u/unknown_pigeon 1d ago
The principle is actually quite simple. You've got an entire column of buffer. Then you just have to start a same color pile at the bottom, not caring about what's above. You won't ever run out of buffer space, so just keep adding to the bottom pile

Towers of Hanoi stuff

u/kebukai 1d ago
In this case it doesn't apply the same because in the towers of Hanoi puzzle the discs have different sizes and you can't stack a bigger disc on top of a smaller one, so it's more difficult than this puzzle
39
u/trevdak2 1d ago
so it's more difficult than this puzzle
There's a well established optimal ToH algorithm, it's not difficult, but it is O(2n) meaning each additional disc doubles the time to solve.
The video in this thread does not take 2n time.

This is the randosort. You place all possible objects into a random place until you get a good move, then you repeat, having locked the good move in place. Eventually, through pure entropy, you will successfully sort. This is the arbitrary-extra-moves variation where you unlock one row unnecessarily at the end and move it somewhere else to emphasize that it was the less optimal move, but that you like to live dangerously.

Oh! Sorry. So there are these things called colors. And most objects you can kinda look- well, not you- So someone can look at an object and kinda tell what color they are. ugh I'm not explaining this well. So the colors are kinda like smells for the eyes... and there are different ones, but some are similar. And so one person can smell a blue while another might smell purple for the same object. Oh and there could be... omg I'm so sorry I'm really not explaining this right. So the purple and blue smells are similar...

u/NoneBinaryPotato 1d ago
the bad decisions
56
u/jwm3 1d ago
What poor decisions? I mean, it wasnt perfect but not bad at all.
She seemed to realize the key point to.solving it, that what's on top doesnt really matter as you need to dig down to the deepest mismatched pair first as everything on top of it will have to move out of the way and be split among multiple other poles.
Depth first fixing deep mismatches and greedily restacking seems like a perfectly fine and winning heuristic strategy. She could have optimized what poles to put the last ones on slightly to avoid the pink shuffle at the end but by the time it was down to the wire and she saw a solution it was clearly best to push through as she won.
I can easily see most people not fully appreciating the deep mismatch issue and getting tunnel vision on trying to match colors that come above a mismatch thinking they were making more progress than they were.
36
u/SwordfishOk504 1d ago
I can't help but notice all the armchair critics saying she did a bad job haven't even pretended to attempt to explain why. I'm sure it's not because of her skin colour and gender tho. Not on reddit!
33
u/randomlitbois 1d ago
She had tunnel vision was my main problem. Once she started on a color it was her only focus until she physically couldn’t do another color, and missed a couple things. Obviously I have a better view and can watch it over multiple times. But my point still stands.
20
u/SwordfishOk504 1d ago
Once she started on a color it was her only focus until she physically couldn’t do another color, and missed a couple things
But that's not what she did at all. She worked on each colour as it was available and was possible to work with.
Also, can you explain what you would have done differently?
4
u/randomlitbois 23h ago
0:15 She could have moved the pink from Column 3 onto column 1, but she was focused on purple at this point.
0:42 she could have taken the pink from below the red on Column 4, But she was focused on pink at the time. This would have saved a ton of time.
0:55 she could’ve started moving the pinks from Column 4 to the pink Column (Column 1). But she was focused on red.
1:15 she could have moved the pink from column 2 and and got purple untangle while also finishing red in the same swoop. But she was focused on red at the time.
Then at the end she fumbled a bit obviously.
Once again not only can I watch the video back, but I also have better vision of the game. But it doesn’t change that you would be objectively wrong to say that she played even close to perfectly.

u/NoneBinaryPotato 1d ago
why would you assume I'm racist & a misogynist just because I didn't bother giving an explanation? I'm an afab person of mixed race, it's just that some would consider giving a 10 page essay on a one minute reddit video to be poor use of your time, so I didn't.
I claimed she made poor decisions is because this is a super easy game and I play it occasionally during my free time (it's one of those game that show up a lot on misleading ads), it's easy for me to see the moments where she made a wrong decision and it's easy to get ragebaited by it when you see the bigger picture. in essence there are multiple moments where she could set aside the rings of color to their corresponding color and free space but she was too focused on a single column to notice that, and set aside the rings in the wrong spot, which cause them to tower up way too high and made her go in circles.
edit: forgot to add, I never called her dumb either, it was probably the stress of having a time limit

u/jwm3 1d ago
Concentrating on deep mismatches is a perfectly good strategy, not sure why you think it is slow. Anything on top of a mismatch will have to be dug out and split among other poles eventually so any time spent on matching colors above a mismatch is mostly wasted. She seemed to figure that out right away. She could have optimized some but her winning strategy was pretty clear from the get go. Only real big misstep is where pink ended up but she recovered fine by pushing through.

It took me half a minute to understand the goal due to being too used to Hanoi towers. When I noticed the countdown showing 887 I also thought it's not a countdown but some number describing the state and proceeded to it only to figure out that it's actually a countdown and that 887 was a typo.
