...Logic Application: Guess Your Card Jeffrey Self Professor Mune Lokesh Math 104 Algebra With Applications 19 June 2013 In my scenario I am sitting around the kitchen table with three friends and we decide to play the game Guess Your Card. My friends explain to me that in this game each of us in turn will blindly draw three cards from a partial deck of cards. This deck has had all cards above 9 removed, and for this game’s purposes aces are only equal to 1. Without looking at my cards I am to place them facing out on my forehead so the other players can clearly see the cards. Each of the other players is to do the same. The object of the game is to guess which cards you have on your own head using logic to solve the problem. Players draw question cards that reveal information about player cards, and the first to guess their cards based on the information revealed wins the game. My brother Andy has the cards 1, 5, and 7 showing on his forehead. His wife Belle has 5, 4, and 7. My girlfriend Carol has the cards 2, 4, and 6. Andy is selected to draw the first question card, and it asks if he sees two or more players who’s cards sum to the same value. Andy answers affirmatively. With this information I know that I must have cards that equal either 12 or 16. I know this because Belle’s cards sum to 16 and Carol’s cards sum to 12. Since Andy sees two of us with cars of the same value I am able to confirm that my sum must match either Belle’s or Carol’s. At this point none of us...

...The Guess Your Card Game In the Guess Your Card game each player draws three cards without looking at them. Each card has a number on it between one and nine. Then all of us place our cards on our heads so that we can only see our opponent’s cards but not the three cards we pulled. Our objective is to guess what cards we have ourselves. The first person to do this wins the game. Throughout game play, each player draws a question at random from a stack of questions. Then each player answers their particular questions based on the cards that they see from their opponents. As previously stated each card has a number on it between one and nine. Andy’s cards are one, five and seven. Belle’s cards are five, four and seven. Carol has two, four, and six. We are solving for my cards which can be any number between one and nine. The strategies used for solving the problem are inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning (process of elimination.) As questions are answered we are able to remove numbers from the one through nine answer set. When Andy pulls the question card, “Do you see two (2) or more players whose cards sum to the same value? We can ignore his three cards (1, 5, and 7) because we know he could not see them, thus his sum of thirteen would not be one of the sums with the same value. Being able to see Belle’s cards (5, 4, and 7= 16) and Carol’s cards (2, 4, 6 = 12), I was able to conclude that my cars should equal twelve or sixteen. This is inductive reasoning. (a +...

...playing a card game called Guess Your Card with three other players, Andy, Carol and Belle. The concept of this game is draw three cards out of a pile of cards where each card has a number between 1 and 9. You, along with the other players, must place these cards on your head without looking at them. Everyone but you should be able to see your cards. There is also another set of question cards that each player must draw from. Players can begin to predict which cards they possess by listening to other players answer questions from this deck. The player who draws a question card must answer the question on each card they draw. They answer these questions based on the other players cards, not their own. The object of the game is to guess what cards you have before anyone else does. I can figure out what cards I have by listening to each question and answer and directly relating them to my own cards. Through the process of elimination, and simple math I can determine which cards I hold. My cards are 4, 5, & 9. I determined the answer to this question by analyzing the following questions and answers. The first question drawn by the player, Andy, was, “Do you see two or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” The player answered “yes”. Looking at the other two players cards I determined: Sum of Belle’s cards = 3 + 4 + 7 = 14 Sum of Carol’s cards= 4 + 6 + 8 = 18 Since these have different sums, but Andy sees at least two players whose cards have the same sum, then my cards must...

... After evaluating the game of “Guess your Card”, I assume that my cards could only be 4, 5, and 9. I came up with this logic by starting with Andy. I add all three numbers together from each player. Andy has the cards of 1, 3, and 7 with a sum of 11. Belle has the cards 3, 4, and 7 with a sum of 14, and Carol has the cards 4, 6 and 8 with a sum of 18. Since each player have a different sum I took the players with the highest sum which is Belle and Carol to see which player cards would add up with my cards. Next, Belle draw the question card, “of the five odd numbers”, how many different odd numbers do you see? She answer all of them. Only because the only odd numbers she see is from Andy and Carol which are 1, 3, and 7. That's how I came up with the numbers of 5 and 9. I then, add together 5 and 9 which is 14, let's not forget in the beginning I said the sums must add up to either 14 or 18. Since 5+9=14, and the smallest card is 1 so my cards must add up to more than 14. The sum of my cards must be 18. In order for me to find out what is my final card I must subtract 18 from 9 and 5 which gives me 4. You can also see why Andy knew what cards he had. He realize that the only odd numbers Belle could see from Carol and myself were 5 and 9, but yet she claim she could see all five odd numbers. So the remaining three: 1, 3 and 7 must have come from Andy himself. That's how he figure out what he had. The logic of “Guess your Card” is “Process of Elimination” with more...

...Algebra with Applications May 31, 2012 I am playing “Guess Your Cards” with Andy, Belle, and Carol. Andy has drawn a 1, 3 & 7, Belle a 3, 4 & 7, and Carol a 4, 6 & 8. No one can see their own cards. Question cards are drawn and asked to help each player deduce what their own cards are. I believe deductive reasoning would be the logic used to solve this problem; you have the facts in front of you. The deck has only cards with the numbers 1 through 9 on them, you can see the cards already drawn and deduct, by the answers to the questions, exactly what cards you have. Let’s start with the first question. “Do you see two or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” Andy answers “yes”. Of the cards I can see, no two people have the same sum. I deduce that I must have the second set. Adding the cards of each person, I can see that Andy’s cards equal 11, Belle’s equal 14, and Carol’s equal 18. My set of cards must equal one of these. Second, “Of the five odd numbers, how many different odd numbers do you see?” Belle answers that she sees all of them. I can only see 1, 3, & 7. Therefore, I must have a 5 and a 9. These are the only two odd numbers that I cannot see. The statement that states that Andy knows what cards he has is totally irrelevant to the problem. It has absolutely no bearing on my logic or what cards I have. Knowing I have a 5 and a 9, I only have to figure out what my last card is. My 5 and 9 add up to 14, therefore, my sum cannot...

...Guess Your Card Steven Colson Prof. Latriece Tanksley MAT-104 August 6, 2013 The name of this guessing game is Guess Your Card. The purpose of this project is to employ various logical methods to figure out which cards each player possesses. The game is completed and won by the first player to correctly state what card he or she has. In this particular game setup there are 4 players, Andy, Belle, Carol and Myself. Each player picks 3 cards without looking at them, cards ranging from 1 thru 9. Andy has the cards 1, 5, and 7. Belle has the cards 5, 4, and 7. Carol has the cards 2, 4, and 6. As of right know I do not know what numbers I have in my possession. Andy draws the question card, “Do you see two (2) or more players whose cards sum to the same value?” He answers, “Yes.” Next Belle draws the question card, “Of the five (5) odd numbers, how many different odd numbers do you see?” She answers, “All of them.” Andy suddenly speaks up. "I know what I have," he says. "I have a 1, a 5, and a 7." To figure out what numbers I have in my possession, I will use the process of elimination. I know the numbers of the other players, and information given by the other players I can solve the answer of what are my card numbers. To first solve this problem, I remember that Andy said that he saw two (2) or more players whose cards sum to the same value. So knowing this I know that 2 of the players’ numbers will add up to the same sum. So I add both Belle and Carol card numbers individually...

...on how to solve the problem, and finally tell you the answer to how Andy figured out what his cards were. By the end of this paper you will see how this illogical problem actually is a very logical problem. The most important information that is given to you in an indirect way is that you have to find the missing information to make the illogical problem become logical. You are told that you plus three other people have cards with numbers anywhere between one and nine. You are given the numbers to Andy, Belle, and Carol. They also tell you that Andy sees two people that have cards that have the same sum, and that Belle sees all of the odd numbers between one and nine. Now that we know the information that we found out that the problem makes no sense our strategy is to use logic and deductive reasoning. In order to do that you have to find out what your three cards are. Once you know that then the answers to the two questions will make since, and from there you will be able to figure out how Andy was able to guess what his cards are. So figure out what your cards are and everything else falls into place. The steps to solving this problem are quite simple you just have to remember your strategy and go based off of that. First step is to write out the info given to you that is important to solving the problem. You and three other people have three cards each, the numbers on the cards are between one and nine.
