Mischek:
how much more? ))

this will immediately simplify the decision =)

20 metres more.

If you're too lazy to think, watch the spoiler =)

 
So can we assume that the occupier knows all the moves of the megamosk beforehand?

It makes no difference, but it's easier to assume that he knows, although if he did, he wouldn't have gone to the basement.

Finally, this is the problem where mm defeats the invader.)

 
I'm trying to figure out under what very general condition the occupant will not keep up with the megamosk. I get the impression that from a certain point onwards the megamosk's strategy becomes probabilistic. But this is only an impression.

It seems to me (glitchy?) that the reverse formulation is more practical: "Under what condition will the MM not keep up with the occupier?"

Yes, we can assume that the occupier has a superdevice that reads all of MM's thoughts.
 
ilunga:
Yeah, you'd think the occupant would have a superdevice that reads all of MM's thoughts.

Then why would he even go to the basement?

Knowing he's doomed.

A masochist, then.)

Apparently, he doesn't stand a chance on the surface. His only hope is the basement.
 

The occupant must be taught to move further and further away - or can we still guarantee that he is only 10+ epsilon metres away from the room (if we are in it)?

The assumption of a mind-reading superdevice is a loophole for such training.

He didn't have a super device on the surface, but he found one in the basement. But here's the thing: he discovered that the megamosk is not as dumb as he thought it was.

He didn't have the superdevice on the surface, but he found it in the basement. But here's the kicker: he found out the megamosk isn't as dumb as he thought it was.

Okay, good. If he didn't give up right away after getting the device in the basement, he's counting on something.

Knowing the MM algorithm, hoping to sit at the end of the last corridor is foolish. We can't expect him to get tired of walking and go to sleep either, the corridors are short.

So he knows something's going to happen to mm in the very near future.
