Question
First question
- Can you determine who keeps fish?
⇤--#: . The question is not entirely specific enough to be clear. --Alexandra Kuhn 19:43, 30 August 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack)
----#: . The answer to this question is either "yes" or "no". I don't expect you wanting to have one of these answers. Thanks for the hint, but I still cannot figure out the context. --Alexandra Kuhn 22:08, 2 September 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)
- ←--#: . The problem is that you assume that you can figure out the context by reading the question. Of course you can't. You have to find the context outside the question, and then you'll understand it. --Jouni 16:24, 3 September 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
----#: . Then how will I know which the context is? What do you mean by "keep"? Have and then do not give it away? I do you mean breed fisch? --Alexandra Kuhn 16:57, 7 September 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)
- ←--#: . When you find the context, you will know that you have found it, and all the detailed questions get an answer. It is impossible to guess, but pretty easy to find if you just start searching for it. --Jouni 23:28, 11 September 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
←--#: . Thanks for this hint! I found the question :) Now it's take a while until I'll find the answer. --Alexandra Kuhn 17:08, 24 September 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
Second question
48.72354, 9.117249, Fagus sylvatica.
Answer
First question
- The oceans. ⇤--#: . The question says "who", which refers to a person. --Jouni 23:10, 30 August 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack) ←--#: . Your are right. --Alexandra Kuhn 22:08, 2 September 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
- Douglas Adams. ;) ⇤--#: . The famous fish quote by Douglas Adams says: "So long, and thanks for all the fish." It is not about keeping fish, but dolphins having eaten them. --Jouni 23:10, 30 August 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack) ←--#: . Yes, you are right. --Alexandra Kuhn 22:08, 2 September 2012 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
The German keeps Fish :)
yellow blue red green white Norwegian Dane Brit German Swede Dunhill Blend Pall Mall Prince Blue Master Water Tea Milk Coffee Beer Cats Horses Birds Fish Dogs
←--#: . Correct! Very good. It is a pity that we cannot run Matlab in Opasnet. --Jouni 00:42, 12 December 2012 (EET) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
Second question
The numbers show the coordinates of the IER in Stuttgart. Fagus sylvatica is a beech. I am just not sure if the tree on the parking lot is a beech. :)
- ←--#: . Well, there is a way to find out. --Jouni 17:02, 7 February 2013 (EET) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)
Rationale
Dependencies
Formula
----#: . I was too lazy to finish this R code. But it works half way through: Einstein quiz. --Jouni 00:42, 12 December 2012 (EET) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)
Matlab code:
File: einstein.m
% We will code the Strings into Integers (Doubles) to be able to use Matlab
% more simply
% There are several atributes of the houses. In brackets are the coding
% numbers.
% House: 1 2 3 4 5
% Colour: red(1), green(2), white(3), yellow(4), blue(5)
% Nationalities: Brit(1), Swede(2), Dane(3), Norwegian(4), German(5)
% Cigar: Pall Mall(1), Dunhill(2), Blend(3), Blue Master(4), Prince(5)
% Drink: Tee(1), Coffee(2), Milk(3), Beer(4), Water(5)
% Pet: Dog(1), Birds(2), Cats(3), Horses(4), Fish(5)
% What we know already about the places of some attributes:
% Colours:
% * green is left of white
% * blue is the second
% Nationality:
% * Norwegian in 1st house
% Drink:
% * Milk in the 3rd House
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% So the idea is to build up some matrices including all possible
% permuations of the colours, the nationalities, the cigars, the drinks and
% the pets. All impossible permuations will not be allowed.
% Secondly, from these matrices all combinations will be testes if they
% fulfil the given conditions. If the combination fulfilling the conditions
% is found, the result is printed and the program is aborted.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Selecting all possible permuatations of the different attributes and
% saving the results in the respective matrices.
permutcol = permuatationscolours;
permutnat = permutationsnationalities;
permutcig = permutationscigars;

% Trying all combinations and testing the conditions. Printing the result.

% 8) The man who keeps horses(4) lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill(2).
