Need A Sitter

Why yes, I need a sitter who can watch this account and the one on vdip.

I haven't got many games going, and I shouldn't be gone more than a week.
It's just that next week is exam week and I need the time off.

Logic puzzle: 4 is universal

The idea is that there is a pattern or set our rules by which every number is assigned another number and if you continue to apply this pattern you will eventually reach the number 4. For example: 20 is 6, 6 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, and 4 is 4, thus 4 is universal. The object of the puzzle is to figure out the pattern. Reply with any number and I will show how it becomes 4. If you figure it out, please post an example to show you know it instead of posting the answer.

Don't do advanced math to figure this out. Think about what about 20 has that is six long ... man it's hard to post without posting the answer.

One thing is certain - you feel like an idiot when you figure this puzzle out.

1 is 3, 3 is 5, 5 is 4, 4 is 4...
But it only works under certain conditions.
I, for instance could say that:
1 is 2, 2 is 4, 4 is 6, 6 is 4, 4 is 6, 6 is 4 and would enter an infinite loop under MY condition.

Duh!

13 is 8
8 is 5
5 is 4
4 is 4

That was too easy.

@JP - You're gonna feel like a fool when you finally figure it out... But here is some more hints

1 is 3
2 is 3
3 is 5
4 is 4
5 is 4
6 is 3
7 is 5
8 is 5
9 is 4
10 is 3
11 is 6
12 is 6
13 is 8

Seeing the pattern there yet?

@JP
I think with 13 you'll get stuck in your universal number. For the people in your neighboring country (only counting land borders) 7 works as well.

Per Olander (1651 )
10 Jan 12 UTC

if I start at 2, I never get anywhere else...

Per Olander (1651 )

I actually get stuck with either 2, 3 or 4...

I probably wouldn't have gotten it nearly so fast without citrus being a dbag and posting obvious hints. Don't spoil it for the rest of us, champ.

I have to agree with YJ that Citrus' clue made it far to easy to figure out. It's interesting that you can also get...

1=2
2=4
4=6
6=3
3=5
5=4
.

4=6
6=3
3=5

@2nd - no, 2 is 2! and 1 is 1, and 3 is 3...

@2WL - You are making the same mistake I did.

Draugnar (0 )

Oh, I love this one!

1.1 is 11
11 is 6
6 is 3
3 is 5
5 is 4
4 is 4

Of course you only ever get one decimal number at the start. It also works for negatives.

-1 is 11

6-1 is 11
11-1 is 14
14-1 is 16
16-1 is 15
15-1 is 15

Hmmmm... Interesting...

Draugnar (0 )

But when you add the numbers, you get a loop

14+1 = 15
15+1 = 14

For a math oriented person, I really dislike these types of puzzles. Math is a universal language, and to have it bastardized by English in a puzzle is just not acceptable.

@2ndWL: wrong language. :-)

2ndWhiteLine (2601 )

I get it...

So 2 is 3
3 is 4
4 is 6
6 is 4
4 is 6
Infinite loop!

Attention! I am finished with trolling.

No more illogical and irrational behavior from me. Just intelligent or at least semi-intelligent conversation from me. For a guaranteed 99% of the time. The other 1% of my comments can just be occupied.

The Holocaust complicity thread.

It seems that a large percentage of individuals on this site do not understand the truth about the complicity of the French, Italians, Dutch, Belgians, etc in perpetuating and widening the Holocaust.
This is too important to ignore. Thus the critical need for this thread.
