Why you have to be retarded not to figure out the pearl puzzle

[emjay]

BECAUSE: Let him go first, see his move, write it down. Restart the game. Go first using HIS move, and see how he reacts to it. Write it down. Now let him go first, and then play the move HE just played... and do this until you figure out how to win. Once in a while he will do something a bit different but it's still generally the same.

I think this poll should be re-named to "Why you are such a loser who sits in front of his computer for hours until he solves a stupid puzzle then creates threads to make fun of people who aren't as big of a loser and refuse to waste as much time finding the answer while ironically making you the retard."

whats even more ironic is that i probably wasted more time writing this reply then it took to solve the puzzle. Damn I can't win.

right

of corse if you let him go you can win but have you ever gone first and tried to figure it out. I am just asking cus I want to know if it can be done by going first.

Its actually a binary mathematic puzzle...there is only one solution to it, and it involves binary numbers...here

1 = 1
2 = 10
3 = 11
4 = 100
5 = 101
6 = 110

Those are the binary numbers of the number of pearls in each row. The trick of this game is to always leave the dude with a sum of those binary numbers from each row with all even numbers, such as 202, 222, 022, etc (yes 0 can be considered an even number). I wont tell you how to do it, but if you just flex your math muslces, you'll figure it out quite easily...oh yeah and ignore his giggles when you know you're doing it right, it is to throw you off.

Good luck

I'm confused. I guess I'm just dumb and polish.

some one other thred has step by step senerieos(how do you spell that) on every move and counter move for the perals game with for rows it helped me alot. that game is like tic tac toe in that you have to make every move perfect or he will counter and laugh at you...its still fun though I like the first game with only three rows cus if you take 2 pearls out of the row of three and if you know the other 2 steps you can win every time....
