This would be a great puzzle to solve with a computer program. So many things to consider (1) how to model the initial setup, (2) how to modify the model to make snakes and ladders disappear, (3) optimizing the search strategy, etc.

@asdfqwerty14587

3 ай бұрын

I think a computer wouldn't have much trouble brute forcing it. I mean, you only need to roll 5 times, so there are only 6^5 possibilities to check, which is easily doable by a computer. Once you've done it for the first player, you can discard all of the ones that didn't reach the end, and then repeat it for the 2nd player after each winning strategy for the first player. There are more efficient ways of doing it (well.. efficient in processing time anyway, probably not efficient if you include the time spent programming it since a computer can easily roll a die 6^5 times in under a second.. so if it takes you more than an extra second to program a more efficient one then it's probably not worth your time), but it's not really necessary to use them for this problem because there just aren't that many possibilities to check.

@kylethornburgh

Ай бұрын

(1) The model could just be a simple array of size 100. A snake or ladder would be represented by an element containing the index of the player's target destination. All other elements without a snake or ladder would just be empty. (2) When a snake/ladder is used up, add a flag indicating which turn player 1 used that snake/ladder. If player 2 gets there on the same roll or after player 1, the snake/ladder no longer exists. (3) An optimized search strategy is the hardest part, of course, but you can break the problem into smaller chunks that are easier to manage. Like the video mentioned, you could work backward and keep a record of how many moves you are from the goal ("Okay, from these 6 spots, I can make it to the end in one roll. Which other positions allow me to get to any of these 6 spots by using one more roll?"). Or you can work forward and record how many rolls an optimized path would take to get to each successive element. If you reach a ladder path, record your current roll count in the destination position, but don't take that path quite yet. If you reach a snake path, check to see if that would lower the recorded roll count in that destination position. If so, follow that path and continue forward from the destination position with your newly optimized roll counts and update any previous records that are sub-optimal. I haven't fully worked out how to figure out player 2's optimized path when it requires a snake/ladder to be used up. But my hunch is just to remove the snakes and ladders player 1 used and re-run the algorithm again for player 2. If player 1 has multiple working solutions, run the algorithm for player 2 for each new setup. Not sure if this would work in every case though.

I solved in reverse, starting from the top and going down. I figured there are only two set of stairs that can lead you to 100 hundred within a six dice throw. The "complicated" part was discerning which route could work if the other one goes first, but there is only one possible solution so i eventually figured it out (to my understanding at least)

Yea cuz 6 sided die are known for landing on numbers bigger than 6.

it took me around 10 minutes but i figured it out before finishing the video and confirming my answer. it made me realize, the rules themselves often give away the solution. if you want a really hard puzzle like this, probably putting in a rule like 6 into a puzzle where it doesn't actually restrict the solutions or hint at the correct solution, to throw people off who try to use it in some way

What I find most interesting about this is the princess. She gave the boys the magic dice. Which means she knew about the game. She knew what tools to use to escape death so she probably had to face death herself once and managed to escape. But that brings out another question where does she have the magic dices from? And also isn’t it beautiful how she gave them the one tool which could basically lend her immortality? If the boys failed the test she would never have gotten her dice back thus being able to die her next death.

I love how everyone is considering that the casino would let you use your own dice...

I sat here and did my darndest to figure it out, and I thought I succeeded! So then I played the video and got the narrator straight up telling me one of my solutions doesn't exist...now I'm sitting here, counting boxes, frantically trying to figure out what the mistake was because I actually am TRYING to solve this one!

Wow. I’ve watched like 30 of these now and this is the first one I’ve been able to do lol

I solved it by guessing that the gimmick involved using the disappearing objects to your advantage. I looked for a snake head which had a ladder 6 spaces away in each direction, since this is the only configuration in which a disappearing snake would save a turn. I then knew that the first player needed to use that snake and the second player needed to skip past it, and working from there it's easy to find the routes. I call this method "middle-out" deduction.

Winning like that always feels so cheap. I mean, I do it and its still winning, but its detecting and solving for tropes and likelihoods in the question itself, and considering the context in which the question was presented. Sorta like when your friend says, "You'll never guess how many apples I can juggle..." and you say, "6," based on a number that seems impressive to brag to a friend about, and you are correct. lol

It feels good to solve one of these riddles myself. Makes me feel smart.

I don’t know if my friend Bill and I could solve this but if we could, it would be a triumphant cheat! And a most excellent turn of events.

Finally, I have solved one after trying so many riddles of yours

I like that every riddle, each has a different drawing style

I like this puzzle because it not only tests your problem solving skills, but also your ability to think backwards. Also, sick Bill and Ted reference. Most excellent! *Air-guitar riff*

That riddle contains good philosophy inside. Sometimes we need a ladder (success) and snek (fail) to reach the main goal (100)

This is one of the very few puzzles I was actually able to solve. I'm awful at maths so I'm usually out of the running for this, I just had to rely on brute forcing solutions until I figured out the optimal routes.

This is the first TEDEd riddle I was able to solve!!!

Finally, after so much time, I've solved another riddle

For once I actually spent the time to figure this one out, and it was pretty fun to solve.

Nice puzzle, solved it last second, after that last reminder of the disappearing snakes and ladders, it was harder than I thought it would be honestly

It changed my insight and perception about Snake and Ladder game for ever...

Wow. Too perfect

These type of riddle videos are one of the absolute best from ted-ed.

The way i figured the puzzle out was by realising that most likely there was a success condition that needs to be created, so what i thought of was that this condition would be a snake that would come between two 6 rolls to get to the ladder, so the 'condition' snake would be one that's 6 tiles away from a ladder, which is only the one at 47. Then based on this condition i would assume a route that eliminated that snake while reaching the top in max 5 moves. Feels great when it all connects together 😍

I don't know why this was popping in my home for like months,i was just (i don't know the word) to watch this!

Thanks TedEd! Keep them riddles coming. This is fun. Seriously considering the annual Brilliant subscription.

The animation here is so funny yet the artist is massively talented

In this video, you are the perspective of TED, and your counterpart is Bill. The allusions in this video are great.

I am Brazilian and here this game is unknown. It was a pleasure to learn it here. I have heard about it only in american cartoons

That was a most excellent adventure, ted-ed! *epic air guitar*

A: throw 1 die to get to that rly big ladder, then just keep throwing double 6's with the 2 dies. Sure your partner is gonna lose with out a die to throw, but you're gonna beat death easily. EZ
