Yes, as far as I know iOS devices do not have dedicated hardware for providing true randomness. But as technology progresses, this will change....
That's pretty well understood. New cards will only slide into rows or columns where cards were moved. If there is more than one possibility, it...
Let's do this! Well aren't you coming in at a crucial point in time. Going back on my own word from a few hours ago, I think with the combined...
If X is the size of the undrawn stack and red, blue and white cards make up equal parts then the most non-white cards you could draw in a row...
Since you do not know the total size of the undrawn stack (we are talking about cards after all) your method does not help you any more than mine....
I certainly could but to be honest, I won't. Understanding randomized algorithms purely by their output requires meticulous statistical work and...
We know from the designer Asher Vollmer that the distribution of numbers on drawn white cards is biased towards 3s (and probably low numbers) and...
First of all, I planned on getting a low score. Second of all, it took many attempts because the initial board configuration is random and you...
And was it corner, center or freestyle strategy? In other news, I just beat the previous lowest score. It's a nice 27, can you get lower?
Fair point. I was just harking on the word perfect. To me a perfect strategy: -always leads to the best possible outcome -can deal with any...
No, there actually is no such limit. If the cards sliding in are just right you can theoretically go on forever. Then again, nobody (not even...
If you lose like this then your strategy was not perfect. It can just as well save you in a tight situation. I had a 48 slide in next to another...
Skill vs Luck So now that two people have brushed on the topic of skill vs luck in Threes I feel the need to jump in. My take-away message...
Looking at Game Center, we get the following distribution of players to highest card: 3: 59,722 (100%) (baseline) 6: 59,679 (99.9%) 12: 59,441...
A different look on Threes! gameplay So after explaining the scoring system and trying to deduce the theoretically highest score I now return...
Perfect Score? That's a surprisingly difficult question to answer due to the moving of the tiles. The most valuable tile - as mentioned...
If there truly are only 12 white cards (which I strongly suspect), the last one will have the number 2^11 * 3 = 6144, worth 3^12 = 531,441 points....
Cryptic Message Okay people, listen up! We got another cryptic message from the insidious pixel-pusher aeiowu. Click this link to see the...
Scoring System I can explain the scoring system! To be honest, it doesn't help you achieve higher scores at all, I just found it interesting and...
I'm in the peculiar situation as someone else in this thread: I cannot log out of Game Center. As soon as I leave the GC section of Settings my...
