Harem

[Callid]

Well the answer leaked ... damn it...
So ... let's see....
To set up a new Riddle could help us but it really won't help to prevent cheating...
what should I do?

What about the following riddle:

Assume we are only concerning ourselves with the ports 4869 to 4968. All of them are not forwarded at the moment+. Now, we run 100 different programs, one after the other. The first one forwards every port to your computer. The second only takes every second one (4870; 4872 etc.) and, if they re forwarded, erases the forwarding, and establishes one if they are not. The third one does the same with every third (4871; 4874 etc.), the fourth one with every fourth one etc.
The hundredths one finally forwards/stops forwarding the 100th one (4968).
After all programs have finished, how many (and which!) ports are forwarded?

So.... callid also starts a harem now?

*looks at callid's riddle*
*coughs something that sounds like 'doors'*

I mean... mighty cold I'm getting, here :V

Nah, I just create a riddle for Kogorou

[Kogorou]

Is my Math totally hyped up or yours?
I count 99 ports

[Callid]

Is my Math totally ef'd up or yours?
I count 99 ports

Yours. Don't forget, both 4869 and 4968 are included

[Akonyl]

what, you got cold meds or somethin'? :V

you're including both of the ports, so you have to remember to add 1 after subtracting

[Kogorou]

OKay now we talking right here

[Callid]

what, you got cold meds or somethin'? :V

That too.

[Akonyl]

what, you got cold meds or somethin'? :V

That too.

I was gonna respond to this with joke-hinting but I guess I should stop for people trying to figure it out.

Let them try until they are at loss

[Callid]

1 forwarded
2 forwarded
5 forwarded
10 forwarded
17 forwarded
26 forwarded
37 forwarded
50 forwarded
65 forwarded
82 forwarded
10

There you go.

Sadly, that's wrong. Did you really... calculate them? O.O

[Akonyl]

if you did count them, you should've see nthat #2 is not forwarded anyway, as program #1 opens it, #2 closes it and none of the programs after that touch it. So I hope you didn't.

[Kogorou]

Starting from 4869 as Port 1

1 forwarded
4 forwarded
9 forwarded
16 forwarded
25 forwarded
36 forwarded
49 forwarded
64 forwarded
81 forwarded
100 forwarded
10
