I guess that you accept a sequence iff the sum of the digits in the sequence is greater than or equal to 16.
Correct! You win the game. As a prize, you get +1 karma and it's your turn to be Master if you want another game. You might want to start another post, this one is crowded.
Wow, I was miles off. I thought the rule was something like 'if it is of the form 6 X 5 3...'
Also, time zones could make the mondo stages difficult; cata's guess was at 3:32 AM for me.
Yeah, time zones were an unforseen difficulty. Perhaps for the next game, we could all agree on some time in advance and play in a chatroom.
I'll pass on being master, since I can't really be on frequently and reliably enough to respond to guesses at a good pace. (I also like Normal_Anomaly's suggestion of just organizing a time to play in a chatroom.) If someone else stepped up, I would play again, though. This is a fun game!
My other candidate rule was "if the last digit is divisible by 3," which almost works, except that 6 was not accepted (so it would have to have a special case.)
0 is divisible by 3.
Hmm, looking around, I guess it looks like you're right: Most people treat zero as evenly divisible by anything. I didn't know that before now.
