https://gizmodo.com/gizmodo-monday-puzzle-perfect-poker-hand-1851383278Puzzle #37: Transparent Poker
You and I will play a variant of poker. We will spread out the entire deck of 52 cards face up. You will pick any five cards you want, and then I will pick any five cards I want from the remaining deck. Then you have a chance to discard any number of cards you want from your hand (including discarding no cards), place them permanently out of the game, and replace them with any cards of your choice from the remaining deck. I then get to do the same. Whoever has the best five-card poker hand after the replacements wins.
What cards should you pick on your first turn to guarantee that you win the game? If we end with the same hand, then I win.
The puzzle has more than one solution, but one stands out as the most natural. As a bonus,
what is the worst five-card poker hand that you can start with to still guarantee a win? Find the ranking of poker hands here* if you need a refresher.

>>3737114Reckon the best hand to pick on the first turn is
four 10s and a king. But the king can be any other card really. This should guarantee a win with at worst a 10-high straight flush. And I suppose the worst poker hand to guarantee a win is
a jack and a 6 of the same suit and the three 10s of the other suits.

Happy Tax Evasion Day! Just kidding. We all need to contribute our fair share to keep society running. Anyway,
>>3737342 got last week's puzzles. Now on to this week's new puzzle.
https://gizmodo.com/gizmodo-monday-puzzle-tax-evasion-1851405379Puzzle #38: Tax EvasionYou and a Tax Collector sit across a table with 12 paychecks on it. The paychecks are worth every whole dollar amount between 1 and 12 ($1, $2, $3, …, $12). You select paychecks for yourself one at a time, but every time you take a paycheck, the Tax Collector immediately takes all remaining checks whose values are factors of the number you chose. For example, if you choose the $8 check, then the Tax Collector will take the $1, $2, and $4 checks because 1, 2, and 4 are factors of 8. If the $2 check had already been claimed on a prior turn, then the Tax Collector would only take the $1 and $4 checks.
The Tax Collector must be able to take some paycheck on every turn. If you run out of legal moves (for example, if only paychecks $8 and $9 remain, then you can’t take either of them because their factors aren’t available to your opponent) then the Tax Collector takes all remaining paychecks.
What is the largest amount of money you can claim for yourself in this game? 75ca45e8 No.3737695

Math Puzzle Monday! Congrats to
>>3737860 for adroitly dealing with the taxman. Now for this week's new challenge.
https://gizmodo.com/gizmodo-monday-puzzle-number-that-describes-itself-1851383295Puzzle #39: A Self-Referential NumberOnly one 10-digit number has the following property. Its left-most digit is the number of 0s in the number, the next digit is the number of 1s in the number, the next is the number of 2s, and so on until the right-most digit, which is the number of 9s in the number.
Find the number. Numbers can’t begin with a zero.
An example of a four-digit number with this property is 2020. The first digit indicates that the number contains two 0s, the next indicates zero 1s, the next indicates two 2s, and the final indicates zero 3s.
Bonus: you can seed the look-and-say sequence with any whole number. For example, if you started with 39, then the next entry would be 1319 (one three, one nine). Conway proved that all seeds yield a sequence whose entries grow to infinity, with only one exception.
Find the exception. df1f0316 No.3738895

Question 1: In the following sequence, what do the letters V and C stand for?
V C C C V C C C V C C C C C V C C C C C V C C C C C
Question 2: On a digital 24-hour clock (military time) that displays hours, minutes, and seconds, how many times in each 24-hour period do all six digits change simultaneously?
Question 3:Jamaica + Japan = 124
Argentina + Armenia = 1245
France + Brazil = 23
England + Germany = ?

>>3739033 got the three challenges from last week. Now on to this week's new challenge.
Puzzle #41: Time WarpIf you swap the hour hand and the minute hand on an analog clock, how many possible valid times can it still display? For example, typical clocks sometimes have both hands pointing at the 12 (corresponding to noon) and sometimes have the long hand pointing at the 12 while the short hand points directly at the 6 (corresponding to 6:00), but only the former example will occur on our modified clock—what time would be displayed if you swapped the hands at 6:00? It almost looks like 12:30, but the hour hand should be halfway to the 1.
Clarifications: The valid times don’t have to be the correct time. Ignore AM and PM, just count the number of valid times once around the clock. The hands move continuously (not discretely) around the clock face. The clock has no second hand.

Punctuate the following so that they make sense:
that that is is that that is not is not is that it it is
James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher
Below, fill in the three blanks with the same letters in the same order so that the resulting sentence makes sense. You may add spaces between letters as needed:
The ____ doctor was ____ to operate on the patient because there was ____.
For example, “I ____ wish my doctor would tell me ____ when she was free for an appointment” could be completed with “sometimes” and “some times,” respectively.

https://gizmodo.com/gizmodo-monday-puzzle-anarchy-tic-tac-toe-1851477626Puzzle #43: Anarchy Tic-Tac-ToeYou and I will play a game of tic-tac-toe, and you’ll go first. Instead of you always placing an X and me always placing an O, we’re both free to place either symbol in any open cell on our turns. The first person to create a three-in-a-row of either type (XXX or OOO) wins the game.
Which one of us can force a win and how?Most tic-tac-toe puzzles can at least be solved through extensive trial and error, but the good ones don’t require it. While tinkering with diagrams will help you gain intuition, you shouldn’t need to fill your notebook with them.

https://gizmodo.com/gizmodo-monday-puzzle-amazon-interview-question-dice-1851477638Puzzle #44: Blank DiceAmazon interview question: If you roll two typical dice and sum their results, you’ll get a number between 2 and 12. However, not every number is equally likely (e.g. you’ll only get a 2 if you roll snake eyes, whereas 7s will come up often). Suppose you have one normal die and one blank die (a small cube with no numbers on it). Label the blank die with some subset of the numbers
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 so that when you roll both dice, all sums from
1 to 12 are equally likely. You must label every face of the blank die, and you may repeat numbers.
Bonus questions about blank dice, courtesy of Dmitry Kamenetsky: Given two blank dice A and B, label them with the digits 1 through 12 once each (no repeats) so that when you roll them, there is a 50% chance that A rolls higher than B and a 50% chance that B rolls higher than A.
Label three blank dice using the digits 1 through 18 once each (no repeats) so that when you roll them, each die has an equal chance of being the highest.
Although these might seem like a tedious exercise in trial and error, they all have pretty intuitive solutions. I found the last problem particularly satisfying, but you have to work up to it by solving the smaller case first.

I saw someone wearing a t-shirt with the following
x = A \ b
The fact that the 'A" is capitalized and that a backslash was used instead of a forward-slash makes me think this is either some kind of programming or formal logic equation but I don't know what the significance is.
Any ideas?

>>3741763A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (two weeks). The word derives from the Old English term fēowertīene niht, meaning "fourteen nights" (or "fourteen days", since the Anglo-Saxons counted by nights).
