Numfield - Modified Pi Experiment

Don Reble

class BlindPig extends Strategy
{
    private int pi[] = {6,3,3,2,2,2,6,3,1,1};
    public int initial_turn() 
    { 
        return pi[0]; 
    }
    public int turn(int last_turns[], int scores[],
                int carryOver, int turn_no)
    {
        return pi[turn_no % pi.length];
    }
}

Simply look, what happens:

Long time even the best adaptive strategies didn't succeed in that environment only in December 1999 the first successfull ones appeared...

Ideas I had in BlindPig:

• Keep it period 10, to keep it similar ...
• Use a threefold repetition of digits, since TimeWarp cannot spot it.
• Use also repetition on a higher pattern level (6-3).
• Use lower numbers, like those on the Theory Page .
