What other unanswered questions from shows would be fin to explore? Have you ever wondered if it was possible to write other programs for TV shows? Let me know in the comments!
I really enjoy logic puzzles like this. I hadn’t considered how to actually use computers to find the algorithm that has the highest likelihood of finding the solution. My favorite puzzle is the “green-eyed dragons” logic puzzle. I also love the Monty Hall problem and Knights and Knaves puzzle (the example of which in Labyrinth was probably what introduced me to the concept).
Ohh yes the Monty Hall problem is a really good one - I hadn't heard of the others! I should check those out. Writing code for riddles is tricky cause even mathematical ones have SO many logic and language assumptions that trying to account for every case would be a nightmare haha
izzitMichaela That’s a good point. I definitely tend to underestimate how complicated it will be to implement an algorithm until I think through the details of the pseudocode. Not to mention that riddles with unstated assumptions (and no way to clarify) tilt me in general.

Damn! Idk how you do the things you do. You always make it seem so simple.

Really good video!
Thanks John!!
The answer was always Magic!!
