Ir/rational - The flash game about logic - General

So do you [sp]always die when you complete it, or is it possible to clear the questions well enough that they don't gas you at the end?[/sp]

ITT: This game is so easy you guys and here's my carefully crafted story to make it sound like it was.

My brain hurts. I pretty much just guessed the last part of 10. [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] The first two lines on 10 were actually pretty easy, if you look at the key on the right side. I just got confused on the last one.

The only really hard one was 9, and that's because just I clicked through all the dialogue and wasn't paying attention to what it said beforehand.

Up until 7 it's been pretty easy, but right now I'm fucking baffled.

I know this game is tough to laymen but this is incredibly basic Logic 101 stuff. If you can't solve Puzzle 10 when there's a legend [I]right there[/I], there is no hope.

I can understand that these puzzles can be hard if you don't have the logic tables in your head (I mean for OR you have 0,1 -> 1 and 0,0->0 etc, you really need a clear definition of the operators)

[QUOTE=RikohZX;36826899]So do you [sp]always die when you complete it, or is it possible to clear the questions well enough that they don't gas you at the end?[/sp][/QUOTE] wondering this as well because I only got something wrong two or three times but still got gassed and something about minimal rational potential

that was pretty neat, i liked level 10

[editline]18th July 2012[/editline] The first two lines on 10 were actually pretty easy, if you look at the key on the right side.

[QUOTE=KaIibos;36827568]wondering this as well because I only got something wrong two or three times but still got gassed and something about minimal rational potential[/QUOTE] I Can't remember, I wasn't really paying attention to the plot.

there was a few that I had to try a few times for but that was where I hadn't read the question properly pretty easy

[QUOTE=RikohZX;36826899]So do you [sp]always die when you complete it, or is it possible to clear the questions well enough that they don't gas you at the end?[/sp][/QUOTE] I don't think so. I went through relatively quickly and only missed one box on puzzle 7 and it still gassed me

Glad I took a prepositional logic course. Very easy. :v:

Wasn't too bad but 10 annoyed me so I gave up on that one :V

I have no idea about how to start with 8 :suicide:

Man, i got a little stuck at 7. It made no sense until, quite suddenly, it did. Breezed through 8 and 9, then. 10. I'm having algebra flashbacks. Nope.

This game seems easy in comparison to my intro to proofs course. My intro to proofs course seemed easy in comparison to my real analysis course. Therefore this game seemed easy in comparison to my real analysis course.

10 is actually pretty easy once you get past having to translate it, which is itself a pretty easy task.

If you like this game and want a challenge, here's one: Prove there is no rational number whose square is 2,

9's got me stumped. Haven't the faintest of what I should do.

I got 10 right on my first try, but I gave up at even trying to guess 9. Am I strange?

[QUOTE=Silikone;36831622]I got 10 right on my first try, but I gave up at even trying to guess 9. Am I strange?[/QUOTE] The machine said two things which were contradictory to one another. Start from there.

[QUOTE=Lankist;36831645]The machine said two things which were contradictory to one another. Start from there.[/QUOTE] Just looked up a walkthrough. Turns out I comprehended the logic, but the structure of the sentence confused me. "If X then Y, therefore Y." Saying Y twice feels wrong.

I [I]hate[/I] logic.

For number 10: [code] G=TRUE M=TRUE If M==TRUE THEN IF G=TRUE THEN A=TRUE IF M==TRUE AND A==TRUE THEN E=FALSE IF (O==TRUE AND V==TRUE) THEN E = FALSE AND R = TRUE IF (E == FALSE OR R == TRUE) THEN O=TRUE AND V=TRUE [/code]

I think I did pretty well. Blew through all the puzzles except 9, but I only got stuck on 9 because I had to use the same line twice.

Pretty easy, guessed the last one.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;36831136]If you like this game and want a challenge, here's one: Prove there is no rational number whose square is 2,[/QUOTE] alright lets see if i can do this without using google: a is a rational number that is the square root of 2 a^2 = 2 a can be written as a fraction of two integers which cannot be cancelled further a = b/c so (b/c)^2 = b^2/c^2 = 2 b^2 = 2c^2 if b^2 is an integer and c^2 is an integer, then it follows that b^2 is even because multiplying any integer by 2 gives an even number if b^2 is even then b is even because the square root of any even perfect square is even if b is even then it follows that it can be written as 2d a = 2d/c 2 = (2d)^2/c^2 2 = 4d^2/c^2 2c^2 = 4d^2 c^2 = 2d^2 same shit; it means that c^2 is even and also c is even, meaning the original b/c fraction stated could be cancelled further, contradicting the assumption that it was in its simplest form. I think that's the full proof but I'm not sure
