/sci/ needs to think
Suppose I have thought up an integer between 0 and 15 inclusive. Is it possible to deduce the number by asking me seven true or false questions if I may lie on at most one of the questions?

Will post the solution once enough thought has been generated!

pls stop asking questions don't you know the universe can only take so much entropy?

Please do your homework alone. It's really not difficult to figure out.

If I really wanted homework help, why would I ask /sci/?
THIS IS NOT HOMEWORK
>>
>>7695232
It's definitely a homework question for a freshman CS class.
>>
>>7695238
That's totally possible, but it's not -my- homework question, nor do I study CS.
>>
>>7695246
Then google is your friend, shitposting faggot.

Write the number as
[math]8 a_3 + 4 a_2 + 2 a_1 + a_0[/math]
with [math]a_i \in \{0, 1\} [/math].

>Ask if a_3 is 0.
>Ask if a_2 is 0.
>Ask if a_1 is 0.
>Ask if a_0 is 0.
>Ask if a_3 + a_2 is even.
>Ask if a_1 + a_0 is even.
For the last question either repeat question 2 or question 4 depending on the answers.
>>
>>7695251
Google why exactly?
I have the solution for this question.
>read the OP next time
>>
>>7695255
This is close to a complete solution.
There is actually a possible last question that we can ask which does not depend on the answers given and does not involve repeating any of the questions.
>>
>>7695258
I don't really believe you. Either you are fishing for someone to do your homework or you are asking a very easy question you already know the answer to for no reason. Which would you believe?

>>7695258
That's the dumb, complicated way to do it.
>>
>>7695274
This question was actually generated from the end of a supervision a few weeks ago.
The point of the thread was to get discussion going on a "fun" question.
Regardless, your belief in me is not required for a discussion.
>>
>>7695280
What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? You're just digging yourself deeper into a hole of nonsense.
>>
>>7695287
Which part is not understandable?
