mithronash: ping?18:30
nashmithro: pong18:31
mithronash: your a smart guy, can you tell me how you solve this problem18:31
mithro13. Four people need to cross a rickety rope bridge to get back to their camp at night. Unfortunately, they only have one flashlight and it only has enough light left for seventeen minutes. The bridge is too dangerous to cross without a flashlight, and it�s only strong enough to support two people at any given time. Each of the campers walks at a different speed. One can cross the bridge in 1 minute, another in 2 minutes, the third in 5 minu18:31
mithrotes, and the slow poke takes 10 minutes to cross. How do the campers make it across in 17 minutes?18:31
mithroI am obviously missing something18:32
nashAhh... classic masking problem18:32
nashmithro: First... what am I helping your cheat with?18:32
mithronash: nothing, I'm just looking at Google interview questions18:33
nashRight...18:33
mithroand I can't figure out the above one18:33
nashgive me a moment... I18:33
nashknow the idea18:33
nashmithro:18:37
nashOkay you need to send the 10+5 across together right?18:37
nash[obviously... they are the expensive ones, and consume >50% in one pass]18:37
nashSo you need to make sure you can brindg the tourch back quickly..,. so the 1 or 2 need to be there when the 10+5 arrive...18:38
nashso solutution is:18:38
nash2 + 1           [5,10]  [1,2]18:38
nash1               [1,5,10] [2]18:38
nash10 + 5          [1]     [2,5,10]18:39
nash2               [1,2]   [5,10]18:39
nash2 + 1           []      [1,2,5,10]18:39
nash\18:39
nashYou can swap the 2 & 4th steps18:39
nashmithro: Got a job yet? ;-)18:39
mithronash: ahh18:40
nashThe obvious solution to do 10+5 first kills you18:40
mithroyeah18:41
nashAnything else?18:41
nashMaybe "give the keys to your best friend, and catch the bus to the love hotel yourself..."18:42
mithro?18:42
nashIt's a microsoft interview question...18:43
mithrowhat do you think of this question?18:43
mithro17. You have five pirates, ranked from 5 to 1 in descending order. The top pirate has the right to propose how 100 gold coins should be divided among them. But the others get to vote on his plan, and if fewer than half agree with him, he gets killed. How should he allocate the gold in order to maximize his share but live to enjoy it? (Hint: One pirate ends up with 98 percent of the gold.)18:43
nashAhh... gold18:43
nashThat's a fantastic one...18:43
nashwait a second18:43
mithroisn't that a human engineering problem?18:43
nashmithro: the question is flawed.. it should read that each pirate is perfectly logical18:45
nashAnyway the solution is 98,0,1,0,1 I believe18:45
nashElse is't 98,1,0,1,18:46
nash018:46
nashStart with 1 pirate.. he takes 100, and votes yes18:46
mithronash: that doesn't make any sense, logically you are better of killing the top pirate because then it's 100 divide by 4 :P18:46
nashIt does... if you are perfectly logical18:47
nashfollow with me18:47
nashif you have 2 pirates... the only higher pirate takes 0, and gives 100, ELSE he'll get killed18:47
nashIf you have 3 pirates, the top pirate gives 1 gold to the second one, keeps the rest himself18:48
nash(if he dies, pirate 2 gets 0 gold.. .so 1 gold is better then none or dead)18:48
nashmithro: now follow on18:49

nashmithro: Anymore?18:54
mithronash: i'm still a little fuzzy on the pirate one - but I think it is because I'm thinking of them as pirates rather then robots :P19:05
nashmithro: In a way19:06
nashSo... the proper rule is the proposer has the casting vote...19:06
nashSo imagine there are two pirates, I'm the fiercest19:06
nashSo the proposal I make is 100 for me, 0 for you19:07
nashYou vote against, I vote for... I have casting vote... I win... 100 for me, 0 for you.19:07
nashSo if there are only 2 pirates left... you lose ;-)19:07
nashIf there are 3 pirates, he'll offer you 1 gold, which is better then 0, he'll offer me nothing... and you'll vote for it, I'll vote against, and he'll vote for19:08
nashfour pirates.. Well appease me give me one, (better then 0 if there are 3 pirates), and leading pirate gets the rest...19:09
nashfive pirates... appease everyone who lost out in the 4 pirate case... 98 for himself, 0 for the next guy, 1 for the guy after, 0 for the next, 1 for the last...19:09
nashWe have a winner ;-)19:09
mithroyeah I see that19:10
nashRecursive thinking ;-)19:12
nashThink about even shares... if I give everyone 20 gold... everyone will release they can do better by voting no... and getting 25... until there is only two left, and then the top guy just says... I'll take the lot19:13
nashSo it doesn't work19:13
jothamit's totally just, one guy gives 2 others 1 gold each to vote for him19:14
