... note to Jonathan: I won't interrupt with an @ding in case you're enjoying making timer A run timer C ...
... but thank you for getting me to delete that spurious claim!
I was incorrectly third-guessing my intended solution and thought we'd have to settle for a less nifty solution, probably incorrect too, as you and PaulEvans unmasked.
Pretty sure, again, about the more nifty solution though . . .
Three motorized 24-hour
light timers
are arranged between a power outlet and a light bulb,
with timer A parallel to a daisy
chain
of timers B and C.
For these timers, devise schedules
that produce the following repeated lighting pattern,
with the largest possible number D,
beginning when the ...
^^^ ARGGGGGH, looks like the initial claim was true after all and this puzzle remains a medium-nifty warm-up puzzle for the one that really requires a gymnastic feat, with fewer moving parts as well, that has never gotten much interest:
Make a non-24-hour day$/$night cycle with the most daylight and the fewest pieces
Specifically, devise schedules and an arrangement
for two electromechanical 24-hour
light timers
to control the flow of power from an
outlet
to a light bulb.
The challenge is to obtain the following repeated...
yeah cant really give hints... have been trying to think of how to hint on A Strange Correspondence; and realised just how hard that puzzle actually is.
looks like they all came through! here's the result of a round trip:
