Fourth batch of puzzles released
2011-11-15
Hi folks,
I'm pleased to announce that three new puzzles have been released here on PuzzleNode.
- Chess Validator: Figure out whether a list of chess moves are legal or not.
- Six Degrees of Separation: Analyze connections between people based on who they have conversations with
- Poor Man's FORTH: Implement an interpreter for a simple stack based programming language
While the ideas for these problems are my own, Andrea Singh (@madebydna) and Jia Wu (@sindhri) were responsible for most of the implementation work. Additionally, several students from the Mendicant University alumni network helped test out the puzzles before launch to help make sure they don't have obvious defects. Those are the folks to thank if you end up enjoying these puzzles.
Happy Hacking!
