So you wanna play games, huh?

This game is rated Adult and not for kids, you’ve been warned.

After eating a curly bunch double plated Italian-cooked spagetti poured along with hot-steamed spicy beef and peppered with sliced-n-chopped fresh carrots, I still have 3 times 10 minutes left before this lunch break ends.

And so, I continue my time inside the office thinking on how can I spend the remaining 30 minutes lunch break time without re-doing my break time activities that I had last week.

After thinkering for a while, I come up with an idea of getting back with an old analytical ($ucks) flash game that somehow blasts my little brown mathematical sticky brain cells, at least at my age now, and see if I could still solve a simple puzzle game.

Pearly Flash Game

If the image is so familiar to you, hit Alt + Left Arrow to ignore, or scroll down for more. The game rule is very simple as you can see with the below screen shot.

Game Rule and HowTo

You have 12 pearls grouped in 3 rows. Each player turns allows you to pick up pearls to as much as you could carry but only from a single row of pearls. The last player who picks up the last remaining pearl loses the game. So, the objective of the game is to let your opponent picks up the last pearl. As you can see it is very elementary and simple. You can give it a try, and see from yourself how much turns you can afford to spend on beating down the old magician circus guy, :) .

Download and Game Play

I failed on inserting the said SWF game file from TBP, but you can start playing the game from here though.

Game Approach

Based from my today’s research, the game can be solved by mathematical backward induction. Who? Duh? Bull’s eye on X to close the page….

And after solving it, the young nice geek lady gave me the exact logical formula and approach, which is funny that I am not even aware of. Oh well, I think its luck.

Goodluck to you too and hope to hear your turns spent down below the comments. What are you waiting for, come and enjoy this addicting flash game!

Written by VeRTiTo · VeRTiTO likes Beer and Linux very much. The three of them dwell along like a good marriage relationship components. When Linux does some shortcomings, Beer spice him up and relax him down a little, when Beer relaxes him down too much, Linux inspires and hacks him up so he goes back on his feet. When the other one is missing, it's alienating and boring. When you combine the three of them, now that is a human thing. Are you? Oh, ilovetux.com is only one of his newest craziness.
