Riddles and puzzles

[Lebanese Dragon]

I changed some wording but didn't change any meaning in my answer to the riddle, I posed. Also I assumed in the riddle I posted that the Logicians will not change their strategy of play no matter what (which I actually think is quite logical). With that restriction, and the restriction the strict pattern player will also not change his or her pattern then the solution I gave is quite clear.

Abusing patterns is a dangerous game to play when you don't know anything about your opponent, and verse equal players it's nullfied. If you're sufficiently up in points, you can take a risk and check to see if your opponent has caught how strongly you know their pattern (aka try for an abuse). This is a wasted effort verse an equal player (even if that player started the game with a pattern).

You really need to know the percentage of perfect players playing at the tournament, and non-perfect players to know if you should risk trying to abuse a pattern. (In my example you did know that, hence why you can abuse).
