Help W/ Pearl Game

[Mayhem26]

Is there a way to explain how to win w/o using the binary code? i try to follow it, but always seem to lose below the 220 needed to win..

Can you explain this to a stupid person like myself that doesnt understand the code (and ive read all the threads here)..

Or maybe just make it even MORE dummied down, if possible..

[Drew2]

i dont get it either, i guess were both stupid

[disturbed]

try looking in a thread for the pearl game

[Rody]

just go to www.transience.com and play the game there as well on ebuamsworld then just copy each move:confused:

or just have 2 games open on ebaums....

[lowlife]

how would having 2 copies of the pearl game open at one time help you win?

1. Put 3 digit binary code for the # of pearls into a row.
2. Stack each rows 3 digit binary code on top of one another.
3. 3 columns from that will be added up, by column.
4. If column Sum = even # (0,2,4), 1s & 0s cancel each other out.
5. If column sum = odd # (1,3,5), 1s & 0s don't cancel out.
6. Goal after each move - Column sum results of all even #'s, with 1s and 0s cancelling each other out.

Below are the 3 digit Binary codes for #s 0 - 6, followed by a move by move example. Note: since the game is won by leaving the game with one pearl, the winning move will not result in an even column.

I attempted to attach a file that does the math automatically. I've never posted here, so I hope it makes it. If not, hear you go.

Just saw the move by move is messed up....

I have an Excel spreadsheet that calculates the math as the game is played, and it got messed up formatting, cutting, pasting... into text.

Email me if you want the spreadsheet sent as an attachment,
