On the Condensing of Table Madness
Somehow, I am more lost trying to find the solution than the flavor text of this.
The original manual can be found here.
This manual assumes the user knows how the module works.
Terms Used In This Manual
Tn and Cn are the table and cell coordinates obtained after n
iterations; likewise Tn-1 and Cn-1 correspond to last iteration’s table and cell coordinates. n
starts at 1 for this instance.
Cells within tables within tables are read as A[B]
where A
is the coordinate corresponding to the outer-most table and B
is the coordinate corresponding to the inner-most table.
WARNING: The tables inside the massive table provided on the next page use letters A–E as rows from top to bottom, and numbers 1–5 as columns from left to right.
Starting Configurations
Starting Table Coordinate (T0):
- Letter: 1st Letter of serial no., kept within A–E by adding/subtracting 5 from A1Z26
- Number: 1st Digit of serial no., kept within 1–5 by adding/subtracting 5
Starting Cell Coordinate (C0): Top-Left display
Iterations (p): Sum of serial no. digits, kept within 3–5 by adding/subtracting 3
Iterating, Pseudocode
- while (n ≤ p)
Tn-1[Cn-1] = X;
X[Cn-1] = Y;
X[Y] = Cn;
Cn[Tn-1] = Tn;
n++;
Tn-1 = ANS;
