enigma

Here I am, therefore, to reveal the solution to the previous post.

But first a word about the solutions proposed by Evaluna and mynameis ... Meanwhile, in both THANKS for trying!

That's Evaluna , I do not feel like it, seems very "Italian" (meaning smart)! :-D

It ignores, however, that the prison itself may not be in Italy, which is why the maintenance of prisons would be far more diligent than here and predict that the walls are cleaned or even reimbiancate more often.

solution mynameis but I was struck by its simplicity, as William of Ockham would argue, is usually a good assessment of efficacy. However, despite its logical extreme, I think it also would remove any attraction to our little play and then I would exclude it by attributing it more to a lack of the translator who did not specify that the convicted would have to re-enter (and not just enter ) and all 100 in the room.

Finally I give you my version, however I found that even if worded a bit 'different even looking at the internet, along with other much more effective, but waaay more convoluted and difficult to explain without a lot 'of mathematics.

The 100 prisoners decide to elect among themselves a King (any one of them) and to appoint the other 99 as subjects. While they are all still in the room to decide, the lamp will be turned off and will remain so until the next visit. From that day forward, each of the subjects have a duty to present a tribute to their King and will do it once and only once in his life by turning on the light bulb when it is brought into the room. If the subject entered the room he found the light bulb turned on already, he must leave everything as is and keep its honor for a subsequent visit. The king, however, whenever enters the room and find the light bulb will be tasked to collect his tribute, extinguishing the same before leaving, and of course he must update their mental count of a unit or a new subject which has been honored. If you find the bulb off, the King simply leave everything as it is without adding anything to its accounts. In practice, when the King had withdrawn all 99 gifts from his subjects, he will be sure that everyone else besides himself were at one time in the room. According to the mathematics and statistics, this should be done after an average of 29 years , but it may be that if fortune helps the crop may be faster ...

Today I want to close with a poem ... The dedication is unnecessary.


Love by Robert Creeley


There are no words sensual
as meat
in his mood,
in his heat.

tangible repeat
certainties,
the convenience
human beings.

not pronounce
makes abstract
all the passion
and ultimately his death.
