Hi folks,

I implore you to try your hand (mind) at http://ivraka.com/ which is my revenge on Wordle

Site's not secure.

WTF is it anyway?

Freddio · 29-06-2022 4:54pm

Good evening Jim,

It's a maths puzzle.

It has an SSL cert and doesn't collect any identifiable information about anyone, so I'm not sure how more secure it can be.

Do give it a go....

There's no instructions. All I see is 1. 2. 3. And then three blank boxes.

Freddio · 29-06-2022 5:33pm

Yes - you have to work them out

You'll have to do more than that. Work what out? Why 6 boxes with 3 already filled in? Is it an equation or a number? Is there an indication of what entries are right in wrong box or right in right box or just wrong? Nerdle it certainly isn't.

An example wouldn't kill you.

Freddio · 29-06-2022 5:37pm

Exactly - Its not Wordle or Nerdle - Its Ivraka

Forget it. This is a wind-up.

Freddio · 29-06-2022 5:49pm

It really isn't Jim.

29 People have worked it out with no hints so far and when 100 people work it out, a new one starts.

Sigma101 · 29-06-2022 7:32pm

Make that 30

@gameofivraka #ivraka_1 - correct answer 30

@Freddio You should consider a new puzzle every day. I'll have forgotten about this by the time 100 people solve it

Freddio · 29-06-2022 9:38pm

Thanks @Sigma101,

A few people have suggested that. I was hoping it would ramp up quickly enough that there would be many hundreds in a day and then automatically it would be one new one every day.

I have just posted #2 while I work the logistics out

@gameofivraka #ivraka_2 - correct answer 1

Freddio, I think your sequence is way too short to establish a pattern. There are too many possibilities to solve it. I only got the answer because I found a question on Quora with the same numbers. In that question the clue was 6 numbers long, not 3. The solution relates to patterns across pairs of numbers, but you only give one complete pair so a pattern cant be established.

Freddio · 30-06-2022 11:39am

Ahh Sigma101!

That's cheating, but I think you can see how it is taking shape. Some of the puzzles will be cryptic, some will be logical and some will be numeric. You have 5 attempts per day but it's not like Wordle where it keeps hinting. Once you become familiar with the angles Ivraka is coming from, I hope it will become infectious.

Freddio · 30-06-2022 11:41am

Also I'm not sure if the pattern Quora reports is the one in #ivraka_2 if your solution is predicated on pairs?

Sigma101 · 30-06-2022 7:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119271069#Comment_119271069

You're right, I cheated this time. I was wrong about the pairs bit but now know what the pattern is. I'll have another go tomorrow - hopefully without cheating!

@gameofivraka #ivraka_4 - correct answer 2

I'm finding this very difficult so far. I'm kicking myself that I couldn't figure out yesterday's.

Btw - big improvement giving the solution to the previous day's puzzle.

@gameofivraka #ivraka_6 - correct answer 2

Easy one today

Freddio · 04-07-2022 5:36pm

Thanks Sigma101,

I think it's going to be more interesting to maths hackers than New York Times readers. It will exercise the brain more...

Freddio · 05-07-2022 1:12pm

I'm going to start publishing extra hints on the associated twitter (especially for the harder ones)

@gameofivraka #ivraka_8 - correct answer 1

Straightforward sequence today- got it after a couple of turns. I had no chance with yesterday's - I'd never heard of Pascal's triangle!

@gameofivraka #ivraka_9 - correct answer 2

Badly Drunk Boy · 07-07-2022 8:43am

Top 10 correct answer

Sigma101 · 09-07-2022 8:45am

There was an issue with yesterday's ivraka #10. The sequence was 1, 3, 5. The answer given today for the sequence is "prime numbers". But 1 is not prime, 2 is prime. The start sequence should have been 2, 3, 5 perhaps?

Freddio · 10-07-2022 4:40pm

I will put my hand up on that one. There is some debate as to whether 1 is a prime number as the definition of one is a number divisible only by one and itself. Notwithstanding, two should have been in there but I think I was trying to steer away from another 1,2,3 and got lost in thought.

I see no one is getting today's one so I will clarify that it is continuing on from yesterday's Roman theme.

The hint gave it away

Freddio · 22-07-2022 10:20am

I know - It wasn't really one I could get cryptic with

I can see this daily puzzle is no threat to the NYT Wordle, but I do salute the core following who are doing them every day and mostly solving them...

Freddio · 18-08-2022 10:01pm

Apologies - I let it go for a week, but theres a few week's of new Ivrakas loaded onto the app now.

enjoy...

I wrote a little program to solve today's puzzle - slow day!

Freddio · 02-09-2022 8:23pm

I would be intrigued to see the code

Sigma101 · 03-09-2022 8:15am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119562029#Comment_119562029

It's just a simple couple of lines of code to find prime numbers. I'm not sure putting code up here is allowed. I'll pm it to you.

Freddio · 03-09-2022 4:07pm

Thanks for that Sigma, I had envisaged people incorporating coding a bit with these. I wonder are there AI libraries out there that would just make this puzzle redundant. Maybe the CIA, the Chinese and the Russians would but they wouldn't be bothered here
