Problem 51 Dungeons and Dragons hints
Back to Problem Solutions forum
Hi, this post is just to request for help with problem 51.
I think what I need, and many others will benefit from, is what exactly should we be comparing?
My current idea is to compare the top 3 numbers of each possible combination (yes that is a lot) and then compare it with the top 3 numbers in the input. If they are the same, I will know which combination it is. However that seems like a very brute way to do it? And I am sure that it won't provide good answers because it is difficult for the top 3 calculated to be the same as the input.
Any guides or hints to what I should be looking out for?
Hi Friend!
and then compare it with the top 3 numbers in the input
If I understand correctly, this won't help. There is no guarantee all tops will be presented in the input.
Any guides or hints to what I should be looking out for?
Statistics, as it is said in problem statement. Distribution of values in the input. Think or read a bit more about this, I don't want to spoil you the joy of solving this small puzzle :)
