Not according to
Im a little confused but dont have tine to play anyway, so I will enjoy watching and hopefully learn something. From the brief description it looks fun!
The initial post for the game will be something like this:
Verifier A: This verifier will test the relationship between one of the colors and 4.
(Options: B>4, B=4, B<4, Y>4, Y=4, Y<4, P>4, P=4, P<4)
Verifier B: This verifier will test the sum of the colors compared to 7.
(Options: Sum >7, Sum=7, Sum<7)
Verifier C: This verifier will test if one of the colors is equal to 2.
(Options: B=2, B<>2, Y=2, Y<>2, P=2, P<>2)
Verifier D: This verifier will test the parity of one of the colors.
(Options: B even, B odd, Y even, Y odd, P even, P odd)

OK, I’m not sure how many people are in, but we’ll say you are in if you submit by 6pm ET tomorrow.
All examples shown are listed in Blue Yellow Purple order.
Verifier A: This verifier verifies if there is a sequence of consecutive numbers in ascending or descending order.
Options: 1) No sequence (Ex: 135, 531); 2) Sequence of 2 numbers (Ex: 235, 532); 3) Sequence of 3 numbers (Ex: 234;432)
Verifier B: This verifier verifies if the sum of all three numbers is a multiple of 3, 4, or 5.
Options: 1) B+Y=P = 3x; 2) B+Y+P = 4x; 3) B+Y+P = 5x
Verifier C: This verifier verifies which color is the smallest or largest.
Options: 1) Blue smallest; 2)Blue largest; 3)Yellow smallest; 4) Yellow largest; 5) Purple smallest; 6) Purple largest
Verifier D: This verifier verifies the blue number compared to one of the other numbers.
Options: 1) B<Y; 2) B=Y; 3) B>Y; 4) B<P; 5) B=P; 6) B>P.
DM me a code and which 3 verifiers (or less, but that would be a strange choice in round 1) you want to use to test your code.
I got a DM question about clarifying verifier A.
If it was testing for a 2 sequence, 231 would give a yes (because 23 is a consecutive 2 sequence), and 234 would give a no (because it is a 3 sequence, and I believe it is supposed to be unambiguous.)
Verifier C clarification:
If you choose code 331, and it is testing ‘blue is largest’, then it will return no.
To be largest, it must be bigger than the other two numbers.
Ready for Next Round
2 things: 1) I forgot I said I’d play this game, so glad I didn’t miss the deadline, and 2) I’m so happy that MH is up for running games again!!!

Ready for Next Round
Don’t we just send a new 3 digit number and up to three verifiers to MH as soon as we know what we want?
Going with:
One turn of the game consists of the following steps:
- You choose a 3 digit number to test, and you can choose up to 3 verifiers to test it against, and send it to me via DM.
- I send you Yes or No for each of the verifiers you tested your number against.
- You respond in the thread ‘Ready for Next Round’ or ‘Attempt to Solve’
When you play in person, you pause between rounds and everyone declares simultaneously whether or not they want to proceed to the next round or are going to attempt to solve. Here, it’s not clear to me if there are more people still planning on doing round 1 before we proceed to round 2.
Yeah, I want to give people that were on the fence time to enter. Future rounds once everyone decides not to guess we’ll move on.
Ready for next round
Looks like 3 players this time. SteveWhite, nowsamantha, and BruteForce each are at 3 verifiers used. You can submit for round 2.
Ready for next round
All 3 submission received and responded to. Post here if you want to solve or if you are ready for next round.
I need to guess again, PM sent.
OK, I won’t be responding until we move on to round 3 for all players in case one of them wants to solve.

Rule clarification:
In a copy of the rules I found at https://cdn.1j1ju.com/medias/a6/12/e4-turing-machine-rulebook.pdf it states in the advanced strategy box on p. 4 that every verifier must be necessary, and in particular, no verifier repeats information gleaned from another verifier. I don’t know if the game has different rule sets, does that rule apply to us?
Partly asking in the interest of fair play, as I intend to apply that fact and want others to have a chance to do so as well.
I’m literally using a copy of the game to run this, so yes, that rule applies. Sorry I missed that in the summary.
