The only way to truly solve this puzzle is to look at the source code. Even then there is the possibility that the machine (be it virtual or real) may make a "mistake".

Anyone who says that they have got it right after the first roll obviously does not understand much about proof.

On one level you can get the answer but is this answer truly correct? What proof do you have that this answer always works?

I got it within the first ten times that I tried it -- within one minute.

My father got it THE FIRST TIME he tried it -- and got every single one correct.

For a long time now I've been really into games like this, to see how long it takes for me to figure it out. I think that might be why it was so easy for me -- because I'm used to thinking on those wavelengths.

I hope it doesn't mean I can't think on NORMAL wavelengths.

As with every other thinking and deduction and logic problem that I introduce to others, I swear I will never just give the answer away. I will, however, continue bugging the others about it to continue trying it until they finally do figure it out.

Have fun.

Nothing like simplicity to make you feel like a total putz. But in our defense, it is quite metaphorical.
