Nice gravure you got there btw. You have a nice hand. You drew it on 11.2013? I *think* I'm getting the point, (I may not, you don't think that I'm actually smart do you?) and I assume you tried to figure it out no?

Thanks. But that cartoon was not related to bitcoin, it was for lecture notes of a course on math for CS. Posted it here just because of the "Greeks and logic" topic.

I figured out it wasn't bitcoin related, that's why I posted the (2) answers... Wink

Seriously; messing around with random data and trying to find the logic in between was something that always excited me. The rarest "human" ability nowadays (and the centuries before) is/was the combinational knowledge (ie: how do you make sense from -phenomenally- random data). I believe this should be a mandatory test in every HR department of EVERY ''high tech'' company (computer/medical/pharmaceutical etc).

You see, it's not enough to possess the information (ie: studies), you must also be able to solve the puzzle! Now I'm typing this, I remembered that the "social myth" says, there is a test that every employee should pass in order to get hired in certain companies in Japan.

Here it goes:

Code:

A farmer returns from the market, where he bought a she-goat, a cabbage and a wolf (what a crazy market :-).
On the way home he must cross a river. His boat is small and won't fit more than one of his purchases.
He cannot leave the she-goat alone with the cabbage (because the she-goat would eat it), nor he can
leave the she-goat alone with the wolf (because the she-goat would be eaten).
How can the farmer get everything on the other side in this river crossing puzzle?
