Solutions to wild four digit quaternaries

PDF (Aaron Siegel).

Aaron has also found a solution for the wild octal game 0.144 (its misere indistinguishability quotient semigroup has order 30 and a pretending function of period 9).

More information here (background paper) and here (my original problem statement, presented at the Banff CGT conference problem session last month).

More tidbits from Aaron:

0.01222 has period 8 and quotient order 370
0.10322 has period 8 and quotient order 214

Cole, Owen and I downloaded a set of Lego modeling programs called LDraw.

It was surprisingly easy and fun to create our first Lego model (admittedly only two bricks).
