It's non-trivial if you apply a computer science algorithm, true. Scrabble's trivial if you have a dictionary, chess is trivial if you have Stockfish installed.

It's non-trivial if you apply a computer science algorithm, true. Scrabble's trivial if you have a dictionary, chess is trivial if you have Stockfish installed...checkers...do they have a Stockfish?
More directly: it's actually pretty fun to guess these straight up. disclaimer: I have a strong bias towards having fun with color stuff - c.f. https://material.io/blog/science-of-color-design https://material.io/blog/science-of-color-design.
RGB is neigh-meaningless, true. Here, I get to exercise my intuition I should balance between red and blue based on warmth via hue of the color. Then, jack up G to match the lower of the two if its a light color / has high tone.
- jncfhnb 3y agoScrabble is far from trivial with a dictionary :)
- bombcar 3y agoExactly why we used to play with various levels - everyone could refer to the two letter word sheet with Q without U words also, and the players given a handicap could use the dictionary, though limited to 30 seconds on their turn.
- jncfhnb 3y agoEhhh no not what I meant. Scrabble is far from trivial even if you have a solver that shows all possible word combinations with your hand.
- refulgentis 3y agoDude come on lol
- jncfhnb 3y agoHigh level scrabble play isn’t a greedy algo to get the most points every turn with the best words. Positioning around bonuses matters more.
- IshKebab 3y ago> It's non-trivial if you apply a computer science algorithm, true Noughts and crosses? It's non-trivial if you're 8. No fancy algorithms needed. The other examples you mentioned can't be solved by an 8 year old in their heads. > do they have a Stockfish? No, which is why chess is still fun. You don't need a computer or even a pen and paper to solve noughts and crosses, or this.
