I know the answer, I assumed Rubix was gone for the night so I was going to temporarily answer questions.

Oh, I got it!

Solution: They make a giant plinko board out of the logs they collected. Laggy drops the coins down from the top...shash gets six spots with his face on them at the bottom, and soul gets four. Whoever's face the coin lands on gets to keep the coin.

Duh

Laggy buys three logs from Shash, and one from Soul. This gives a somewhat equal answer, 3-3-4. He has to buy the work they gave, and since he did nothing, he has to buy enough to have more than them. While doing this, he gives 2 coins per log + 1 coin each for fire.

Shash receives 7 coins, 6 from logs + 1 for fire.
Soul receives 3 coins, 2 from logs + 1 for fire.

Lame. I actually spent time on that answer.

Also, when you say it's not 6 and 4, do you mean no matter what reasoning we might have, it cannot be 6 and 4?

MrRubix_MK5 · 08-5-2008, 02:00 AM

I'm just going to say no if your logic or wrong or if your answer is wrong. I'm only going to say yes if the answer AND logic is correct.

I'm saying it's not 6 and 4 because it's not 6 and 4, period, lol

Ok so, assuming laggy did work, the ideal scenario which still results in gathering a total of ten logs would've been for laggy, soul, and shash to all collect 3.3 logs. This did not occur. Shash wound up doing his share of work, plus an additional gathering of 2.7 logs. Soul did his share plus an additional 0.7 logs. Shash did an additional 80% of his workload, while Soul only did 20%. 8 and 2?

MrRubix_MK5 · 08-5-2008, 02:23 AM

Correct

heyitsmee · 08-5-2008, 05:32 AM

so Shash Soulstone and laggy at night around the campfire working their wood
while laggy pays to enjoy others wood because he cant get his own wood
ok

MrRubix_MK5 i hope you had a camcorder this will be hotter then paris

Awesome Job!

Tass cycles almost as fast as me, which is weird.

MahouMinachan · 08-5-2008, 09:15 AM

I couldn't understand OWA's solution until I used fractions, then everything made sense.

**Reach** · 08-5-2008, 09:16 AM

I was leaning towards 8/2

Nobody bothered with my puzzle really D: Probably because you can't solve it 8)

MahouMinachan · 08-5-2008, 09:25 AM

too many lines, I hate geometry.

Rofl XD.this is the best thinker in this whole thread lol.

KilikOdagawa · 08-5-2008, 11:23 AM

Damn, right number wrong logic.

MrRubix_MK5 · 08-5-2008, 12:13 PM

Reach: I get something around the ballpark of 50. Probably missed a few somewhere, but that's where I am at the moment, haha. If it's wrong I'll do it again correctly/properly if it's totally off

**One Winged Angel** · 08-5-2008, 12:36 PM

Attempting reach's, brb MS paint

edit: 41 on my first attempt...bah, I thought I had more

edit2: 49 on my second attempt...close to rubix must be a good thing?

looks kinda like this so far...I'll redo another possible design later when reach posts or something

The squares that don't lie at intersections denote an eventual intersection between two lines.

edit3: just realized how horribly i mirrored my picture...lines appear out of nowhere, rofl. Whatever, I just tried to make it look nicer, it was still 49 intersections regardless.

**Reach** · 08-5-2008, 01:12 PM

Well, 49 and 50 are not correct. Good tries though.
