puzzles	t3_9noxo	Spoilers Based on a little testing and looking for patterns first, then I came up with an informal proof: Odd number of blacks -> Black. Even number of blacks -> White. Attempt at an explanation: an even number of blacks will always retain their evenness. Either two blacks will be pulled and replaced with a white, two whites will be pulled and replaced with a white, or a b&w will be pulled and replaced by a black. Thus, if you start with an even number of blacks, you will finish with an even number of blacks. The BB and WW end conditions both produce white. Similarly, if you start with an odd amount of blacks, you can't ever get rid of that last black. As there is no operation that adds blacks, and you can only get rid of them in twos, you will always be stuck with an odd number of blacks. The only end condition in that case BW leads to black.	2	adremeaux	1,253,808,118	t3_9noxo	c0djfy8	null

puzzles	t3_9sgc1	Honestly, it just felt like another puzzle aspect. It really just caused me to label certain boxes "out" or "in", and eliminate all possible lines between numbers.

puzzles	t3_adhwj	http://home.wanadoo.nl/mike.henkes/uitleg.html Goal Try to move the yellow bar to the lower gray block, thats all !. You can transport the yellow bar by using the three "transport blocks" ( green ). If the yellow bar is inside two transport blocks, those blocks are joint together. There are two block that can't be moved. The "start" block and the "end" block and they are both gray. If you have transported the yellow bar from the "start" block to the "end" block, you solved the puzzle. How to move 1. Select a block by clicking on it ( it turns red ). 2. Click the empty position you want to move to ( block moves ). 3. Press the "move bar" button if you want to move the yellow bar.	1	joeyconrad	1,260,578,970	t1_c0h2jpq	c0h2n12	null

puzzles	t3_augxs	In the premise the fuse is poorly made, so that some parts of the fuse will burn faster than others. The solution assumes that sections of fuse will burn on average an equal fraction of the total burn time. Yet one half might take 45 minutes to burn, while the other would only take 15.	1	[deleted]	1,264,537,361	t3_augxs	c0jgbna	null
puzzles	t3_augxs	See it this way: If you light both ends, the first fuse will definitely burn out in 30 minutes. Because it is poorly made, the last bit that burns out may not be the center-piece. But that does not matter in any case. At this point, 30 minutes' worth of the second fuse is burnt out. The length may be less or more than half, but that does not matter! So, what is left will also take 30 minutes to completely burn out. Since we are lighting the other end at this point, in the same way as described above, the entire fuse is burn out in 15 minutes. This gives us the grand total of 45 minutes, needed to solve the problem.	4	ardil	1,264,547,214	t1_c0jgbna	c0jgosv	null

As always, it's moronic to not include answers for these. The "question" of a riddle isn't fascinating, clever, or even slightly interesting. It's the answer that everyone wants.

t3_9noxo

*Spoilers* Based on a little testing and looking for patterns first, then I came up with an informal proof: Odd number of blacks -> Black. Even number of blacks -> White. Attempt at an explanation: an even number of blacks will always retain their evenness. Either two blacks will be pulled and replaced with a white, two whites will be pulled and replaced with a white, or a b&w will be pulled and replaced by a black. Thus, if you start with an even number of blacks, you will finish with an even number of blacks. The BB and WW end conditions both produce white. Similarly, if you start with an odd amount of blacks, you can't ever get rid of that last black. As there is no operation that adds blacks, and you can only get rid of them in twos, you will always be stuck with an odd number of blacks. The only end condition in that case BW leads to black.

Honestly, it just felt like another puzzle aspect. It really just caused me to label certain boxes "out" or "in", and eliminate all possible lines between numbers. Given its small size, I'd say it was moderately easy, yet not trivially easy. I'd like to see a larger one. :-)

http://home.wanadoo.nl/mike.henkes/uitleg.html Goal Try to move the yellow bar to the lower gray block, thats all !. You can transport the yellow bar by using the three "transport blocks" ( green ). If the yellow bar is inside two transport blocks, those blocks are joint together. There are two block that can't be moved. The "start" block and the "end" block and they are both gray. If you have transported the yellow bar from the "start" block to the "end" block, you solved the puzzle. How to move 1. Select a block by clicking on it ( it turns red ). 2. Click the empty position you want to move to ( block moves ). 3. Press the "move bar" button if you want to move the yellow bar.

t3_augxs

In the premise the fuse is poorly made, so that some parts of the fuse will burn faster than others. The solution assumes that sections of fuse will burn on average an equal fraction of the total burn time. Yet one half might take 45 minutes to burn, while the other would only take 15.

See it this way: If you light both ends, the first fuse will definitely burn out in 30 minutes. Because it is poorly made, the last bit that burns out may not be the center-piece. But that does not matter in any case. At this point, 30 minutes' worth of the second fuse is burnt out. The length may be less or more than half, but that does not matter! So, what is left will also take 30 minutes to completely burn out. Since we are lighting the other end at this point, in the same way as described above, the entire fuse is burn out in 15 minutes. This gives us the grand total of 45 minutes, needed to solve the problem.

From the article: >You are given a dictionary of all valid words. You have the following 3 operations permitted on a word: delete a character, insert a character, replace a character. Now given two words - word1 and word2 - find the minimum number of steps required to convert word1 to word2. (one operation counts as 1 step.) You are allowed to perform as many of the operations as you want, it's just listing them for you. Also, this is more programming than puzzle.
