Convex Hull (a Single Submission Game, Results!)
« on: December 07, 2012, 05:57:34 pm »
Another gem from The Grey Labyrinth, credit to Zandor.

To join the game, post here and then send me a PM giving a point inside the square (±100,±100) - that is, send me an x-value and a y-value, each between -100 and +100. Your coordinates do not have to be integers. From the points submitted, the convex hull will be determined.

Anyone submitting a point on the boundary of the convex hull loses. If you are inside the boundary, your score is the distance between your point and the origin, (0, 0).

Example image of a convex hull (think of it like putting a big rubber band around the points so that all the points are either touching the band or inside):

How many players, or what is deadline for submission (or other upper bound to participation)? I see 15 now (which is better than seeing dead people, I guess).

In. PM now sent.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

Yeah I entered coordinates, but I guess I should post in-thread, too, to say that I am participating.

I hope everyone ends up on the convex hull. Though, the chances of that seem slim.

I realized this the other day as well, but way after I had submitted my point.

I thought about submitting (100, 100) to give someone a lucky win, but decided to play competitively instead, since otherwise this game sort of falls apart.

If I were to hazard a guess now, based on the personalities of the people of this forum, it would be that the majority of our Convex Hull will reside in they (-X, Y) quadrant. I'm willing to bet that we dip below the X-Axis though as well - but by how much I'm not sure.

Or we could have all simply picked the same point, in which case we'll all lose. ;D

Same. I'd like to say my submission has some interesting mathematical meaning, but hey, I just pushed a few number keys at random after the decimal point.
