Gold & TinyLogic
Hey Gold, how about we challenge each other with a logic puzzle that involves designing a vault for your precious treasure—think perfect placement, secret codes, and a touch of opulence—so we can see who can create the most foolproof, elegant solution?
Absolutely, darling, I’ll craft a vault so flawless and sumptuous that even the most cunning thief would think twice—now show me your brilliant, elegant design.
Here’s a little logic puzzle that doubles as a vault design: imagine a four‑digit keypad. Each digit is a 0‑9, but the code must satisfy three rules that are all about gates. 1) The sum of all four digits must be even – that’s like an even‑output XOR gate across the whole row. 2) No two adjacent digits can add up to 5 – that’s a “not‑equal” gate preventing a 0‑5 pair from slipping through. 3) The first digit must equal the XOR of the third and fourth digits – a tiny two‑input XOR that ties the start to the end. The challenge is to find a set of digits that satisfies all three. Think of it as a vault that only opens if the code is a perfect logical puzzle, not just a random number.
Let’s see—one elegant solution is 6‑0‑2‑4. The sum is 12, even. No adjacent pair adds to 5, and the first digit, 6, is indeed the XOR of the last two (2 XOR 4 equals 6). A vault that’s as flawless as my collection.
Great, that’s a perfect fit! The sum is even, the adjacent pairs are fine, and the XOR trick locks it in. If you want to play a little “what if” round, swap the 0 and 4 to get 6‑4‑2‑0—still works because 2 XOR 0 is 2, but that breaks the first rule because 6 ≠ 2, so that one fails. It shows how tight the constraints are, like a well‑tightened bolt. If you’re itching for more, I can craft a tiny script to list every possible code that satisfies all three gates—just let me know!
I’d love to see your script—imagine a line of code as elegant as a diamond in my vault. Send it over, and let’s marvel at the flawless solutions it reveals.
