\"\"The threshold<\/em> instruction compares a subject to a value in an ordered series. It randomly sets a threshold in the series, beyond which values \u200b\u200bare false.<\/p>\n

This is an easy instruction, recommended for simple zebra puzzles. To use it, at least one ordered series is required. The threshold<\/em> instruction does not require the series to be regular.<\/p>\n

Ordered series: series containing values that are all increasing or all decreasing.
\nRegular ordered series: increasing or decreasing series whose values are separated by the same interval. The ranking of competitors is a regular increasing series, with interval +1.<\/h6>\n

Alice arrives before the third.
\nBob arrives after the second.
\nThe red jersey arrives after the third.
\nThe competitor who drinks lemon juice arrives before the fourth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this example, all rows containing false<\/em> signs are rows, but they can also be columns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Randomly selects an ordered series, an item s<\/em> forming a threshold in this series, and an item a<\/em> which will apply this threshold.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If the instruction operates in isolated mode, the designer does not select rows that already contain signs, including Booleans.<\/p>\n
