Methods and apparatus of associating by a computerized system, labels with the order of execution of steps of solving a puzzle, game or activity, for one or more parts of one or more solution-paths for the puzzle, game or activity are described. Execution of the puzzle solution and also the particular sequence of steps in the solution paths are used to evaluate a relative efficiency of one sequence of steps over the other sequence. By quantifying efficiency of the solution path it becomes possible to logically and objectively compare the efficiency of two or more solutions or completions of the puzzle, game or activity.

Systems and methods to enhance and develop new games and activities based on logic puzzles

A class of games and activities of skill and logic, particularly puzzles based on reason and logic are described. Disclosed are a method and a system for comparing solutions to the puzzles based on the paths to solution and for completion of the activities based on the order of carrying out the steps of the activity. A number of applications of the method are disclosed for development of further puzzles and activities from the initial puzzle or activity, as well as for other enriching experiences and expressions, particularly the method of providing a priori or real time hints to a participant to solve the puzzle or advance in the activity. Also disclosed is a particular, novel method for participation by remote audience in logic and skill based activities such as creating or improving known logic puzzles and wagering.

The present invention provides a system and method for collecting and aggregating user-generated data based on user provided parameters and measures of relevance of underlying content. A user's data is combined with already existing collective data to generate relevant mark-ups for a document or other consumable data file, such as audio or video. The marked-up version of the document or data file is then displayed to users to, inter alia, help increase efficiency and assist in comprehension.

Method and system for computer-aided consumption of information from application data files

A system and method of communication based on the Reverse Multiple-Choice Method of teaching and testing is disclosed where at least one communicant is a machine. The method is applicable for training a machine for knowledge engineering and artificial intelligence oriented applications, as well as for a trained machine to assist a human being engaged in the activity of teaching or testing.

Reverse-multiple choice method for knowledge engineering and expert system implementation

The present invention comprises methods of developing and implementing educational products or materials, including testing products or materials, by utilizing multiple-choice questions. Starting with a given set of facts to be presumed in a question, the method may require one to examine each answer choice, and inquire how a set of facts to be presumed could be modified to make that answer choice the 'correct' or 'best' answer choice. If a given answer choice is already correct, no modification is needed. If a given answer choice is not correct, various modifications may be employed, including changing some of the words or phrases, or other symbols or objects within the set of facts to be presumed.
