In/Out #1

Rikand

I'm 'in'. The rest of you are 'out'.

As an 'in' I say statements of truth. You cannot guess directly at what this truth is, you must make statements like mine, and I tell you whether they are my truth or not. NOTE: MY truth is consistent and will not change through the challenge.

IF you get enough 'truths' to convince me you know my 'truth' - usually 3 statements in a row that are correct - you become 'in', and have the same powers as me - but all 'in' people stick to the same truth, as set by me.

You need to look for patterns in this so when I say 'X is true, but Y is false' you need to work out what rule or pattern is true for X (and all following statements), but not true for Y

Example #1:
It's true for yesterday but not for last week
It's true for submarine but not for submersible
It's true for revolution but not for revolt
(Answer, never stated explicitly: They are words from the titles of tracks by the Beatles )

Example #2:
It's true for book but not for literature
It's true for seen but not for visible
It's true for bookkeeper 3 times over, but not for librarian
(Answer, never stated explicitly: The word contains a two consecutive same letters)


So, the answer can be about word patterns, or from 'lists' from the outside word, or in fact any reasonable construct/pattern involving words and letters.

PLEASE DO NOT EVER SAY OUTRIGHT WHAT YOU THINK THE PATTERN IS.

Okay, this is at easy level, and is:

It's true for Die but not for Death
It's true for Never but not for Always
It's true for View but not for Scene

(Now, if you have an idea what it is, please say it in the form 'It's true for A, but not for B'. I will confirm if it's correct or not.)

When you are in, you can confirm other peoples answers when they make them as you now know the "truth"

but we never actually discuss or say what the truth is

It’s true for rake but not for spade.
It’s true for eye but not for ear.
It’s doubly true for gold but not for silver.

Rules clarification:
Once you're 'in' do you only give a straightforward 'Yes' or 'No', or can you say "Not quite" or "No, but I like the way you're thinking"?

Rikand

All comments made are at the discretion of those who are IN, IMO.

quickbeam

Asking here as you're the boss-man, but it's actually in relation to the other quiz, but is Google allowed?

Typically no. If you were in a situation where you were pretty sure you knew the connection but for whatever rhyme or reason couldn't think of words that fit the connection, then you would pm the game mod with what you thought the connection was and he would confirm if you're in/out on thread

quickbeam

Okay. I'll refrain from entering then, as I'd not have got it without Google. Thanks.

osh

Yeah I only got it after googling tbh. Didn’t realise it wasn’t allowed.

locum-motion

TBH, I used Wikipedia to confirm the truth before I posted number 3!!

osh

Well let’s just say without it I wouldn’t have a hope!

I think with these sort of games googling might not usually help much anyway.

Yeah if I'm honest I don't know what the general rule is. Maybe googling can be used when you've sussed the connection. I just know for me I haven't googled and then I'd PM the mod if I thought of the connection but couldn't think of more words.

I went back looking through a very old forum and found some games I still hadn't solved. I solved one there yesterday on a game that was created in 2009.

For me that's part of the fun. Still trying to work out the truths, days, weeks, years later

quickbeam

It wasn't that I knew the connection and went Googling for other answers. I literally Googled all the correct answers that came before to discover the answer. Which does cross your line, right?

I love this game already Rikand, thanks for the addition!

Yes. That's not you solving the puzzle. That's Google solving the puzzle.

I guess we can mark Google as "In"

osh

I think it’s better to come up with a question that can’t be easily googled. Like the Beatles one or <snip> one etc while technically could be googled they wouldn’t reveal anything most likely. And anything to do with the the structure of the words wouldn’t help with googling.

This one in question I never would have got as I just don’t know it.

Pawwed Rig

Is there a reveal or do you just let them run forever?

Rikand

Run forever.

The truth is never officially revealed

Pawwed Rig

OK. Have snipped the post above then.

This is it

It's true for Netflix but not for Amazon Prime
It's true for black but not for white
It's true for table but not for chair

Ok but given this is only a practice game you might tell the people who's aul neural pathways dont pick patterns up very well, a chance to rework it just for this game.

Its killing me how my brain just doesn't see it

Rikand is there another place where I can find more information on how this works?

Really want to play but I’ve probably read the OP about 20 times and my tiny pea brain just won’t get it

Rikand

If anyone wants to give up on it, just PM me or any of the other people who are in and they can tell you the truth. You won't be In, but at least you'll know
