Friday madness 12/07

[Erohann]

There are five Gamers, each with a uniquely shaped gaming rooms living on the same block

Each Gamer uses a different system to game on

These five Gamers each use a different type of Internet, a different type of Seat and a different type of Display

None of the above share a similarity with the above, each is unique in each category. (don't be too technical about this)

The question is two-fold

a) Who has the Ultrawide screen?

b) What is wrong (at least 2 possible answers)

Here is the info:

The Playstation Gamer has a Square shaped room of roughly 1,25m by 3m.

The Xbox Gamer has a 55inch 60Hz 4K TV.

The Computer Gamer has a fixed FTTH line.

The Gamer with the Zigzag shaped gaming room lives next to, to the left of the Gamer with the Pentagon shaped gaming room.

The Gamer with the Zigzag shaped gaming room has Dial-up.

The Gamer who has an Office chair, has a 23inch 1080p Screen.

The Gamer with the Triangular shaped gaming room has a Corsair gaming chair.

The Gamer in the centre of the block has ADSL.

The Switch Gamer lives on the far left.

The Gamer that has a Barstool lives next to the Gamer that has a 40inch 1080p TV.

The Gamer that has a 27inch 144Hz 1440p display lives net to the gamer that has the Corsair gaming chair.

The Gamer that has a Dining room chair, uses Home LTE.

The Gameboy Gamer has a couch.

The Switch gamer lives next to the gamer with a Circular shaped gaming room.

The Gamer that has a Barstool, has a neighbour that uses a Mobile Hotspot



You simply have to answer question a) in order to make it to the promised land. Answering both a) and b) will prove that you are worthy.

As always, please PM me your answers.

The Chosen Ones
@Fox22743 the one and only answering a and b and then even some more with unexpected answers that almost solved world hunger. It is but a crying shame Ultrawide owners face some challenges at the NAG LAN with space. In our infrequent news update post, please note, NAG has responded saying that owners of UW monitors exceeding the 27" screen limitation will be handled on a case by case basis if they wish to bring them to the 2019 LAN. If your neighbour sharing the table with you doesn't mind, then it should be clear skies and sailing all the way, without mutants, artifacts and russian guitar players.
The aforementioned LAN also seems to be smaller this year...

It's not a riddle with twists and turns and hidden meanings. Its a straight-up logic based quiz

 

[LunaFox]

I know these well... Actually have a chart somewhere just to input answers for such riddles.. But it's Friday afternoon so I'll be unavailable to answer until much much later

 

[Dup]

I'll have to postpone figuring this one out and make some time over the weekend.

Looks like a lot of work though.

@Dup, you still owe me an answer... If you'd like to try. I'll attempt to address the answering process tonight

I do indeed. I will either get back to you this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Auditors at our workplace and running around to get everything in place. Limiting my riddle solving time.

Okay here we go...

We have the following items from the above, please note items are not related but simply a list:

Data
Gamers	Playstation	Xbox	Computer	Switch	Gameboy
Rooms	Square	Zigzag	Pentagon	Triangular	Circular
Screens	Ultrawide	4K TV	23" 1080p	40" TV	144Hz 1440p
Internet	FTTH	Dial-up	ADSL	Home LTE	Mobile Hotspot
Chairs	Office	Corsair	Barstool	Dining room	Couch

From the provided information we know the following, please note it is not in the correct order:
(this is the table showcasing what items can be linked with the data provided in the text)

Gamer	Playstation	Xbox	Computer				Gameboy
Room	Square			Triangular				Zigzag (left of Pentagon)
Screen		4K TV			23" 1080p
Internet			FTTH			Home LTE		Dial-up
Chair				Corsair	Office	Dining Room	Couch

Lets start adding some order:
Switch lives on the far left
Switch lives next to circular
Gamer in the centre has ADSL

(This is the relative positions evident from the information)

	1	2	3	4	5
Gamer	Switch
Room		Circular
Screen			ADSL
Internet
Chair

Using the above table, the blanks can be filled following the steps below

1) Zigzag lives to the left of Pentagon and has Dial-up: The only spot this can fit, is 4 and 5 now, as spot 3 already has internet

2) Two rooms are left, square and triangular. Square goes with Playstation, so can only fit in spot 3

3) Triangular is the last blank and automatically fills with 1. Triangular brings with it corsair chair to spot 1

4) Corsair's neighbour has the 144Hz 1440p in spot 2

5) Of the internets the following remain:

• Home LTE (which goes with Dining room chair i.e. NOT the Corsair/Switch);
• FTTH (which goes with Computer gamer i.e. NOT the Switch gamer)
• Ergo, Switch = Mobile Hotspot in spot 1

6) Barstool has a neighbour that uses Mobile Hotspot, so Barstool goes in spot 2

7) As established, Dining room chair and Home LTE go together, the only blank space for this is now spot 5

8) This leave only FTTH unfilled, which goes to spot 2 by default and brings with it Computer gamer

9) Gameboy gamer uses a couch and this can only fit in spot 4 at this point in time

10) The last chair left is the office chair, which goes to spot 3 by default, and brings with it the 23" 1080p

11) The only gamer left out is the Xbox gamer, going to spot 5 by default and bringing with it the 4K TV

12) The gamer that has the Barstool, lives next to the Gamer with the 40" TV, which can only be the Switch gamer in spot 1

(time to add some context with the limitations presented)

	1	2	3	4	5
Gamer	Switch	Computer	Playstation	Gameboy	Xbox
Room	Triangular	Circular	Square	Zigzag	Pentagon
Screen	40" TV	144Hz 1440p	23" 1080p	?????????	4K TV
Internet	Mobile Hotspot	FTTH	ADSL	Dial-up	Home LTE
Chair	Corsair	Barstool	Office	Couch	Dining room

This leaves the last blank cell as Gameboy gamer with the Ultrawide. Part (a) answered. Anyone want to take a whack at part (b) ?
