So [property] can be anything that is independent from other stones, I suppose.

Generally I think one needs to be careful not to arrive at false conclusions this way. [property] looks like it can be any logical expression, to me.

[Feijoa]

Very colorful!

[Vsotvep]

As I wanted to say, [property] can be any expression that does not use quantifiers, so not just any logical expression. But I now see that I forgot to put “doesn’t” in the sentence you quoted…

[Vsotvep]

Good, so it’s not absolute at all, nor absolute restricted to either of the colours.

The last two seem to suggest that perhaps the colour of the stones is not important at all!

[Vsotvep]

If so, then perhaps this helps to find a pattern:

[martin3141]

I have a possible rule, should I guess it?

[Feijoa]

If you don’t want to give it away, you could always try to construct some entertainingly extreme examples to test.

[martin3141]

Ok I’ll try.

I’d guess the following is green:

and then red:

I’m curious if this is right

My suggestion is for all rule guesses to be in spoiler tags.

This will allow all puzzles to be solvable by current and future ouges without external spoilage.

@mafidufa

ouges

Just to clarify, is this a typo (where you actually meant to write “ogues” to imply that “OGS” is pronounced as a word that rhymes with “rogues”), or did you indeed mean to write “ouges”, which seems to imply a pronunciation that rhymes with “rouges”?

[mafidufa]

I meant Team Ouges as in the alt-text of your username or otherwise meaning all members of this forum past, present, and future

Edit: I used it because I think it is a good name, born of puns and ingenuity, and worthy of continuance.

[Vsotvep]

I think yebellz is questioning the placement of your “u”.

I’m Team Ouges from now on.

[mafidufa]

I didn’t even notice the typo, but this is a more natural spelling, no?

[Jon_Ko]

I’m afraid we’re losing another thread to linguistics.

[Vsotvep]

Naturally, Team Ouges fourever!

[mafidufa]

umm would you pronounce ouges vs ogues differently?

[BHydden]

I’m out of my depth in present company, but I’ll take a stab at Ouges being pronounced oo-zjes (similar to the french word for red) while Ogues sounds like OH-gs

Rule guess (potential spoiler)

The empty intersections are line symmetric.

The green boards did seem more pleasing to my eyes all the time, but I couldn’t say why.
