There was too much spam in Misc, so it was decided to get rid of General and rename Misc. It was a great pity. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Except that Thralni has, for some peculiar reason, turned it into a Word document, so that won't work. Edit: He didn't even do that. As far as I can tell, he renamed a .gz file to be a .doc file, then mangled it in some other way. I can only assume that insanity is involved somewhere.

Yes, use of const in the function declaration helps, but you still have to go and look at the function declaration. The project is a compile-to-bytecode-then-interpreter for a scripting language, so if the C++ wasn't garbage collected we'd have to write a garbage collector for the scripting objects. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

C++ doesn't have built-in garbage collection, but you can add one. It's not perfect, but our project is one where manual memory management would be very difficult. I don't like references because you can't tell whether calling foo(i) will modify i without going and digging into the definition of foo. With foo(&i) it's much clearer. I'm not sure how good darcs is, but we're planning to find out. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I've had to learn C++ because of work. Our project doesn't use the features I like least (references and operator overloading) though, and we use a garbage collector. The Haskell is not because I want something, anything, that is functional. It's because Darcs is written in Haskell and blah blah. It looks like quite a nice language though. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I do C++ at work. Soon I'll be doing C++/CLI at work. If I'm not careful I'll end up doing Haskell at work. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

You seemed to be implying that if they all heard that all red-eyed monks must kill themselves at the same time as they could see that other monks had rd eyes, then they would all kill themselves. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

The information the tourist provides is: (1) There is at least one red-eyed monk (2) All the monks know that (1) is true (3) All the monks know that (2) is true (4) All the monks know that (3) is true etc If there are n monks with red eyes, then (n) (and anything beyond that, although it isn't relevant) is new information to them. The non-red-eyed monks already knew (n), but they didn't know (n+1) or above. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

A group of monks are living in an isolated monastery. Some of the monks have red eyes. They are cursed, and if they find out that their eyes are red, they must kill themselves at midnight. However, there are no mirrors, and the monks have taken a vow of silence so they can't tell each other their eye colour, so the red-eyed monks have coexisted with the others for years. But one day, when all the monks are gathered for their lunch, a tourist wanders in, unaware of the curse and the vow of silence, and says "At least one of you has red eyes". What happens? -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Alorael got it. Zeviz, it's not majority, it's parity. Another one: A group of five pirates has stolen 1000 gold pieces, and now they have to divide up the loot. They use the following method: The pirates are numbered from 1 to 5. Pirate 1 then suggests a loot distribution (eg "200gp each"), and they vote on whether to accept it. If the majority vote for it, that's what happens, otherwise pirate 1 is killed and pirate 2 suggests a division among the remaining four, which is then voted on, etc. If there is a tie, the result is taken to be "yes". All the pirates are very good at logic, and are totally greedy and bloodthirsty. They will vote in the way that gives them the most gold, and if it doesn't make a difference either way, they will vote to kill because they find that more fun. If called upon to suggest a distribution, they will pick the one that is best for them. How does the gold get divided?

Ten prisoners are due to be executed, but a rather twisted judge gives them a chance to survive. They are all lined up in front of each other, so each prisoner can see the people in front of him but not the people behind. The executioner puts a white or a black hat at random on each one, done so that nobody can see their own hat colour. Starting at the back, each prisoner has to say either "black" or "white". If he says the colour of his hat, he is freed, otherwise he is executed. Prisoners can hear what the previous ones said. In advance, they are allowed to come up with a strategy to save as many as possible. What should they do, and how many (on average) will survive? -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |
