Exploring Integer Sums with AI: A Fun Collaboration!
Recently, Markus Krötzsch and I dove into a fascinating math puzzle: finding integer sums using each digit only once. From classics like 1+2=3 to complex combinations, we challenged ourselves and decided to code a solution.
Key Insights:
- Computational Challenge: Our brute-force approach generated over 5 billion permutations, illustrating complexity in computational math.
- Smart Coding: Markus optimized our method, reducing runtime to just 4 seconds using smarter heuristics—an impressive leap!
- AI Involvement: Out of curiosity, we asked ChatGPT for a solution. To our surprise, it produced the same count of solutions in a fraction of the time, revealing a radically different strategy.
This exercise didn’t just showcase coding skills but highlighted the evolving capabilities of AI in problem-solving.
