That ending almost got me crying. May you rest in peace John Horton Conway.

There's actually a pretty intuitive way to see why you stall out. I'm going to post this before listening to the explanation, and before morning coffee so I could (possibly) be wrong. Movement requires spending pieces. More importantly, it requires spending *nearby* pieces. Movement higher requires spending pieces that you had to pay to move up there, meaning those pieces themselves "cost" more. The cost ends up exponential in the distance you move, at least doubling for each additional square of range, but the number of pieces in your "accessible fuel pool" increases only quadratically with increasing travellable distance, and so you starve out. If everything was conveniently in the right place, it should exactly double for every step up, but nothing is ever convenient, so it probably costs more to really actually move them. You can obviously move at least 1 place, at cost 2 (using 2 pieces from below the line). There's 4 fuel available within 1 distance (orthogonally, or by Manhattan distance) of your starting point, so you can move at least 2 places (at cost at 4). There's 9 fuel within 2 distance, so you can move at least 3 places (at cost 8). There's 16 fuel within 3 places, so you can move at least 4 places (at cost at least 16). There's 25 fuel within 4 places... Not enough to move 5 places which costs at least 32. It gets even worse from there. 36 fuel within 5, but cost 64. 49 within 6, but cost 128. 64 fuel within 7, but cost 256. Distance 10 has 121 fuel but costs at least 2048. In 1 dimension, fuel is sparser and you can't even move up 2 places. In 3 dimensions, fuel is denser, and you can move father - but the cost is still exponential which eventually beats the cubic fuel availability of 3d. In fact, any finite dimension Euclidian space will eventually run out of accessible fuel. Even if you can move a piece by more than one space in a hop, or diagonally. In a hyperbolic space, you should be able to move an unlimited distance up, because you access to fuel increases exponentially with distance. Note: we live in a functionally Euclidian space, and it costs fuel to move things - including fuel. We live in a very complicated game of soldiers. Time to watch.

@WarDaft

4 жыл бұрын

Update: I ran through a simple thought experiment modification where you're allowed to stack as much fuel as you want on a given square, and the cost to reach a given height with ideally placed fuel is actually the Fibonacci sequence, rather than doubling! 1 piece at height 3 cost = 1 piece on height 1 + 1 piece on height 2. 1 piece at height 4 cost = 1 piece on height 3 + 1 piece on height 2. A piece at height n is height (n-1) + height (n-2), the same recurrence as the fibonacci sequence, whose successive terms (regardless of starting terms, as long as they're both positive) tend towards... The golden ratio! That's how that comes in. This is probably all explained right in the original paper proving it impossible. Which I should probably go read.

It can be done in an infinite number of moves. But is a "not so large infinity" (because infinities come in many sizes, like there are as many natural numbers as there are rational numbers, but quantity of real numbers is infinite times larger than those even when all these sets are infinite to begin with). So you can set up an algorithm (at least in theory, because in practice it can't be realized) where the first move takes one second, the second move takes 1/2 second, the 3rd move takes 1/4 second, the 4th move takes 1/8 second and, in general, the n-th move takes 1/2^(n-1) seconds, and by 2 seconds you are done in infinite moves. It's like the famous paradox: You can never reach a place that is 2 meters away because you always need to reach the half point of what remains first. So you first move 1 meter, then 1/2 meter, then 1/4 meter and so on and you never get there. Except... if you do the first 1 meter move in 1 second, the second 1/2 meter move in 1/2 second, the 3rd 1/4 meter move in 1/4 second and so on, you've made all the required infinite moves to reach 2 meters in 2 second. And that is how you actually can get from the bed to the bathroom at all. It is called "supertasks". Note however tat you can get to the bathroom because it does actually take less time to walk 1/4 the distance than 1/2 the distance. So that is a "possible" (in the real word) supertask. But in real life you cannot make that each following checker move takes 1/2 of the time it took the previous time forever, so solving this puzzle in infinite moves and finite time is impossible in practice. And by the way, reaching row 6 is impossible even in infinite moves. Infinite moves is barely enough to take just one soldier to the 5th row. Eve 2 soldiers to the 5th row is impossible (I think).

Even if it doesn’t make sense, you have to admit that it’s kind of fun to do the impossible. Walt Disney said it best

Me: mom can we have "right" at home? Mom: we have "right" at home "right" at home: WRONG ! 1st thought, can you do it backwards, started it on a square at the 5th row 2nd thought, what if, the plane is 3 dimensional, so you have multiple column, row, AND layers; 1 checker can jump forward, backward, right, left, AND up and down

On the second thought: level 5 would be fairly simple, just do level 4 like you do on the plane, then jump enough checkers down to do level 3 in the same spot. You could then jump enough checkers up to do level 4 again to get to level 6.

"1st thought, can you do it backwards, started it on a square at the 5th row" You mean doing it in reverse? Like starting in the 5th row, jump back to the 3rd row and add a "soldier" in the 4th row? You can't make it in a finite number of moves. You will end up with soldiers "hanging" beyond the line and not being able to return.

One of the best videos I've seen, Kevin: we send you a big hug from Uruguay

i felt like a hero when i reached the 4th tile until i realized that 5 was the impossible one

I love this tribute. Was so saddened to hear the news about Conway, but he’ll have a legacy unlike any other

"The answer is beauty...and taxis." Sounds like me answering a word problem about trains on my math test

Playing the game, it quickly becomes apparent why you cant get to level 5; its so frustrating that each new tile you need is further back than use so you are always further and further away from the goal with tiles in front you can never reach again. Clever game.

Sometimes, I watch this video just to see the tribute that Jake made to Conway. It was very touching.

thanks for the existential crisis Vsauce

When you make a custom board only to realize that the game is impossible...

This is the first news I've seen on John's passing. Thank you for the kind words.

I played that game .... i reached level 5 with my own board on paper..... How i got there was like a god making a barrier through the sea to make path..... So i was stuck at level 4 and the god came... my lil brother.... he was 7 and he solved how it was made my mind explode... When u reach 4 the "soldier" supposed to cant go further but my lil bro took 1 soldier and put it right behind the 4th soldier i asked why and he said " Why not" lol xD

The formula for the number of moves it takes is just the number of pieces - 1. This is easy to see because every move removes a piece

fun fact: otters have a favorite rock they take around wherever they go edit: what? this comment is from two years ago and i neither remember making it nor watching this video. it isnt even relevant. did I just click the video for the sole reason of writing this one comment? why did i do that? what

This was news to me... Decided to take a stroll down the comment path and was enlightened by this tidbit of knowledge. I knew about the hand holding, but not this. I will probably be obsessing over this for the next few hours. It sparked a bit of curiosity and now I wanna know what happens if they misplace their beloved rock or someone takes it, do they freak out? I'm afraid of falling down a unplanned Google rabbit hole with this question. I'm not ready for the time investment at the moment. Thanks for the future Google query.

It's easy to see the number of soldiers needed if you know the number of moves and vice versa. Each move removes 1 chip and we need one final chip to stay on the high level so if n is the number of soldiers and m is the number of moves then n = m+1
