12:15 AM
welp this died lmao
 
I'm up for a game
 
also up, but I'd like to guess since I never guessed
 
12:34 AM
@thecoder16, @boboquack, @ffao - I'd be happy to play a game
 
welp, have to go now, sorry, hope there's still enough people
 
:/
aww
 
aw.
 
12:37 AM
we can play with 3, can't we?
or not?
 
yeah, we can
 
do you want to be the master?
 
We could ping the list?
 
Sure, I'll be the master.
Lemme think of a thing though.
Alright. Koans are a 5x5 grid, some of whose squares are filled. (We'll use Xs and -s.)

Yes:
XX---
-----
X----
-----

No:
X-X--

X----

@ffao, @micsthepick
 
@Deusovi 0/10 use Ctrl+K to align pls :P
 
12:46 AM
mondo, guess false
OOOOO
OOOOO
OXOXO
OOOOO
OOOOO
 
guess false
 
(slightly updated - dashes make it easier)
@ASCII-only, you playing?
 
@Deusovi No, I have something to do
 
alright then
 
I don't know why I'm still in chat :P
 
12:48 AM
want me to kick you? :P
 
GO DO YOUR THING!
 
anyway, it was true. Neither of you gets a guessing stone.
> you'r
 
there go all of my theories
(plural, because I had a few)
 
@micsthepick?
 
thinking
 
12:50 AM
Wait can I play :P
 
go do your work
 
It's not very much though :( just need to make sure I keep track of the time
 
mondo guess false:

@ffao?
 
how do I get it to render in monospace?
 
12:51 AM
guess false
 
@micsthepick ctrl + k
 
ctrl+K
 
If I'm allowed to play: guess true?
 
once again, it was true. Neither of you gets a guessing stone
oh, are you playing? alright then, you get a guessing stone
 
Master:
X----
-----
----X
-----
X----
 
12:52 AM
rule: everything is true, except for the second example
(not a serious guess)
 
@ASCII-only That is false.
back to @ffao
 
master:
--X--
-----
-----
-----
-----
 
That is true.
@micsthepick?
 
Mondo guess true:
--X--
-----
--X--
-----
-----
 
Guess true
 
12:55 AM
ffao?
 
guess true
 
it is indeed true, and you all get a guessing stone
 
yay
 
Master
 
(no guess)
 
12:56 AM
X-XX-
-----
X----
-----
-----
 
That is false.
 
Okay, I'm going to use a guess then I guess
 
Alright.
 
wait :/ never mind I still need more testcases
 
Okay. @ffao?
 
12:58 AM
-X---
-----
-----
-----
X-X--
master
 
That is false.
 
guess: a buddha-natured board doesn't contain three filled vertices of an isosceles triangle
 
O_o nvm forgot what's true and what's false
 
That is correct!
 
so this is False:
   --X--
   ------
   X-X-X
   -----
   --X--
 
12:59 AM
(Or, stated how I thought of it, "all distances are unique".)
 
@Deusovi :/ hang on, counterexample I think
XX-XX
-----
-----
-----
-----
No isoceles triangle here
 
that's a degenerate isosceles triangle
 
@Deusovi wait a minute, that's a different rule :O
 
depends on what you consider to be a triangle
 
@Deusovi no it's not...
 
1:00 AM
yes it is? do you know what "degenerate" means in mathematics?
 
oh wait
...crap
 
oh well
 
ah, indeed that should be a counterexample
 
1:01 AM
sorry about that, wasn't thinking right
 
so, um... let's forget this happened
 
wow, yes, you got it! the rule was that it doesn't contain three vertices of an isosceles triangle!
 
wow, I'm so good at this!
 
Damnit I should have guessed on the first round :P
 
be back in about an hour maybe
 
1:03 AM
I was nowhere close to that rule
 
sorry.
 
you two want me to think of a rule?
 
But I don't really want to be Master anyway because I'd take a few hours to come up of a good rule :P
> student who made the guess wins, and becomes the new Master for the next round
So yes (if you want)

1:34 AM
Anyone up for another game?
 
still here
 
have to go for a bit
 
Hang on, preparing (if @Alconja is staying)
Okay, ready. Do we have three players?
 
Yep
I am able to play exactly one round
 
True: 1024
False: 1000
 
1:39 AM
Who goes first?
 
Anyone
 
master: 1001
 
1001 is true
 
What numbers can we guess? Any positive integer, or only four digit ones?
 
@Wen1now your turn
Any number
 
1:41 AM
master: 1
 
1: False
 
does "any number" include stuff such as -1 or pi?
 
Wait nvm, any integer
 
positive integer? nonnegative integer?
(this is why it's important to say what a valid koan is at the beginning)
 
master: 2
 
1:43 AM
Hmm to make it easier less complex then I suppose nonnegative integer
 
easier?
 
2 is true
 
master: 3
 
3 is true
 
master: 10
 
1:44 AM
10 is false
 
master: 100
 
100 is false
 
Hmm, I have some thoughts
 
mondo 0, guess false
 
They're probably wrong though
guess true
 
1:46 AM
2 mins ago, by ASCII-only
Hmm to make it easier less complex then I suppose nonnegative integer
 
0 is nonnegative
 
0 is nonnegative
 
Oops :/
0 is true
 
mondo: 4 guess false
 
4 is true
 
1:48 AM
I don't get a guess? .-.
 
huh?
Is Deusovi playing
 
oops :/ I need to be less distracted
 
Can I join?
 
sure
master: 5
 
Use !join
 
1:50 AM
@ffao I guess I'll just give a free stone for the inconvenience? :P
 
summary for boboquack
True: 1024 1001 2 3 0 4
False: 1000 100 10 1
 
Already got that
 
I would have guessed correctly, so I think that works out fine
 
So wen is on 2 stones, everyone else on 1 I guess, shouldn't make that much of a difference :/
 
I'm on 1 stone
 
1:51 AM
I'm on 0 stones
 
I'm giving 1 stone to everyone for not realizing wen1now did another mondo (Unless there's something in the rules about this)
 
Wait a sec, I guessed incorrectly - do I still get a stone?
 
@Wen1now Yes, one stone shouldn't make that much of a difference anyway
 
I don't particularly care, if we're giving bobo one stone for not guessing at all
I think we should just continue with the game now :P
 
Okay, then ffao your turn now
 
1:55 AM
5 mins ago, by ffao
master: 5
 
Oops
5 is true
@boboquack your turn
 
I'll waste my guessing stone because I want a counterexample: all powers of 10 are false
 
@ffao that's not very specific
 
6 is false :P
 
thanks, now I have a more diverse false set
 
1:57 AM
Mondo 33 - guess false
 
wait crap
 
^^ again?
 
... I think it's false
maybe
 
@boboquack oops :/ sorry
@Wen1now what do you think
 
guess false
 
1:58 AM
33 is false, everyone gets a stone
 
Yay
Guess: False iff digit sum congruent to 1 mod 5
 
bbq, are you taking a guess at the rule?
 
Counterexample: 12 is false
 
Oh no, 12 is so weird
