Try and search for the other way to find em then

Sequence?

 

oh, is it possible for u too say what sequence the thieves went to avoid it? or is that not allowed

 

They stayed in bottom left for like 20 days and then went up via the left side

 

I could probably draw a route that just uses floors 1 and 2 that avoids your route

 

Ye that could work too

 

After looking at this for a while I can only conclude that there is no solution assuming that the thieves don't use the same pattern over and over again and you can't think outside the box. Even if it was one floor(with no ups and downs) there still isn't a pattern that would ensure that they were found as they can move left and right as they want so there is no way for a 100% chance (if you don't know where they start, if you do the minimum is 3 days). Multiple floors only amplifies this as you don't even know if you are searching the correct floor.

 

but they do use the same pattern over and over again

 

I mean the exact list of moves. Like they do L-L-L-U infinitely.

 

oh, i would explain it to ya but i kinda want dat le...

 

I know its l/r 3 times then up/down but that gives 8 possible outcomes each time....

 

i just tried ur method and it worked... god dangit!!!

There is a possible solution
Just as in a 1 floor flat where they always go in the room next to them

Better luck next time

 

Ask the pepole who live there... thats not against the rules

 

Then I must be missing something here, the thieves go left/right 3 times(this can be left-left-right, left-right-left etc.) and then go up or down a floor. Each time this sequence may use a different l/r and up/down. Also I'm assuming you can't think of any clever solutions that involve asking occupants etc. Also if they can go both ways in as long as they don't hit the side in a one flat there is no solution...

 

They have to do it on their own, else they could ask pedestrians

There is a solution, some people found a wayof 100% chance, but not the right amoumt of days

 

Wow okay

 

Damn this is really difficult, because the thieves can forever stay in 4 rooms and just cycle back and forth, or go all over the place, and after like 5-6 days you have no way to track them unless you know their starting room, which there's no way to, and even if you did you'd have 18 apartments each day.
You should give us a hint soon, or something, because we're all not able to figure this out.

 

I plan on giving a hint later today

 

well, ya stumped me.. can i share my ideas and stuff?
