Mr. Logic's "Digiddle" Game -- Win $25 Cash!

[Exodiafinder687]

I have a feeling that if i could just solve room 43 i can win this game.

[Crimsonthread]

These questions witn 3 variables are absolutely doing me in. I am stuck on 84 and 66.

I haven't been to 22, 24, 28, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48, 52, 54, 56, 58 or 74.

EDIT: Finally got 66 and 84... now 74 is making me . I have no idea where to start!!

EDIT:Got that one, too. Just needed to take a brain break, and it became obvious.

EDIT: Now I only need rooms 43, 54, 56, and 58.... got to 43, but I can't figure it out.

I'm in the same boat as you CrimsonThread. I'm stuck on 43 and i think if i solve it it will take me to rooms 54, 56, and 58. It's weird though. The rooms usually take you to a room in the same row or column, but 43 isnt in a row or column with any of the rooms i have left. Hey Mr. Logic I think we may need some help on 43. It's kinda easy knowing what numbers to subtract and everything, but how far do we keep going? Like how many numbers are we supposed to get?

I don't think 43 will lead us anywhere we haven't already been, so I'm looking for more rooms with multiple answers.

[Exodiafinder687]

I wonder if possibly any rooms had 3 answers. I think i might stay on 43 for a while because i have a feeling it's the room with the exit. Room 43 is way tougher then room 65 because at least with 65 we knew what to do. Room 43 i have no idea what im supposed to find. With math problems where you have to figure out what number each letter is, is there an easier way to solve it or do you have to plug in random numbers? I don't think there are many people working on this puzzle. Unless there is a way to find out what number each letter represents then i may just have to give up. I dont think anyone will ever solve this.

Yes! There is a much easier way! Near the bottom of each puzzle page there is a reddish-brown little box containing the words:

Are computations getting you down?

Have you tried clicking on that link?

[Crimsonthread]

I've tried that, Mr. Logic. My computer's too slow to handle much besides the basics, though.

BTW, I got 43...

The pattern needs to extend to a total of 92 numbers.

Now I only have 54, 56, and 58 left... and I can't seem to find any way to get to them. Must be another multiple answer I missed.

[Exodiafinder687]

Ok i got Simple downloaded now. If i had to do a math problem with letters instead of numbers and find what number each letter is how would i do that? I'm a complete computer idiot so this simple program isn't helping me at all. I have read the tutorials and i still cant find out how to use this to solve a problem. Ok im going to get off for a bit, but i'll be back in a while to see if anyone knows how to use simple.

That's a bit like asking: "OK, I went and got a box of tools. Now, how to I fix my car?"

How you solve a particular problem depends on what that particular problem is. For example, suppose you would like to solve the following equation for integers A, B, and C:

71·A + 43·B + 59·C = 970

The following short SiMPLE program would do the job:

Int2 a, b, c
Do a = 1 To 970/71
Do b = 1 To 970/43
Do c = 1 To 970/59
If (71*a + 43*b + 59*c = 970) Display a,,b,,c
Loop c
Loop b
Loop a

To become good at writing computer programs requires practice and patience. But, in the long run, you will find that it was time well spent.

[Crimsonthread]

Just FYI: For 88, I've found at least 10 answers that are correct, but only 2 work.

I was really hoping that would lead me to 58... oh well...

[Exodiafinder687]

Ok i understand how to write it now, but i think i wrote mine wrong. It's not giving me an answer. It's just repeating some numbers over and over again. I wish this riddle didnt need help of a program that you have to be a computer genius to use.

[Crimsonthread]

May I ask which level you're writing a code for? So far, I've been able to solve all the levels without using SiMPLE (although with the help of my brother and dad), but I've been trying to get familiar with it enough to check for multiple answers.

[Exodiafinder687]

I've just been checking some of the previous levels to see how many have multiple answers, but i have no idea how to run computer programs. Just plugging in numbers is ok, but it takes forever. This Simple might help if i can understand how to make it work. I've checked the Simple forum, but none of them tell how to solve math problems. They just tell how to make shapes and stuff.

[Crimsonthread]

Yes, that's one of the things that frustrated me a bit, too, when trying to write a code. Thought there would have been multiple solutions for 88, too... but when I write code for it, I get error messages, too.

I'm still not positive that level 24 shouldn't have a second answer, but I can't get one to work. SiMPLE wouldn't help me figure that out, anyway.

[Exodiafinder687]

I sent a message to Mr. Logic to see if he can tell me how to use Simple, but he hasnt responded yet. It sucks that you have to be a computer programmer to solve this riddle. If Mr. Logic doesnt tell me how to use Simple then im going to have to plug in random numbers for a week to even hope of getting the right numbers.
