result in disqualification for the rest of the round.

The game is open to all comers. Let the induction begin!

And with that,

I have a rule.

[StrangerCoug]

1. Are you having a good day?
   Yes

[StrangerCoug]

1. Are you having a good day?
   Yes
   
   
2. Do you have any pizza?
   No

These are rules questions, not part of the game

A Petitioner caught editing shall be disqualified as if they made three incorrect guesses at the rule.

I don't see anything else in the rules about this. If a given petitioner guesses wrong three times, are they DQ'd for the rest of the round?

It appears that the rules as written indeed don't place a guess limit on petitioners, only that the oracle must concede if they make three mistakes. Will rule the answer to your question as no and edit.

Also, if a question has been asked, do we have to wait for an answer before asking another one?

Nope. You can ask as many questions as you like within the question limit.

Speaking of the limit; the rules make no mention of whether counterexamples to incorrect rule questions count toward it, I will rule that they do. Will update the rules accordingly with this as well.

Challenge: the example provided in 11 does NOT contain the WORD A as suggested by Cephir

I don't think it has to - it just has to prove the rule is wrong.

This.

@StrangerCoug, should I still provide a new statement as a counterexample, or is this sufficient?

Officially, you're supposed to, but when I was the Oracle in past games I didn't if I was already aware of a counterexample.

[StrangerCoug]

Would you like to explain why my computer is on fire?

[StrangerCoug]

Does StrangerCoug look fat?

Spoiler: So far, these have gotten a yes

Are you like me?

Would you like to explain why my computer is on fire?

So almost half and half so far. The only thing I've gathered is that adding a word to a question that's gotten a yes has so far gotten a no, whereas changing a word may or may not affect the response.

[StrangerCoug]

Farren might be on to something with the letter L, but the rule can't be the second-to-last word starting with an L because of questions 15 and 17.

[StrangerCoug]

I'll take a swing at it:

There are three more words in the question than there are L's = yes

[StrangerCoug]

Actually, that can't be it because of 18 and 19.

[StrangerCoug]

Shall we play a game?

[StrangerCoug]

Do you like pizza?

[StrangerCoug]

Is there a reason why my computer is on fire?

[StrangerCoug]

Is there pizza?

[StrangerCoug]

Is there a teacher present?

[StrangerCoug]

Question starts with a form of the word "be" and contains the word "a" = yes

[StrangerCoug]

Is there a Porsche?

[StrangerCoug]

Is there?

[StrangerCoug]

The third word has the fewest letters = Yes (and answer no if the question is shorter than three words)

[StrangerCoug]

Yeah, the

first

word has the fewest letters in question #1

[StrangerCoug]

Are there any of the lucky ten thousand today?

[StrangerCoug]

Isn't he one of the lucky ten thousand today?

[StrangerCoug]

Am I lucky?

[StrangerCoug]

Wasn't he one of the lucky ten thousand yesterday?

[StrangerCoug]

Am I one of the lucky ten million today?

[StrangerCoug]

Will I be one of the lucky ten thousand tomorrow?

[StrangerCoug]

Am I one of the lucky ten today?

[StrangerCoug]

(I will point out for the record that the question number has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the rule - the order that questions are asked and answered in is completely irrelevant.)

The rules don't allow question order to have any bearing on the responses anyway.

Am I one?

[StrangerCoug]

Dang... And we don't get a hint for another 15 questions...

Am I?

[StrangerCoug]

(Proposal, not a question meant to be part of the game: Should I change the rules to allow hints after the 25th, 40th, and 50th questions and then make people guess after the hint after the 50th question?)

This is proving quite challenging. We need to be careful to watch for potential rabbit holes we can get stuck in.

Do I weigh more than a lucky duck?

Do I weigh more than a duck?

[StrangerCoug]

Am I one of the unlucky ones?

Should I just ask a question that's completely unlike anything we've asked so far so that maybe we get some new info?

[StrangerCoug]

Should I just ask a question that's completely unlike anything we've asked so far so that maybe we get some new info?

The issue with this is that the first nine questions showed that asking questions willy-nilly is unlikely to result in a Yes.

It looks to me that the third word is important; I believe that no two questions with the same first three words have been answered differently. I've noticed that all of the Yes questions have a third word that begins and ends with a vowel, but it can't quite be that because of #27 (and #42, now), so I definitely think that riffing on previous questions to find what exactly causes the answer to change is the right way to go.

Possibly.

Is she one of the random ten thousand today?

[StrangerCoug]

Is she there?

[StrangerCoug]

Should the eagle ask a question that's completely unlike anything we've asked so far so that maybe we get some new info?

[StrangerCoug]

Awesome. I liked the level of difficulty of this rule, though I can imagine it might have been too much for some people. I'll think up a rule tonight and in the meantime it might be good for some more people to weigh in on whether they thought this round was too long/too hard.

The first time I was the oracle in the first game, my rule turned out to be much harder to guess than I thought—one of the hardest up to that point, if I'm not mistaken. For some rules, you have to analyze the questions very carefully, like with Farren's.

[StrangerCoug]

Shall we play a game?

[StrangerCoug]

Are we there yet?

[StrangerCoug]

(I'm in favor of it.)

Does the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog?

[StrangerCoug]

I think we're stuck in a rabbit hole, unfortunately. It's clearly not based on word count, and it doesn't appear to be based on the first few words either.

Spoiler: The hint so far

Your hint:

Guess: Last word has double letters but not second last (clever, none, green, eggs, Farren) -> Yes, Else -> No

Exactly

one

of the following is true:

1) Double letters, as illustrated in the guess above, are somehow relevant.
2) Word positioning (last word, second-to-last word, third word, that sort of thing) is somehow relevant.

@StrangerCoug

Can the rule be based of letters in a word?

Yes, that's fine.

Am I crazy?

[StrangerCoug]

Care to explain why my computer is on fire?

[StrangerCoug]

The question is "Do you know anybody hates voles?" = Yes

[StrangerCoug]

Do you know anybody who always hates coffee?

[StrangerCoug]

The counterexample gets counted toward the question limit, so this is question 11:

Do you know anybody who always hates beer?

[StrangerCoug]

Do you know anybody?

[StrangerCoug]

I fixed a small typo in the rules, by the way.

[StrangerCoug]

Do you know anybody who always likes voles?

[StrangerCoug]

Question ends with the word "voles" = Yes

[StrangerCoug]

Oops

[StrangerCoug]

Do you know anyone who always likes voles?

[StrangerCoug]

Do you know anybody who studies voles?

[StrangerCoug]

The last two words end in the same two letters in the same order = Yes

[StrangerCoug]

Is it true that he hates voles?

[StrangerCoug]

Does he hate voles?

[StrangerCoug]

The last two words end in the same two letters in the same order, but do not rhyme = Yes

[StrangerCoug]

I still think I'm on the right track with the guess countered by 18. Still trying to figure out the refinement it needs if I'm right, though.
