Feb 18, 2023 at 12:06 comment added Andrew Savinykh I understand that if the clock is running the mathematicians make it stop, so it will not run again. I'm also assuming that supervisors won't notice that and won't not "fix/start" the clock.
Feb 17, 2023 at 15:26 comment added justhalf @theozh is it not important because when you said "the resolution is 1 minute", it already takes into account the moving clock and the timing of the prisoners being brought into the room, I guess?

Feb 17, 2023 at 5:57 comment added theozh @z100 it's not important whether the clock is running. It's not explicitly mentioned, but they can stop it. Yes, you have more information.
Feb 17, 2023 at 5:28 comment added theozh @FlorianF 1. the king determines the (random) order. At the beginning they are all in the same room. So partially, they know the order. 2. this is not important, let's assume it's showing the right time.

Feb 16, 2023 at 23:23 comment added z100 Is it a running clock? By the way at the end on standing clock 720 positions under the conditions described is possible to be displayed. which is equal to 6!. Thera are 7! possible arrangements, so somehow try to use the known information for each mathematician himself.
Feb 16, 2023 at 22:52 comment added Florian F Two questions: 1. Do they know in which order they go? For instance, are they going in alphabetical order and they know it? 2. If not, is the clock randomly set before the first prisonner passage?
