I'm working on a map and it will be using randomized switches. I need to know how to figure out all the combinations of outcomes these switches will have. I think I need either three or four switches. What I would like is for someone to list the combinations please. :bleh:

Three Switch Randomized Combinations

1-----2-----3
S-----S-----S--1
------------C--2
------C----S--3
------------C--4
C-----C----C--5
------------S--6
------S-----C--7
------------S--8

S=Set
C=Cleared (Not Set(Text Triggers))

Each switch can either be set or cleared. (excluding randomized, toggle ) So for each switch their are 2 outcomes. All you need to do is multiply the current outcomes by two to find out how many possible outcomes their are.

EX: 1 switch = 2
2 switches = 4
3 switches = 8
4 switches = 16
So on and so forth.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

3 switches, 8 Combinations:
000
001
010
011
100
101
110
111
0 = cleared, 1 = set
You can easily expand it to 4 switches by copying the 8 combinations above and add a 0's to one copy and add 1's to the other copy (=16 combinations)

But let me say this: YOU ARE LAZY!

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

Number of combinations is 2^n, where n is the number of randomizations. Brontobyte's 2nd method is best (not the smallest, but we're talking like 3 more triggers).

Of course, the best way is to learn how binary works, and do it yourself.

It's really not too difficult though, especially with three switches, maybe if you have like 7 or 8...

This is all pretty much what I stated in my above post... :-_-:

Zoan -- of course it isn't full understanding. You could ask "is the mechanism by which this counterexample blows up the ONLY mechanism possible for an initial configuration to blow up?"

Zoan -- ppl do it all the time in PDEs

Zoan -- Heinermann

Heinermann shouted: it also didn't solve that problem but hey as long as the investors are pleased

Constructing a counterexample is answering the question: "Is Navier Stokes well posed?" in the negative

NudeRaider -- I only heard about it, didn't any news article, so what did it do then?

Heinermann -- it also didn't solve that problem but hey as long as the investors are pleased

NudeRaider -- I have no idea tbh. All I know no human was ever able to solve it, but there's at least a few that beat portal

Zoan -- Navier Stokes is not that esoteric I thought
