Welcome to Zendo Questions 2!
Would you like to play this game? Yes
Is it fun? Yes
Can you join any time? Yes
Can you guess the rule? Yes
Is your guess correct? No
Play on...
This post is mostly copied from mafiascum: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=23946
Those of you familiar with both Twenty Questions and Zendo already know the rules. For everyone else, let me break it down.
- Each round, there is one Oracle and a flock of Petitioners.
- At the beginning of the round, the Oracle invents a secret rule, completely mechanical, based on - and solely on - the exact wording of the questions asked. This rule will, given the exact wording of a question, tell the Oracle to reply either "Yes" or "No". You must be able to answer the same question the same way, regardless of the context of the question. Examples include:
- Any question with an even number of words, reply "Yes"; otherwise, reply "No".
- Any question beginning with a consonant, reply "Yes"; otherwise, reply "No".
- Bear in mind that, first, any overly-complicated rule (e.g. "Any question whose SHA-1 hash ends with an even number, say 'No'; otherwise, say 'Yes'") will get you mocked and shunned; second, every rule is more complicated than it initially appears; and third, if you screw up three times, you must concede (and thereby become an object of pity and lose 1d6 points of respect).
- During the round, any Petitioner (i.e. anyone other than the Oracle) may either ask questions, or attempt to guess the rule. Each question asked shall be answered in order by the Oracle, according to the rule. Guesses the Oracle shall deal with in one of exactly two ways:
- By conceding, and revealing the rule that had been used.
- By replying with a question whose answer is different under the actual rule than according to the guess.
- For example: if the rule is "beginning with a consonant = yes" and someone guesses "beginning with a W = yes", the Oracle might say, "Had it the ability, would a woodchuck chuck wood?"
- The Oracle shall include in each post answering questions and responding to guesses a list of all prior questions, answers, guesses, and responses.
- If the Oracle takes longer than 72 hours to answer a question, the Oracle shall forfeit. If no Petitioners have submitted questions or guesses for 96 hours, then any Petitioner may ask the Oracle to reveal the rule and step down.
- The Petitioner who first guesses correctly shall become the next Oracle. If there is no such petitioner (such as after an Oracle is forced to forfeit) [edit: or if said petitioner does not choose a rule within a reasonable timespan], the first poster to so choose may become the next Oracle.

The start of the current rule is ...there is no current rule! (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=19335.msg796004#msg796004)
Here is a list of rules used so far.
Note that I have modified some of the wordings in order to present them all in the same format: If <property> then "yes", otherwise "no". Let me know if you spot any mistakes I've made.
Also there have been a handful of aborted rules, never stated and not listed here.

Guess: Every word has an adjacent word which has a letter in common with it <==> Yes
That was hard! Especially when I went off on my stone tangent. I suppose I ended up there because s,t,o,n,e are some of the commonest letters in English.
-
Guess: Every word has an adjacent word which has a letter in common with it <==> Yes
Correct. Well done.
The plethora of NOs in the beginning was quite unfortunate, I think. NOs are more likely than YESs but not that much more likely. (If SP had proposed "Did Hitler do something wrong" rather than "Did Hitler do anything wrong" it would have been a yes.)
Your turn again.

Say, is it at all imaginable that you chose a way of distinguishing yes and no just based on a few specific symbols being in the sentence?
To be more particular, could it be that they're a character and another character, one of which didn't appear here, the other not above?

I suggest a rule that only read words or commonly known names are allowed. Then a) we can have rules based on syllables, and b) it just seems more fun. What do you guys think about this?
Regardless, I have a rule.

Another advantage of that is that people can make rules based on parts of speech?
As well as pronunciation-based things other than just syllables, like long or short vowel sounds?
Maybe the more general principle is that there are more well-defined qualities of English words than there are of general strings?
But people might be tempted to make rules that get into gray areas?

Oh, I've been counting spaces. So something like "parity of number of words is the same as parity of number of letters" would be equivalent to what I was trying to say.
Also, I keep confusing myself on punctuation because the questions with apostrophes in them are long. Let's try this:
You're?

hah, I was phrasing it as "the number of words with an even number of characters is even" but those two conditions are equivalent. (With both, adding an odd-numbered word does nothing, and adding an even-numbered word flips it). So, correct! Well done.
Was this rule too hard?
-
Was this rule too hard?
I can't really comment as I was absent for most of it and Scott did the hard work. After #127 it didn't seem too hard; I'd had thoughts of similar rules.
It seems like these three are equivalent, the only difference being what counts as a character:
- parity of number of words is the same as parity of number of letters (scott)
- number of alphanumeric characters + number of words is even (me)
- the number of words with an even number of characters is even (silverspawn)
But I'm going to claim it anyway. 8)

It's one of those words that probably doesn't really mean what we're using it to mean but we can get away with it so long as everyone rolls with it.

I'd argue that if everyone thinks a word means X then the word means X. Which is to say, the meaning is defined by what people think.

You guys ok if I cut the list down a bit - it is getting long.

Man, I was playing with mod 9 for some reason, now I feel stupid.
Does that mean I need to count how many letters are in each question before asking?

I didn't count the above nor this?
Don't evaluate the questions with even numbers, I don't wanna have to count everything yet.
Just wanna write things in case maybe.

Talking is kind of difficult in this thread, isn't it? Anything you say is liable to have a yes or no tagged on the end. Anyway, hopefully we can recognise genuine comments/questions when needed! Yeh, italics is a good idea, until someone makes a rule that depends on html tags... (no, please don't)
I'll wait for silvers' ok as well, in case the set of questions I remove reveals too much info for his liking.

You already gave away the information, all you're asking of us is if you can remove a bunch of completely useless questions, I don't see why anyone would say no, it helps everyone.

I agree that I've given away quite a bit by confirming silverspawn's odd number of words theory. I hope no-one minds too much.
-
Go ahead. I think we've had fairly conclusive evidence already, so I'd say you've basically spoiled nothing.
The other theory I've had was completely wrong. Which makes sense because it seemed far too complicated, but somehow it worked perfectly on all the examples I checked.
-
List of all questions which have even numbers of words. I'll continue to answer questions with odd numbers of words, but any future 'all questions' lists will only contain the ones with even numbers of words.

I believe it's been 96 hours since silverspawn's last question.
Can I ask for the rule to be revealed? I think it's fair to say you stumped us.
-
I'm against that. We've had previous questions that took a lot longer. I don't think I've spent enough time trying to figure this out to give up. The reason it's been three days is just that I haven't gone back to it since.

Oh, okay. I assumed everyone had given up, and if that was the case, I might as well just ask for the rule to be revealed. But since you're still guessing, that's fine. It wasn't so much the amount of time spent asking questions as the amount of time in which nobody had posted.

I understand, and it's hard being the person with the rule when it all goes quiet. Like, my last rule had a gap of about a month with no questions. I knew it wasn't too hard, but had I just made it too boring for people to want to play? Forum silence is hard. Really glad when you turned up and solved it!
I realise that the rules in the OP say 72/96 hours and the game's over. Maybe we should be ready to enforce that. But probably with a 'prod' first, so that folk can get back on to it if they want to, like in this case.
-
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask this or not, but can you tell us whether the even/odd thing is specified in the rule or a by-product of the rest of the rule? Also, I'm going to try working on this again. I had given up, but I think taking a few days break could have helped.

"Odd number of words => yes" is a consequence of the rule, without being explicitly stated in the rule. I mean, obviously the rule can be stated in various ways, but the simplest form does not refer to odd/even number of words.

I knew it wasn't too hard, but had I just made it too boring for people to want to play? Forum silence is hard. Really glad when you turned up and solved it!
I realise that the rules in the OP say 72/96 hours and the game's over. Maybe we should be ready to enforce that. But probably with a 'prod' first, so that folk can get back on to it if they want to, like in this case.
I think this is a really important point that's sort of hard to understand if you haven't been the rule master before. It's easy to think of the master as just being a black box that gives you the information you request whenever you feel like it, but my experience has been that I spend the whole time wondering if I've made the rule too easy, too hard, too boring, etc. I think the reality is that long silences usually have nothing to do with the rule itself, they just sort of happen at random if everyone gets busy at the same time and then forgets about the thread, but I think that also makes it stressful for the master.
So maybe the solution is to just encourage anyone passing by who notices that the thread has been dead for a while to bump it, even if they have no "good" questions to ask?

Guess: if the median is an interger.
I can specify it but...it's this and you know it
-
Let's specify...first you order the words of a question (words have letters, that's all you're counting) by size, say, shortest first. Then you go to the middle 2, add their letters and divide by 2. If said number is an integer (or if the original sum is even) it passes. Thus all odd word questions pass, since you add a word to itself.
-
Guess: if the median is an interger.
Correct! We have a winner. Median number of letters per word exists and is an integer.

I have a rule

Has your rule got anything to do with leopards?
Their spots?
Their tails?
The things they eat?
The habitats in which they live?
Does it make any difference if we're referring here to leopards which live in Africa or Asia?
What about snow leopards?
Are there more similarities between leopards and snow leopards than between two arbitrarily chosen species of the Panthera genus?
-
Is it a rule?
Rule?
A?
AA?
ABC?
123?
bla bla bla bla?
Those are some short words but maybe long words will work better because sometimes that happens and let's see if it's the case?
Or maybe this long word will work but it also could be a little difficult to parse because sometimes long words are like that and if so sorry?

I knew it was going to be something simple that was about the length somehow. I had figured out that odd numbered sentences are always true, and two-word sentences are true iff they have the same parity. But that rule just refused to generalize to more than 2 words!
I think it was a fine rule, though.

You are an absolute god. Absolutely correct! Did you actually count the letters?

Thanks :-) I have an awesome program installed that replaces the default notepad. Among other things, it shows me column numbers. So all I had to do was copy it in there and delete the whitespaces.
The a a a a questions made it possible. 1 - 4 - 9 was instantly noticeable.

I have a guess but these four are the only ones that don't work with it. No
(That's a no?) Yes
So frustrating. Yes
(That's a yes?) Yes
Can I predict that this question will be a no? No
And yes? Yes

That introduced a bunch more that didn't fit with my guess.
My guess had been that the number of characters in each word (including '?') had to be in either ascending or descending order.
It actually works for most of the answers here.
But then I found four (literally only four) that didn't work.
And now I have a few more that don't work with it.

If it ends up being a coincidence that so many of these matched the other rule, and there is no logical reason for it, I will be somewhat irked.
I don't understand numbers.
I thought I understood them, but I don't.

It seems like questions with lots of words tend to get a 'no'.

Actually, I think that this wonderful word "questionwhichgetsayesnowwaitamomentthat'snotaquestionasitstandsmaybeifIinflectmyvoicealittleattheendIcanmakeitintoaquestion" is so useful that I could get some yeses just by sticking into the middle of almost any question, am I right?

Guess: More than half of the characters in the question form a single word <==> yes

Yup, correct! :D well done.

Where a word is defined as any string of symbols separated by two of {whitespace, end of question, start of question}

Funny how we got hung up on "What about 0?"
I think after seeing the answers to one- and two-word questions it seemed easy to generalise in many (incorrect) ways.
Right. I have a rule.

Guess: the words have to be in monotonously decreasing alphabetical order.
-
Guess: the words have to be in monotonously decreasing alphabetical order.
Explain what you mean by monotonously.
-
If i and j are indices, then i < j implies w_i >= w_j. (In contrast to strictly monotously, where i < j implies w_i > w_j)
-
(and by w_i >= w_j I mean word i comes after word j in the alphabet)
-
EBWOP (and by w_i >= w_j I mean word i comes after or at the same position than word j in the alphabet)
-
Okay, then I believe you are Correct!
Time for me to sleep, it was too easy after all.
-
I'm not so sure it was too easy. If we had had more YES early, we might have developed incorrect theories and invested a lot of time in them. There's luck involved.
-
I have a rule.
-
Are you using monotonously to mean monotonically?
I appreaciate that meaning can be affected by usage.
So maybe now monotonously has gathered a new meaning?
But if we take that too far then I can use any word to mean anything, can't I?
I know what your rule is.

Elliptic Curve Cryptography i think i might be able to put anything lowercase in here but im not sure about that lets find out?
and Elliptic maybe Curve in between Cryptography words?
Elliptic maybe the Curve first word has to be Cryptography a capital?
Dont you think Elliptic Curve Cryptographys cool cool?

Just like the previous guess, this is only to rule something out:
Guess: If it contains the string "Elliptic Curve Cryptography", it is yes, otherwise no.

Correct. Your turn.

Aren't these eliptic curvues the basis for some kind of abelian group which has better properties than Z_p with only have of its elements? That was mentioned in the class on cryptography I took the past semester but it didn't go into detail.

That sounds about right. Though I think the number of elements tends to be close to p, not half of p. The number of x-coordinates is close to half of p, but each valid x-coordinate occurs in two points of the curve.
I think it is cool that a seemingly innocuous sounding concept like 'scalar multiplication' of points on the curve leads to a cryptographically secure group. And you can visualise it all nicely on a graph (which doesn't look anything like an ellipse by the way). And you can casually throw in a 'point at infinity' which makes it all work. And... well after this rule I think everyone should go and find out about elliptic curve cryptography. :)
-
That was supposed to read "better than [Z_p with only half of its elements]". I think you had to take a subgroup of Z_p that was always exactly half the size because otherwise one bit of information was leaking... right?
-
And even then it was somehow supposed to be less awesome than the eliptic curve thing though our prof didn't tell us why :D
-
Just like the previous guess, this is only to rule something out:
Guess: If it contains the string "Elliptic Curve Cryptography", it is yes, otherwise no.
Correct. Your turn.
Wait, actually?
I didn't think it was actually the rule; I was just trying to get some variation so I could get a better lead.
But I'll take it.
I have a rule.

Well that rule was uh...
Something.

Ignore the no and yes at the top of the last post, with no question attached. I was using them to copy and paste my responses because I didn't want to manually change the color each time. I just forgot to delete them.

Couldn't you just first copy the Yes to every Yes question and then copy the No to every No question?

Just so you know, I will be away and offline from Thursday to Sunday, so I will not be able to answer questions during that time frame. I will answer all questions and/or guesses on Monday, unless someone guesses the rule before the day is over.
-
Right, sothis
iswhat fits
sofar.
A question
isyes ifit
contains
atleast one
yesword.
A word isyes
ifitcan
be splitup
into "yes" strings.
"Yes" strings are one or two letters (possibly longer, but I haven't found any evidence for longer ones yet).
I'm compiling a listof "yes" strings, but don't have itin front ofme at the moment; I'll post it tomorrow.
Hopefully someone will be able to see some logic in the set of "yes" strings.

Should I confirm/deny anything that was just said in there? In spoilers, of course.
-
The following (in spoilers) is just me either confirming or denying the claim which infangthief made. If you don't want to know, don't read it. The claim is as follows:
"A question is yes if it contains at least one yes word. correct
A word is yes if it can be split up into yes strings. correct
Yes strings are one or two letters correct
(possibly longer nope , but I haven't found any evidence for longer ones yet)."
I will be out until Monday. I will respond to any questions/guesses then.
-
These letters and digraphs have been explicitly confirmed as 'yes':
B'C'F'H'I'K'N'O'P'S'U'V'W'Y

These digraphs can be shown to be 'yes' assuming my earlier claims are correct:

Guess: The question contains at least one word which is made up of symbols of chemical elements <=> Yes

And now your profile name makes sense!

I'm leaving in a half hour, and just thought I would pop on here just in case anyone guessed it, because if so I didn't want to keep anyone waiting around for four days.

I wonder if it's time we took a break anyway from Zendo questions. Come back to it in a few months? What does anyone else think?

- At the beginning of the round, the Oracle invents a secret rule, completely mechanical, based on - and solely on - the exact wording of the questions asked. This rule will, given the exact wording of a question, tell the Oracle to reply either "Yes" or "No". You must be able to answer the same question the same way, regardless of the context of the question. Examples include:

Whoops. Well that's what I get for necroing an ancient thread. Anyone want to take a guess anyway? It's not a terribly complicated rule.

Just letter. I figured character would be problematic since most questions end with a question mark.

the only one throwing me off is otto

whatever, i'll guess

Guess: the question must not contain a series of three letters that go in the same direction in the alphabet (so abc is not okay because they go forward then forward but acb is because it goes forward then backward)

Wrong, "otto" would pass but it fails.

Just because I want a counterexample:
Guess: the question must not contain a series of three letters in the same direction. If a letter is repeated (like aa, but not aba), the second one, instead of counting as a letter, counts as a reverse function. So abb is two letters going towards the beginning. zyy is two letters going towards the end. abba is two pairs, abb (going towards the front) and bba (also going towards the front), so it doesn't count.
Okay, this probably isn't the rule, or else the rule was phrased much more simply than I can manage. But I want a counterexample.
-
Correction: abba is the two pairs ab(b) and ba.
-
Do I need to think about that guess?
Let's just assume you are Correct! as you essentially have the rule down, I just don't know if you realized why doubles work like the way they do.
The rule was the word passes if it follows a trend of going up/down or down/up continually. But if you repeated a letter it would count as going in either direction. The problem with, say, "otto", was that it went up, "down", and then down again, which didn't follow the rule.
-
Dang, I was about to ask something like azbycx... because I was on that track, but hadn't thought through the repeated letters yet. Nice hheli
-
Was that the most complex rule we ever had?
I've also thought about stuff with directions, but then concluded that I must be on the wrong track because if it had been something with that, surely I'd have found it.

You did find it :P
I don't think so, but then again I wouldn't know how to classify complexity of rules.
-
Did I? ???
Nothing wrong wit hard rules, anyway. But yeah, complexity isn't easy to quantify. The same rule will seem more intuitive to some than others.

Well you thought about it, so, kinda, yes.
I thought it was a really hard rule, but also one that would be caught eventually, even if not fully. In retrospect, the way repeated letters worked was a mess (they should've just invalidated the rule) but I didn't want to just remove a lot of otherwise good words due to that.
-
@hhelibebcnofnena, remember, before when I didn't have a rule? I think I might have one now. (no idea if it's any good), if you're willing to let me take a shot as "host".

I find it harder to follow rules with multiple pieces.

That was the first phrasing I thought of, actually. But then I forgot about it because I was focused on the double letters, and I didn't remember that I had thought of a simple phrasing.

Guess: The word must contain at least one of the letter determined by the length of the word. (1=a, 2=b... 26=z, 27=a, etc.)

-
Guess: The word must contain at least one of the letter determined by the length of the word. (1=a, 2=b... 26=z, 27=a, etc.)
I thought so much about letters as numbers in relation to the length of the word, and especially about how you could formulate a rule that would work only for a (among 1-letter words) but somehow this didn't occur to me. Really cool rule, too.
-
Guess: The word must contain at least one of the letter determined by the length of the word. (1=a, 2=b... 26=z, 27=a, etc.)
Yes, this correct!
(at first it was just going to be the first letter, so cab YES, abc, NO. But I thought there would be so many NOs that it would actually be even easier. So I audibled at last minute to be anywhere in the question.)
And, of course, just punctation had to contain the 0th letter, which I decided mean they were a YES.

Ok, does anyone have any ideas they're just trying to refine or something, because I have no idea.
I'm completely lost and will revert to treating letters as numbers once I get around confirming there's no pattern.
But overall order matters, and that's always the hard part. Also feels like every letter works, so most likely some weird formula that takes every letter (and only letters?) into account.

Come on! I should have guessed this. I've even done a very similar rule myself in the past, just before the long break in this thread! I guess I understand now why that one was so hard. I was at least getting close, I think.

Guess: Taking a=1, b=2, ..., z=26, summing the value of letters in the question, return yes iff. the total value is even.

This seems too complicated but maybe you have an equivalent simpler formulation?
Guess: [number of vowels is odd] AND [parity of words = parity of consonants]

Correct!
My wording was [odd number of words must have an odd number of vowels] AND [even number of words must have an even number of consonants], but that is equivalent to what you wrote.
Congratulations!
-
My wording was [odd number of words must have an odd number of vowels] AND [even number of words must have an even number of consonants], but that is equivalent to what you wrote.
Now I'm confused -- doesn't an odd number of words also need to have an odd number of consonants? E.g., "notoo" was false
-

Now I'm confused -- doesn't an odd number of words also need to have an odd number of consonants? E.g., "notoo" was false
notoo was false because notoo is an odd number of words having an even number of consonants.
-
But isn't that allowed by your rule?
odd number of words must have odd number of vowels -- true
even number of words must have [...] vacuously true
-
But isn't that allowed by your rule?
odd number of words must have odd number of vowels -- true
even number of words must have [...] vacuously true
I don't pick the even number: I just check all words and add up the number of words that satisfy it (that have an even number of consonants), and that number must be even.
I guess "the number of words that have an even number of consonants is even" is more correct.
-
Ah, I see. You mean
[the number of words that have [an odd number of vowels]] must be odd AND [the number of words that have [an even number of consonants]] must be even
whereas I read it as
if the number of words in the question is even, then the question is true iff the number of vowels is odd; otherwise, the question is true iff the number of consonants is even
-
Agree your reading is more natural

Ok, so is there enough interest in continuing?
Or should we create another thread with slightly changed rules where
- you're only allowed to guess with dictionary words, but
- it's encouraged to create somewhat easier rules
This rule was pretty cool, but probably too hard to guess with dictionary words only
-

I definitely don't design rules with dictionary words in mind. I prefer this version of the game, but you can create your thread if you want.

(My preference is only mind; I would also play more of this version.)
-
Why don't we carry on here, but try a few rounds with dictionary words only.
Or leave it up to the oracle to decide - just say "dictionary words only" when you start the round.
Let's not be too picky about exactly what counts as a dictionary word; if there's a combination of letters you don't recognise feel free to not answer the question, is that good enough?
-
Sounds good.
I have a new rule. Dictionary words only.

In the future, we should all write python programs specifying our rules, the encrypt them using Eliptic Curve Cryptography and post the encryption, then apply the rule to the encrypted string, and if it turns out that every rule necessarily yields yes on the encryption of its program, we will win a nobel price in computer science
-
You were really close with the first rule!
So how did you guys like the only-dictionary words format?
-
A funny aspect of this rule was that no word repeated more than once can yield yes, because either the number of words is even in which case it fails on every letter in the word, or the number of words is odd (and > 1), in which case the number of spaces is even (and >=2) so it fails on those

"dictionary words" sure is a way to not break this rule completely, so in that sense I liked it. It was a bit annoying to think of a 6 letter word that has 3 repeating letters and the rest unique though...

My thought process for coming up with that rule was that I wanted a rule that would most likely lead to someone guessing "always no" to get a hint, so that I could give a hint about Ambassador, because I thought it would be amusing if people were asking questions about Ambassador for no reason whatsoever. It worked for a while I guess.

I have a rule. Semantically valid questions only
Hope that limitation is ok; I think that the rule is straightforward enough to have this restriction.
