The 100 Doors Problem

Source: https://unsplash.com/

Imagine you stand in front of a mirror, and for a funny reason the universe decides to respond with a pixelated version of yourself, rendered in a reduced 8-bit color palette of the Commodore 64. Then you should either talk to your friends and ask, what they put into your drink, or you are Michael Doornbos.

You might know Michael from his twitter account already. If not, he is one of the constants in 8-bit space and we can always count on him, when it comes to really meaty stuff. πŸ₯©

When Michael does not break things (πŸ‘ˆ his own claim) or pilots an airplane, he does cool things with Commodore hardware. This time he solves the 100 Doors Problem on a whole bunch of machines. Just, for, fun … I mean, why not πŸ‘Ή.

His latest article is a worthy addendum to his blog and I am sure, you will enjoy all other articles of him as well. But the 100 doors is an interesting and counterintuitive one, give it a read!
