I'm a hobbyist programmer, part-time sysadmin, and full-time data center automation consulting engineer.
I have experience with myriad editors, shells, and OSes. And, while I'm an ardent emacs user, am pretty much beyond the religious wars of "what's best" when it comes to platform, editor, or toolset: if it works for the problem at hand, and you know it, it's [probably] worthwhile :)

Games that have no element of luck. @corsiKa - checkers is "solved", too: doesn't mean you can't still win or lose. Memorizing all the possible solutions is crazy |

How does the RATUKI card work? @thesunneversets it would seem that if the Ratuki is a 5, it ends the pile. If you have a 2 on top and you play the Ratuki, one presumes you'd only play it as a 1 if it would help your hand. |

Buying houses and selling hotels in a housing shortage based on the order given in this question, sounds like the purchase demand was made prior to the sell offer - which would, if we were operating in the world of millisecond-trading, mean that the buyer-only gets preference over the seller-buyer |

Buying houses and selling hotels in a housing shortage selling his 3 hotels (just to go to 4 houses each, as required per boardgames.stackexchange.com/q/925/180) eliminates the houses from the bank (since there are only 12) |

Buying houses and selling hotels in a housing shortage @ChrisDodd - in general, 3 houses is the optimum |

Buying houses and selling hotels in a housing shortage possible duplicate of What happens when you need to tear-down a hotel but no houses are in the bank in Monopoly? |

If you pass GO, do you collect 200 at the end of the turn or as you pass GO? @shujaa - the rules indicate it is as soon as you do so |

If you pass GO, do you collect 200 at the end of the turn or as you pass GO? if you've rolled doubles and you get the go back three spaces bit, it's still your turn, you can pass go again; you could hit it a third time on the same turn if that roll took you to the "Advance to Go" card. Possible ... but improbable ;) |

Avoiding stealing a resource when moving the robber in Catan @beam022 - I was more indicating that you could 'return' it as soon as was allowed :) |
