If I could write software for the G.U.T. it would be this...........

Forget about graphs.  They are pretty to watch, but so is Sarah Palin.

[table=,]
0,1,2,3,
#,#,#,#
#,#,#,#
[/table]


Let's call them the 0 column, 1 column, 2 column and 3 column.  Short 0c, 1c, 2c, 3c.

We have droidman's basic Track2 to start with.  Now the additional feature to this program would be this:

The program asks, "Is 0c = to or just one greater than 1c? Than 1c + 2c? Than 1c + 2c + 3c.  If the answer is "yes", highlight 0c in yellow.

The program asks, "Is 1c = to or just one greater than 2c? Than 2c + 3c?  If the answer is "yes", highlight 1c in yellow.

The program asks, "Is 2c = to or just one greater than 3c?  If the answer is "yes", highlight 2c in yellow.

Using the same scheme you could carry this through 4, 5 or 6, but for me the crossing 2 v 3 is enough.  By then it's time to jump back.

I may have missed something, but this is what I am doing mentally as I look at Track2.  I look at 0c and scan right for additions of = to or one less.  Then I move on to the 1c and so on.

winkel?  Ideas?

Sam,

What I'm hearing is this:

IF 0c is equal or greater than (by 1 only) 1c AND 2c AND 3c THEN Highlight 0c? 

If so this would be quite easy in excel, as it's a simply IF formula coupled with a couple AND formulas.  I can do something up, but you'll need to explain a few details.

Lemme know,

Looking at only 0c....

The program ask must ask three specific questions:

1.  Is 0c = to or just one greater than 1c?   17=17; 17>16

2.  Is 0c = to or just one greater than 1c + 2c?  17=(16+1); 17=(15+1)

3.  Is 0c = to or just one greater than 1c + 2c + 3c.  17=(15+1+1); 17=(14+1+1)

(In the above example, the number 17 is always 0c.)

If the answer is "yes", to any question then highlight 0c in yellow.

If you have not studied droidman's Track2 this probably makes no sense to you.  I think his program written in DOS, believe it or not.  I am sure you could do the same thing in Excel.

I would be happy to screen shot several examples of his Track2 or make a little movie.  Wait!  I have one!

Just tell me what to do..

Alright Sam,

So...

IF (0c = 1c OR 0c > 1c by 1) then "Yes"
OR
IF (0c = 2c OR 0c > 2c+1c by 1) then "Yes"
OR
IF (0c = 3c OR 0c > 3c+2c+1c by 1) then "Yes"

So if....

0c = 17
1c=16 or 17 - then "Yes"

Or if...

0c = 17
1c=15
2c=2 - then "Yes" (17=15+2)....  this is were I'm getting a little confused.  But I think I've got it.

Or if...

0c = 17
3c=17
1c=1 - then "No"

I'll have a look at the software while I wait for your response.

You're sheet is somewhat wrong, but I'm not used to the language.  I'll look at it and get back to you.

Sam

[MattyMattz]

Thanks for the examples - makes perfect sense. 
Should be easy enough to do up a excel sheet for this, were you just enter the numbers.  I'll tackle this tomorrow as I have a function to attend tonight.

Can you tell me which crossings you want alerted too?
0 vs 1
0 vs >1
1 vs 2
etc...

Cheers,
Matt

I will sit down and review your sheet and try to put it in language like you used.

Are you aware of the "jump back" feature in this program?  It jumps back to spin 20 and shows spin 20 as having just been entered and then you start entering numbers from there.  Also, there is a last number removal feature so if you make a mistake you can erase it.

Laters.......

These are the crossing I, personally, want.  Others may differ in opinions.

0 vs 1
1 vs >1  (>1 is the same as saying 2 +3 to me.)
1 vs Exactly 1
2 vs >2  (>2 is the same as saying 3 + 4 and so on)
2 vs Exactly 2

I didn't know we were going to get into the "greater thans".  If that's the case, you might want to look at Track3 as he put them in there.

IF (0c = 1c OR 0c > 1c by 1) then "Yes"  .........correct
OR
IF (0c = 2c OR 0c > 2c+1c by 1) then "Yes"-----wrong.  IF (0c > 2c +1c by 1) then "Yes".  I don't care about 0c jumping to 2c as it leaves out 1c.
OR
IF (0c = 3c OR 0c > 3c+2c+1c by 1) then "Yes"--wrong.  IF 0c > 3c+2c+1c by 1) then "Yes"

So if....

0c = 17
1c=16 or 17 - then "Yes"------correct

Or if...

0c = 17
1c=15
2c=2 - then "Yes" (17=15+2)....  this is were I'm getting a little confused.  But I think I've got it.----correct

Or if...

0c = 17
3c=17
1c=1 - then "No"------correct


Let's try it with ABCD  where A is 0, B is 1, C is 2 and D is 3.

A (=to or >b by 1 OR = to or > by 1 the sum of B,C, and D.                  B                       

B  (=to or >c by 1 OR = to or > by 1 the sum of C and D                      C

C (=to or >d by 1)   D

When you are looking at the columns, the one on the left must always be equal to or one greater than the one on it's immediate right OR the sum of all on it's immediate right.  Like water running downhill, so to speak.

Matt, you sure you want to get into this mess?

I just read KFS's results of the gazillion spin test and I suppose this software is now unnecessary.

I'm quite discouraged, but not angry with KFS or winkel.

Sam

[MattyMattz]

well, keep me posted Sam, it actually shouldn't be too hard.
