Oooo. Well that was fun. Was there any luck manipulation involved with getting the shortest puzzles / puzzles with the letters closest to each other?

Yes, about 98% of the rerecords were luck manipulation.

A nice technical achievement, but zero entertainment value, unfortunately.

Probably why it was put here instead of on the workbench.

Here's a suggestion that might create some entertainment (though I'm not promising anything):
  • Play against two other CPU opponents
  • Luck-manipulate the largest puzzles
  • Luck-manipulate all CPU spins into "bankrupt" or "lose a turn"
  • Luck-manipulate your spins as high as possible to aim for largest ending monetary score.
That might actually turn into a publication-worthy movie! ...maybe.

That's a good idea. I never thought of that type of movie. I'll look into it. --- Edit: Almost everything can be manipulated very effectively. You can even let 3 CPUs (with no human player) play and just hit buttons to manipulate their game indirectly. You could be the director and make any kind of movie, but I'm afraid that it would be boring no matter how it is manipulated. Meh.
