    Any takers? I have a third set of words, when this is finished.
  4. bonanova

    Agreed. Nice one.

    To get started, if you draw two marbles only, what is the probability one is red and the other is blue?
  6. bonanova

    Helpful idea. Find sets of three numbers a1 a2 a3 that beat b1 b2 b3 but are beaten by c1 c2 c3. Then label the dice a1 a1 a2 a2 a3 a3 etc.

    OK here it is ... There is a strategy that will guarantee 50% survival whatever the warden does. What is it? This solution is really quite clever. And having said that of course, I have to disclaim ownership of it.

    Updating the previous tried words: [1] set _ _ _ romance - previous tries: see luv duo lay bed woo wed sit too hug free two fox [3] set _ _ _ _ heal - previous tries: mend clot right cast cure ease free well hint: use set as a verb. I think it's fair to say something about the solution process. Reading the spoiler will not disclose anything about either solution word.

    Nope... nice try tho. I think when you get to the solution word you'll be pretty sure it's the one. I hope so anyway.
  10. I could be wrong about 1/4. I just worked it out on some scratch paper. Thanks.

    I think they'll both be had in a day or so. Yours have been the most imaginative guesses, I think. I'm working on a third set of words, if people like this and want one more dose. Or maybe someone else would like to give it a try.

    No apology needed... I didn't do a very good job of monitoring answers on this one. I've had problems logging on to the site the last few days.
  13. bonanova

    All good guesses. I'm open to hints, but the consensus is not to have them. All I can say is they're not obscure at all, maybe just coming back with a fresh mind is best. Try [1] without thinking of the third word. Hmm I guess that's a hint of sorts.

    I got lucky then. I chose it because they behave consistently as binary numbers. I'm curious - how are these from the Sumers? Or is that still a question to be discovered?
