Geesh, I'm making so many games right now :P

Rules are simple. At the start of a game, a target number is given. Players must input numbers into the machine (you can post what you want to input). Once you post, you cannot post again until I've updated or at least one other user has posted. When I update, I will tell you the numbers which come out of the machine. All numbers inserted follow a certain procedure, which you need to figure out, and then input the correct number so the output is the target.

It's hard to explain, so here's an example of a game:

Target: 35

20 > 41
15 > 31
18 > 37
17 > 35
The player who inputted 17 wins. The formula in the example was 2N + 1. :)

If you win 2 rounds, you can start a new round yourself.

1

1 > 7
? > 42

10

1 > 7
10 > 106
? > 42

I was thinking linear. Ultimately it'll converge to something. But it may take an infinitely long time.

Within the first two, we were thinking 11x-4. But now I think it's x^2+6.
I don't know what he was thinking with the second one.

Did you really think I'd make the answer 4.181818?

New rule: if a player wins 2 rounds, they can start a new one.

The target number is 35.

I'm telling you: Extracting linear pathways will always converge to something. (It just takes a while. )

of course not but that just seemed logical.

argh 60 sec rule!!!!!!!!!!!

? > 35Oh you

Why don't you join the MFG like this? It's in RPGs. But you get limited turns on the classic mode, so linear pathways will be tough.

Correct. It was 1.75 n.

You get to make a round, choose a target number.

@benjamin2

Target number: 0. This one's a little more indirect.

1 > 1

Uh... 0?

Actually, that's right, but probably not the pattern I used.

1 > 1
0 > 0
infinity (10^10...) > infinity
infinity^10 > infinity
I'll use the same formula, except with a different multiplier.
Target number: 34

There's probably more than one answer but I'm not sure.

Try to say it out loud, I dare you.

EDIT: Wait. What was right: 0 or infinity?

How to pronounce '^'?
