Gap was too big, Smant surely would've found a solution that wasn't cheesy. The cheese solution doesn't even seem that viable, I've got a feeling Smant took the RNG route just to fuck around with an overlooked mechanic. It's the kind of thing he does all the time.

[@tatri292]

@@ThePurplePeppy While I do agree with op's sentiment, yeah... Smant finished with his rng fishing method over an hour earlier, when rng fishes notoriously can be very slow compared to the intended solution. While getting detect/protect 5 times in a row isn't like astronomical odds, as long as the game speed can't be sped up you'll be there for a while. Doubly so in a double battle.

5:55 Regarding Sokoban, it's not just NP-Hard, which is a general term for problems harder than NP, but also PSPACE-Complete! This is a class beyond the standard NP-Complete problems one sees, it's really a difficulty of its own that goes beyond what we currently think are hard problems, even if we were to figure out P = NP, Sokoban may still be too hard!

[@queenthinng4822]

I found my own unintended way through the Sandslash puzzle: I used fake out on the keckleon, then skill swapped protean onto Cres. After that, Sandslash used iron head on kekleon, Cres used aurora beam on slash to become an ice type, and kekleon disabled iron head. Next turn kek and cres chipped the slash, and kek died. After that, froslass destiny bonded the lax and Cress 1v1’d the slash. I figured the idea was giving Cress ice typing so the hail gave it more defense, luring the lax away from it.

I'm not even sure I remembered periods lol

[@Alexc99xd]

6:00 as an FYI, an NP-Hard problem doesn't mean the problem is "hard" (which is subjective anyways) in the sense you may think of it. It's just that there is no "fast" algorithm, non-polynomial time (aka it's exponential). basically NP-hard problems have to do brute force, taking a LONG time. Exponential grows way way faster than any polynomial time. One of the coolest thing you'll learn with an NP-hard problem is that you can change ANY NP-hard problem to another NP-hard problem, like traveling salesman, by adding in small-changes that are just linear/ploynomial complexity. Which means if one person solves ANY NP-hard problem in polynomial time, then all NP-hard problems are polynomial time (like encryption!). Thus P = NP That is why there is a $1 million prize if anyone solves that (in in the general case, either Prove P = NP or P !=NP. There have been no proofs yet (it's a proof if you solve an NP-hard problem with P time), and everyone basically agrees P != NP but just needs to prove that.

[@ShieldedLoL]

I love watching these type of challenges and seeing the smartest pokemon players come up with weird strategies is really cool to see. I'm looking forward to the next. Hopefully more crazy and old traditional puzzles are included like the old Japanese one.

I'm always happy when somebody knows what NP-hard is. They also likely won't use "grows exponentially" when they mean linearly or quadratically (or any polynomial growth).
