What's the link?
« on: August 04, 2012, 09:33:09 pm »

I was looking up Bank to try and help me decide how to best word a self-designed card.  And I noticed: Bank has a pretty interesting quality, which I thought might be pretty rare, or at least uncommon.  But I couldn't tell, off the top of my head, which other cards might share this quality; I had to look them each up one by one.  Which is my way of saying that I haven't had time to search all the cards yet.  But here are all the cards in the Base, Prosperity and Alchemy sets that share this quality.

Can anyone figure out what the shared quality is, and supply the missing cards from the other sets?

Base:
Chapel
Laboratory
Festival
Gold
Estate

Prosperity:
Bank
City
Forge

Alchemy:
University

Me niether. Does it have to do with the text on the card?

Just went through Intrigue, searching for more cards that hold the sought-after quality.  I found the results surprising.

Intrigue:
Courtyard
Pawn
Bridge

Gold but not Silver and it has to do with the text on the card? Does the word "Colorado" work?

I have no idea what Morgrim just keyed in on.

"Morgrim" does not work? And "eHalcyon" does, right?

Not a lot of hits from Seaside.

Seaside:
Warehouse

Actually, neither shares the sought-after quality.

Cornucopia only had one.

Cornucopia:
Harvest

While running the algorithm for the Cornucopia cards, I did accidentally discover that Young Witch possessed a quality that is, more or less, the opposite of the quality we're looking for.  Maybe not exactly the opposite, but it would be incredibly unlikely that one card could possess both. 

At some point I'll go back and check the previous sets to see which other cards possess this second quality.

The word "Cornucopia" works. So does "Dominion".

Only one hit from Hinterlands:

Hinterlands:
Inn

But, one hit on finding a card with the "opposite quality."  Which, I think this opposite quality is even more rare than the quality it's the opposite of!  I know, right?  By now, you should probably be able to guess what this one card is, if you're feeling lucky: Noble Brigand.

Cornucopia, no.  Dominion, yes!

morgrim: you're clearly close but not quite there

why don't you spell out what you think the rule is so we can try to work form there?

Usually if there is a word with alternating Vowels and Consonants or something close to that it works.

Sorry, that's incorrect.  The algorithm I'm relying on doesn't base it's results on vowel or consonant patterns.

Great!  Not sure what the confusion would be, though.

It's probably got to do with converting the letters to numbers (a = 1, z = 26), adding them up and seeing if the number is prime.


Inn = 9 + 14 + 14 = 37 = prime
Harvest = 8 + 1 + 18 + 22 + 5 + 19 + 20 = 93 != prime
Warehouse = 23 + 1 + 18 + 5 + 8 + 15 + 21 + 19 + 5 = 115 != prime

Okay, so the theory about "prime words" doesn't hold, but probably it's something like that.
