@jakehofman @johnjhorton @chenzix @alex_peys Oh man… this is great. I spent a lot of time playing/thinking about Set in high school but haven’t in years. When I first saw @johnjhorton’s cool program, my first thought was “don’t check each 3-element subset, for each pair, look to see of the third is present.”

@jakehofman @johnjhorton @chenzix @alex_peys but I think it’s actually equivalent. The real speed ups seem to be from only checking “realistic” potential sets, and checking in a smart order. (I’m only going off the heuristics I use when playing with cards.)

@jakehofman @johnjhorton @chenzix @alex_peys I’d first look for an attribute that looks common among the dealt cards. Are there a lot of reds? Are there a lot of diamonds? Then check first for sets that are all the same on that dimension.
