I find this comic rather amusing most of the time, but today I actually laughed out loud.



Another good one.

:rofl:

 

I thought the thread was going to be about this http://www.transience.com.au/pearl.html

 

dammit...I never win

 

the original is easy, it's pearls before swine 2 thats hard.

see in the first one you can select that he go first or second, thats the key.

hint: try opening two windows.

 

ummm...in the first one he just says "you go first"...you can't choose. Any what are you talking about open two windows?

 

ok so I've beaten one and two...now it's time to try my luck at three

 

you totally cant cheat with three though

 

ok, I've mastered three now too. I've gone 10 in a row without losing. I made out a spread sheet with binary numbers and you just make sure when you add up the binary values for each row you don't leave him any odd numbers in the total (example, 2222 is good...but 2122 is bad). An explination can be found here http://world.std.com/~reinhold/math/nim.html

kinda takes the fun out of it because once you understand it you can win 100% of the time if you do the math right.
