13:28 semiosis google bananagrams wikipedia
13:28 crimsonfubot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananagrams
13:28 semiosis never heard of that
13:28 semiosis but it looks like fun
13:29 * semiosis has been known to boggle as well
13:29 pdurbin :)
13:29 semiosis apparently bananagrams has similarities to that too

14:54 aditsu hey guys, can I tell you an interesting problem?
14:54 pdurbin no
14:55 aditsu oh ok -_-
14:55 pdurbin :)
14:55 pdurbin hit me
14:55 aditsu (don't spoil the solution if you know it already)
14:55 semiosis 42
14:55 aditsu there are 100 prisoners, and a room with 100 boxes
14:56 aditsu each box has a photo of one of the prisoners
14:56 aditsu each prisoner is called into that room, one by one, and is allowed to open up to 50 boxes, then he needs to close them again
14:57 aditsu if all prisoners find their own photo, they are released
14:57 aditsu before the thing starts, they can discuss a strategy together
14:57 aditsu but once they get into the room, there is no more communication
14:58 aditsu what is a strategy that will give them better odds?
15:00 aditsu you can pm me proposed solutions
15:00 aditsu or ask questions in here
15:04 pdurbin wow
15:05 pdurbin +1
15:05 pdurbin aditsu: how about we start writing these down somwhere under https://github.com/sourcefu ?
15:06 aditsu pdurbin: you expect there will be more of these? :p or were other problems discussed before?
15:07 aditsu anyway, feel free to write it anywhere
15:08 aditsu you can find this problem in various places on the internet, but if you read the solution you will miss all the fun in discovering it :p
15:19 pdurbin I started a katas folder at https://github.com/crimsonfu/code but we could have our own
15:22 pdurbin oh. we talked about this already: http://irclog.greptilian.com/sourcefu/2013-03-27#i_4565
15:24 aditsu um.. this is not really a kata, it's a math problem rather than a programming problem... but you can write some code to do simulations and calculate various things
15:24 pdurbin sure sure
15:24 pdurbin thought experiment
15:46 aditsu speaking of that page of logs, I did use groovy in gcj :)
15:49 pdurbin :)
