My story of Guess my Robot

Which sequences did you post?


Which sequences did you try to solve? Which did you succeed in solving and which not? Try to explain why you could solve some and not others?


When solving a sequence, did you manage to train a robot to generate it? If not, why not? If yes, what did training the robot teach you about the sequence?


What interesting responses did you receive to your sequences or comments? Why did you find them interesting?


Think of something special or surprising that happened to you during the game.

The Mathematics of Guess my Robot

Give an example of a sequence you found interesting. Explain what was interesting about it.


Give an example of an "easy" sequence.  What makes it easy?


Give an example of a "hard" sequence. What makes it hard?


When playing guess my robot, did you try to solve the "easy" or the "hard" sequences? Why?


Was the mathematics of the game challenging?  Is that good or bad? Try to convince someone who thinks otherwise.


Does programming in ToonTalk change the kind of mathematics you do? In what way?


What did you learn from interacting with other players?


Did others solve the same sequences as you did, but differently? What did you think when that happened?
