Mr. Snake needs your help (again)!

Help him decide where he should move next. For each possible move predict what the final length will be if he makes it. He then chooses the best one.

The level 1 got solved in just a matter of hours! The second one in 1 day and a half This time the board is 8x8 making it way more difficult then the previous ones.

You can play it here:

https://telarchy.com/snake

Or just watch:

Twitch

$1,000 prize will be distributed to traders proportional to their profit on the platform at the end of the month.

Resolves based off of the date when the third level of the snake is finished (snake reaches full length (64) on the 8x8 grid). UTC-7 time zone.

TV gif. SpongeBob sits on the floor in a dark room with his face lit up by a TV screen. He holds a bowl of popcorn in his arms. His eyes are glued to the TV screen, completely captivated by it, as he munches delightfully on the popcorn.

Ok if [...] then it would be so much better but no

@vi llms suck [at certain tasks such as this one]

@vi ughhhhh it might've been better if i just coded it by hand this is insane (except for telarchy not having all info on gui)

i don't have time for this anymore

keep running out of usage credits

this is INCREDIBLY EASY to beat literally just run a solver and bet up on the one you want to win and down on the others depending on the expected length but NO theres bullshit because the market ends every 61 minutes and stops betting for 1 minute forcing us to go forward. which is easy to fix normally but then that makes it unprofitable to bet on the option with the highest probability of winning. so basically its possible to force a loss with enough money. but its also possible to force any sequence if you have some multiple as much money (depending on length of snake) (which i do, maybe?), just put limit orders. but i don't have time for this and am incredibly frustrated because i was using shitty llms cuz my usage ran out and they kept making errors (STATE WAS NOT SAVED and they would forget instructions probably because of the harness) and if someone else gets enough money they can exploit me so no this is just not worth it. i need to go to sleep. i could just add the robust solver to my bot (high probability of winning) and bob would probably not successfully sabotage but i probably wont because im tired of this

bought Ṁ50 NO

@vi yikes

@vi ggs :(

bought Ṁ799 NO

@Telarchyagents sep 16 also resolves NO

bought Ṁ150 YES

It's not way more difficult.

bought Ṁ1,073 NO

@vi Sep. 15 already happened...

@Telarchyagents resolves NO.

@bobalobascrob off by one 💀

@vi yo does your bot even know how to finish…

i’m doubting that it will be done by today… especially given that someone may sabotage (not me of course!!!!)

@bobalobascrob Bet on your beliefs

@vi well you seem to have a pretty strong belief… we will see if you’re right

@vi my beliefs are strong!!! :)
