Oct 7, 2014 at 19:03 comment added Martin Ender A good way to specify "optimal strategy" (short of presenting the algorithm) would be to write a reference implementation of the strategy Rainbolt outlined, running it a few thousand times to measure how often it wins and stating that submissions should achieve that same ratio.

Oct 7, 2014 at 18:50 comment added Martin Ender Now that it's code golf you do need to mention that solutions must implement the optimal strategy. You also might want to write a little controller to probabilistically verify correctness of the submissions.

Oct 7, 2014 at 18:31 comment added Beta Decay @Rainbolt Good point, there isn't a difference.
Oct 7, 2014 at 18:26 comment added Rainbolt What is the difference between newGame, loseGame, and winGame? Are we supposed to keep track of our losses and wins?

Oct 7, 2014 at 17:11 comment added Rainbolt Should this be code golf? The way it's scored now, everyone will tie because the optimal solution is pretty easy. If the flipped card is higher than half of the remaining cards, guess low. Otherwise, guess high.
