Unfolding Paper - Puzzle discussion

#1

Hi, I’m having trouble with Unfolding Paper puzzle.
All of my IDE test cases are green, but I can’t reach 100% in my final submission, as at least one case always fails.
As I understand, final submission test cases should just check hard coded solutions, and it seems that here some new test cases are introduced, not just similar to IDE’s.
I didn’t hard code anything in my solution. It’s certainly not perfect, but it seems I can’t improve it unless I’ll see those new test cases and understand why my algorithm fails there.

Which case are you failing?

#3

Big sheet. In IDE the number of parts doesn’t change from repeated unfoldings, but looks like the same logic doesn’t cover final submission case.

#4

Well while it may be better to add a test case more similar to the valiator, it’s not too difficult to list down some possible paper patterns. I think the challenge is to work out all the possible patterns, not just to satisfy test cases. For example:

######
# #  # 
# # ##
# #  # 
######
#5

Well, my algorithm covers this case. Although the pattern is different from IDE’s, it has the same idea.

#6

Chingmann gave another pattern, which my algorithm processes incorrectly, maybe it will help others too.

 "#..#.#",
 "#..###",
 "#....#",
 "######"]

Well, i’m stuck with the “Many pieces” validators. my Algo passes all the ide test cases.
Any clue that can help me is welcome.

#8

Any help please?

#9

your code timeouts

In this case, N=16

Hi, could you check why my submission fails on Long unfolding and Many pieces? All IDE testcases are green.
