Time S Nick Message
01:32 ben_e do the prisoners have perfect memory?
01:32 ben_e if so then you line up the prisoners 1->100, send the first guy in
01:32 ben_e he goes through the first 50 boxes putting them in the same order as the line
01:33 ben_e he has a 1 in 2 chance of finding his own picture, but he still has to sort 50 boxes
01:34 ben_e 2 guy goes in and sees either 50 or 49 sorted boxes, so he knows if his box has been sorted or is in the unsorted half
01:35 ben_e i have to think some more about how to write that algorithmically/programmatically
01:35 ben_e but i think that approach works
01:36 ben_e doh
01:36 ben_e maybe i was supposed to put that in a pm
01:36 ben_e i might have spoiled phil's fun
01:36 pdurbin ben_e: no no, all good :)
01:36 * ben_e quickly hacks.... ok!
01:36 ben_e :-)
01:37 ben_e i could have spammed irc and filled your scrollback... just that blasted logging! :P
01:38 pdurbin :)
01:38 pdurbin very sad from what I'm seeing in ##programming right now:
01:38 pdurbin "who here is black... I'm creating a fb group for black programmers, but I don't know any others. To create a group, you need to add at least on friend to the group"
02:30 aditsu ben_e: you can assume they have perfect memory and/or the photos have numbers on them (1-100)
02:30 aditsu ben_e: "putting them in the same order" - he can't move the boxes
02:32 aditsu pdurbin: sad that he can't find others? or that he's trying to make such a group?
10:03 pdurbin aditsu: sad he can't find others
11:23 pdurbin sad that there's a need for this, that the profession of programming isn't more diverse
