How do you pinpoint a specific unknown thing in an amount of
time less than the death of the Universe, when you don't have
enough information/some things are covered from view?
#minesweeper is an NP-complete game, #complexity problem -
there's many of them.
#npcomplete
The problem is this: They are trying to solve a problem that is
too ''Real world'' like using #limited tools like #mathematics
#logic that make one big assumption: That the #person doesn't
matter.
Or if you wanted to do a system without people, you can. But...
again - the problem is they are limited themselves to one
system, or a group of systems, thinking that a single tool can
solve all of the problems.
And so they rack their brains, offering million dollar prizes to
find the mathematical solution to P vs NP.
But here's the thing: the answer is *so simple* a four year old
could solve it.
Want to break every #NSA code known? Solve every #secret?
Ask. #ask *ask* _ask_
Don't want to ask? Don't want any time to pass to have the
answer?
Then you have to use the default answer:
''I don't know''.
I don't know is the answer you can give to any question
everywhere. and be absolutely 100% correct.
Don't like it? Want something more interesting than ''I don't
know''?
Then you have to use ANY MEANS NECESSARY to get the answer.
Example #minesweeper Want to know where the bombs are?
You can't look at it from top down and get the absolute answer.
Instead, you need to find the source code.
Or you need to have a program running off to the side that reads
where the bombs are being places as they are being placed
*outside of the rules of the game*.
You have to break the rules.
*You have to break the rules!*
_You have to break the rules!_
Want to solve #rubixcube faster than anybody in the world?
Peel off the stickers. Break the cube apart. Make rules that are
faster than the rules they gave you if speed is that important.
#dontcare
This is another solution to every problem. Stop caring about it.
Not interesting enough? Then ask. Research. Change the rules. Or
just say ''I don't know'' and or ''I don't care'' and you have
#solved the problem.
