| Aug 8, 2017 at 17:00 | comment | added | PurkkaKoodari | @LuisMendo When writing the challenge I did notice that considering straight paths is sufficient. I thought about mentioning it, but I decided to let the answerers figure it out. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 16:35 | comment | added | Gryphon | Additionally, the above plan makes it impossible for you to get out alive, as you will be tied up. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 16:33 | comment | added | Gryphon | I, speaking as the evil farmer, would never soak the field in gasoline first. I would tie you up, place you in the exact center of the field, and then start fires at the corners. Then I would watch as the fire slowly moves toward you so I can enjoy your terror longer. Much more evil that way. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 16:30 | comment | added | JungHwan Min | @LuisMendo If it is possible to escape when the farmer turns, it's always possible for him/her to escape in a straight line. For instance, let's say the farmer is trying to escape to the right of the field. When the farmer moves one space down, some fire will spread downwards; then, the farmer's situation is the same as the initial position (plus more fire). | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 16:21 | comment | added | Luis Mendo | In all the truthy test cases you can escape following a straight line. Actually the general problem is more complicated if you have to consider non-straight paths. Since that seems to be the case, you should add a test case where you can escape but not following a straight path (or clarify that only straight paths need be considered) | |

| Aug 8, 2017 at 14:04 | comment | added | PurkkaKoodari | @Mr.Xcoder Any field will contain exactly one of your location | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 13:19 | comment | added | Mr. Xcoder | I agree with Pietu1998, I also feel that the restriction is highly appropriate. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 13:16 | comment | added | PurkkaKoodari | @DeadPossum Because I feel like it would simplify the challenge too much and make it a bit too broad. Feel free to disagree, though; if others agree with you I might change the restriction. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 13:14 | comment | added | Dead Possum | Why is there this restriction: "You may not take as input the locations for fire and/or yourself."? It just adds task to find O and Fs in input | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 13:14 | comment | added | PurkkaKoodari | To both downvoters, please explain why my challenge is bad. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 12:39 | comment | added | TheLethalCoder | @OliverNi Probably because of the inspired by comment, instead of reading it they saw that thought it was a chameleon and down voted. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 12:35 | comment | added | Oliver Ni | I don't see why someone downvoted | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 12:34 | comment | added | Oliver Ni | This is kinda like the 'Meteor Showers' USACO problem | |
