The Points Game

Solution: There is no solution. Mandle will keep this game going forever. Except, paradoxically, I have just guessed that there is no solution, which is the solution, so I win... but then if I win, then there was a solution, which means my initial solution that 'there is no solution' must be false, so there IS no solution... but then... WOOOOOAH!

*My head a splode*

Hahaha.... no, there is a solution, and a pretty simple one as well. And by "simple" I don't mean that it's easy to solve, just that the method of determining the points is not complex.

And your paradox only works if one accepts that "there is no solution" can be counted as a solution, which I think may be a logical falsity...

hope you get better luck than me
I've been in a "1 point for each reply in the same "10" minutes, 2 points is in the next 20minutes, etc... but only seems to fit once in a while... the again my math skills aren't that good...)

I'm still not sure if the points depend on the previous post or not.

well... I have a feeling not so much, but you can't get the same points, so the next post will always be 1 point higher (untill the "reset" that is)

Cassiebsg · Tue 18/10/2016 16:36:14

Now that we have a few days of test/try I'm wondering if a post made at the same time as a previous post, will score roughly the same points.

cat · Tue 18/10/2016 16:51:59

Ah, that's a good one.

Cassiebsg · Tue 18/10/2016 18:34:27

yeah, doesn't seem to have a fix (time) reset...

* Cassiebsg goes back to the drawing board
