What's the Logic of this Application using Math

In summary, the conversation discusses a mobile application that has four screens, each with numbers. The application asks the user if their age is among the numbers, and the user responds with a yes or no. This process repeats four times, and the application eventually determines the user's age based on their responses. The participants also discuss the logic behind the application, suggesting that it may be a binary test where each yes/no answer provides one bit of information. However, it is believed that four screens may not be enough to determine the age accurately and more queries may be needed.

Here i attached some mobile application screenshots
I want to know the logic of this application

1:- It have four screens and every screen have numbers.
2:-Application asked on every screen "Do you Know your age is here in these numbers".
3:-If i see the number is on the screen then i pressed "Yes" otherwise press "NO".
4:-This procedure repeat 4 times and application fined out the number or age that is in my mind.

Help me the Logic of this Application using Math.

It would be helpful if we had access to all four screens so that we could compare and figure out how the algorithm is operating. One and a half screens are not enough.

Also, the links to the attachments are irrelevant to this question.

It seems to be a binary test. Each yes/no answer provides only one bit of information, which trims any list down to a 16th of the original list. From a list of 100, that still leaves 6-7 values after 4 pages. Don't see how it can work without 3 more queries.

Seems to me you get more than one bit's worth of info per screen but not enough to do it in 4 screens.
 

FAQ: What's the Logic of this Application using Math

What is the purpose of using math in an application?

The logic behind using math in an application is to perform calculations and manipulations on data in order to achieve a desired outcome. This could include making predictions, analyzing patterns, or solving complex problems.

How does math make an application more efficient?

By incorporating mathematical concepts and algorithms, an application can automate processes that would otherwise be time-consuming and prone to human error. This can lead to increased efficiency and accuracy in data processing and analysis.

What types of math are commonly used in applications?

The types of math used in applications can vary depending on the specific purpose of the application. However, some common examples include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, statistics, and calculus.

Can the logic of an application using math be explained in simple terms?

While the underlying mathematical concepts of an application may be complex, the logic behind it can often be broken down into simpler terms. This can help users understand how the application works and how to use it effectively.

How important is it for an application to have a sound mathematical logic?

The importance of mathematical logic in an application cannot be overstated. Without a solid understanding of mathematical principles and how to apply them, an application may not function properly or produce accurate results.
