You and your best friend Bill are the greatest bards in the kingdom- but maybe not the brightest. Your hit song has insulted the king and now you’re slated for execution. Luckily, Death is a connoisseur of most excellent music and has decided to give you a chance to escape your fate. Can you beat him at a life-sized game of Snakes and Ladders and live to sing another day? Shravan S K shows how.

  • This would be a great puzzle to solve with a computer program. So many things to consider (1) how to model the initial setup, (2) how to modify the model to make snakes and ladders disappear, (3) optimizing the search strategy, etc.

    @kenhaley4@kenhaley4 Жыл бұрын
    • I think a computer wouldn't have much trouble brute forcing it. I mean, you only need to roll 5 times, so there are only 6^5 possibilities to check, which is easily doable by a computer. Once you've done it for the first player, you can discard all of the ones that didn't reach the end, and then repeat it for the 2nd player after each winning strategy for the first player. There are more efficient ways of doing it (well.. efficient in processing time anyway, probably not efficient if you include the time spent programming it since a computer can easily roll a die 6^5 times in under a second.. so if it takes you more than an extra second to program a more efficient one then it's probably not worth your time), but it's not really necessary to use them for this problem because there just aren't that many possibilities to check.

      @asdfqwerty14587@asdfqwerty145873 ай бұрын
    • (1) The model could just be a simple array of size 100. A snake or ladder would be represented by an element containing the index of the player's target destination. All other elements without a snake or ladder would just be empty. (2) When a snake/ladder is used up, add a flag indicating which turn player 1 used that snake/ladder. If player 2 gets there on the same roll or after player 1, the snake/ladder no longer exists. (3) An optimized search strategy is the hardest part, of course, but you can break the problem into smaller chunks that are easier to manage. Like the video mentioned, you could work backward and keep a record of how many moves you are from the goal ("Okay, from these 6 spots, I can make it to the end in one roll. Which other positions allow me to get to any of these 6 spots by using one more roll?"). Or you can work forward and record how many rolls an optimized path would take to get to each successive element. If you reach a ladder path, record your current roll count in the destination position, but don't take that path quite yet. If you reach a snake path, check to see if that would lower the recorded roll count in that destination position. If so, follow that path and continue forward from the destination position with your newly optimized roll counts and update any previous records that are sub-optimal. I haven't fully worked out how to figure out player 2's optimized path when it requires a snake/ladder to be used up. But my hunch is just to remove the snakes and ladders player 1 used and re-run the algorithm again for player 2. If player 1 has multiple working solutions, run the algorithm for player 2 for each new setup. Not sure if this would work in every case though.

  • I solved in reverse, starting from the top and going down. I figured there are only two set of stairs that can lead you to 100 hundred within a six dice throw. The "complicated" part was discerning which route could work if the other one goes first, but there is only one possible solution so i eventually figured it out (to my understanding at least)

  • What I find most interesting about this is the princess. She gave the boys the magic dice. Which means she knew about the game. She knew what tools to use to escape death so she probably had to face death herself once and managed to escape. But that brings out another question where does she have the magic dices from? And also isn’t it beautiful how she gave them the one tool which could basically lend her immortality? If the boys failed the test she would never have gotten her dice back thus being able to die her next death.

    • @@prakriti3702 The line was from later. After explaining the ladder/snake routes, he says that one of them is blocked by a disappearing ladder and snake, and that you won’t find another 5-turn path from the starting state. The answer is in *not* using the starting state; instead using the disappearing snakes and ladders to open a path that wasn’t there before.

  • I solved it by guessing that the gimmick involved using the disappearing objects to your advantage. I looked for a snake head which had a ladder 6 spaces away in each direction, since this is the only configuration in which a disappearing snake would save a turn. I then knew that the first player needed to use that snake and the second player needed to skip past it, and working from there it's easy to find the routes. I call this method "middle-out" deduction.

  • The way i figured the puzzle out was by realising that most likely there was a success condition that needs to be created, so what i thought of was that this condition would be a snake that would come between two 6 rolls to get to the ladder, so the 'condition' snake would be one that's 6 tiles away from a ladder, which is only the one at 47. Then based on this condition i would assume a route that eliminated that snake while reaching the top in max 5 moves. Feels great when it all connects together 😍
