2048 - Hackdot

Re:2048 by SonicSoul on Tuesday March 11, 2014 @01:26PM (#7380736)

awesome game. I love the math

  2 * 1024 = 2048
  4 * 512  = 2048
  8 * 256  = 2048
  ..
  1024 * 2 = 2048
            20480 <-- minimum points

is there a elegant formula to get to the minimum required points?

That's not quite the minimum points, since occasionally (10% of the time) a 4 spawns, instead of a 2.

that's incorrect.

just because a 4 gets spawned 10% of the time, doesn't mean that there couldn't be a game where 4 does not get spawned

4s reduce the total score. (E.g. I won with a score of about 20200 once.)
