Have had a quick gander, but the volume of websites, locations etc is overwhelming. Who knew so many people had holiday homes to rent?!
Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm based in London, but happy to drive 3 or 4 hours if need be.
Going through various websites is a nightmare for this. I've found the best way is to find a location you're keen on, then open Google maps and search for accommodation nearby. You can find some hidden gems this way.
I don't understand this bit. Wouldn't that 4th quarter then be split into either two or four again? How do you get from that to thirds? Or can you just loop it round kinda indefinitely so that that quarter goes into 16ths (one 16th onto each of the first three quarters, and then the final sixteenth around again into 1/64ths, etc. etc.)?Using this process we can also divide into thirds if we need, by splitting the items in half, then half again, leaving 4 belts of equal quantity, and then feeding the 4th belt back into the start when there was just one belt.

I think the question otherwise becomes "can you make 15/115 as a sum of inverse powers of two", to which I think the answer is no. But maybe with cunning looping it is possible...Using this process we can also divide into thirds if we need, by splitting the items in half, then half again, leaving 4 belts of equal quantity, and then feeding the 4th belt back into the start when there was just one belt.

DrewMerson wrote:Okay, but if the game can’t split units, then splitting an odd number must put different numbers on each belt. No theoretical .5 units anywhere. In which case, follow my guide above.
DrewMerson wrote:Again, have you tested that?And even if we did know which lane had 57 and which lane had 58, the next time we feed through a further 115 units it would change.

That gives a 3:20 ratio out the bottom, which is the key thing, AIUI.
