My polycule consists of four perfect logicians; however, after an especially disastrous board game night, none of us are talking to one another. Each of us is wearing a hat that is either red, green, or blue. None of us knows the color of our own hat due to dysphoria. If we can all correctly name the color of hat we’re wearing, the wizard will set us all free

I’m unironically going to try to solve this. I’m guessing this a pre-existing riddle but I haven’t looked anything up. I’m also going to assume that an individual member of the polycule can tell the wizard the color of their hat, which everyone else will overhear.

Let’s name the polycule members A, B, C, and D and assign the hat as A has red, B has green, C has blue, and D has blue

Since A knows there must be at least one red hat, and one color must appear twice; when they see two blue hats and no red hat, they know they have a red hat. The same applies to B with green.

Since C and D see all the possible hat colors, they know their own hat must be a duplicate color. Because of the perfect logian part of the set up, C and D know that A and B didn’t just guess. Therefore they both have seen a missing color, allowing them to guess that color. Since the person C and D respectively see with a blue hat doesn’t answer, they know that they’re also each wearing a blue hat.

This is the way.

someone on mastodon also tried to “solve” this and relied on the fact that there’s at least one hat of each color, which was never stated, and i find that fascinating

there’s not actually anything to solve here. no information is given that links the color of anyone’s hat to the color of anyone else’s hat in any way

You say there is nothing to solve, but this is clearly wrong; the problem is to get off the island.

And I can think of multiple distinct ways of solving it by bending the rule against talking to each other by instead talking to oneself or the wizard.

i never said we were on an island???

i have a cool little shell pipeline for listing tracked + modified files in a git repo in order by mtime, and i consistently activate it by typing ^Rporcelain

as a general rule if a puzzle game is only available for windows i just don’t play it. if you don’t want my money then i guess i won’t give it to you

“what about wine eevee” i bought chip’s challenge 2 for windows (a tile-based game so old it was built against like directx 4, so seemingly the sort of thing wine should have nailed by now) and played it in wine, and it was fine, and then it updated, and then it stopped working in wine, for like a decade, and i was so mad i spent more than half a year writing an emulator so i could play the fucking game i paid for. i only have the time to do that once so i’m not really into the idea of paying even more people to gamble on whether their game works and for how long. if you want my money then you can press the “release for linux” button in unity

“but diagnosing linux problems is so hard” if you don’t want to do it for money then why should i do it for something i paid for omg

my primary exposure to the witness is that a former roommate was playing it but every time he found a voice clip thing i made fun of how pretentious it was and i guess he got so mad he stopped playing it at all

i’m not sure what we should learn from this. also the former roommate was marl so he can go fuck himself regardless

seeing a recurring obvious disconnect where people criticize harris for her terrible stance on palestine, and their followers think the criticism is aimed at them as though they’re in any position to do anything about it, whereas the posters naturally think the criticism is aimed at harris

but given that harris probably doesn’t follow them, i’m not sure the followers are wrong exactly

hyperfixations merged, now I want to make a dungeon crawler where you turn into a pooltoy

I’ve considered making my own take on browser-based tf games, but not having a transformation be a failure or end state. Instead, I had the idea of having to navigate different zones using the form or forms available in them.

For example, you might be able to be turned into a pooltoy in a water park zone, and have to navigate the area as one (while also trying to turn back eventually).

I dunno, this just reminded me of that and aptophilia brain go brr.

yeah! I think it’s a lot more interesting to make it just not be a bad end thing and make it so you actually have to deal with the new form as a gameplay mechanic !

yes

this is such a massive pet peeve for me lmao

there are so many games that revolve around a Fun Thing — sex or kink or whatever — but then they make that a game over. so you don’t actually get to play with the Fun Thing. in fact if the Fun Thing happens you are punished for it.

i get that it’s the obvious thing to do in a lot of cases but

that sends such a weird message?????

the entire conceit of fox flux is “no but i want to play as that. what if that happened but then it stayed happening”
