I don't think that this produces correct results, as it seems to determine whether each individual number is Numberwang. However, whether a number is Numberwang can also depend on the previous numbers in the sequence or other factors.
So I think as it stands right now this model can only determine whether a number would be Numberwang as the first number of a sequence, but even for that I still wouldn't rely on this in the actual game show.
- wrs 20d agoDo we really know that? Or have we only seen the sequences from people searching for Numberwang? Has a number been both Numberwang (or Wangernumb) and not Numberwang (or Wangernumb)?
- tazjin 20d agoYeah, we do - there's a famous episode where after rotating the board both contestants stubbornly kept picking 1, and after a couple of iterations one of them was Wangernumb.
- wrs 19d agoOh, well, after rotating the board, sure, I get that.
- debugnik 19d agoI can confirm this is the first episode, which I just watched since I had no idea about Numberwang until a minute ago. So I guess a true Numberwang fan would know that.
- gaigalas 19d agoObviously, it depends on whether board has rotated or not. It seems the model doesn't support board rotation yet, so the result is consistent with the limited set of features.
- Scaled 19d agoAlso you must factor in what's behind the board!
- tgv 19d agoThe rule book is quite big. You must have seen it in one of the many ads for the family board game version. As one site summarizes it: > A NumberWang "board game in a box" was produced in 2008, including the board, numbers, two 400-sided dice, special hosting accessories and all 37 volumes of the rules so that you can say "That's NumberWang!" with confidence. For everyone from ages 8 to 88. So even the true fan may falter in his or her judgement.
- aesthesia 20d agoI'm also not sure that we know a non-number can never be Numberwang.
- ceocoder 20d agoA non-number could be either a Numberwang OR a Wanganumb - this does depend on whether Yorkshire is a pudding or not.
- jmcqk6 19d agoIt's not well known, but in February of 1983, there was a finch in the Galapagos that was found to be numberwang. And of course there was the famous incident in the 1994 World Series where a homerun was overturned because it turned out it was a wangernumb hit into the stands, and not a standard baseball.
- aidenn0 19d agoIf you think about The Event you can figure it out. (Don't think about The Event).
- blipvert 19d agoIt is unlikely to be necessary on HN to remind readers to remain indoors.
- TechSquidTV 19d agoWoah believe it or not, that's Numberwang!
