Paradigm overview
One Touch Stockings of Cambridge is a touchless Tower of London planning task. Participants compare a current and target arrangement of three colored balls and choose the minimum number of legal moves needed to transform one into the other.
The implementation generates non-proprietary Tower states programmatically and computes optimal move counts with breadth-first search. It uses the published one-touch, think-then-answer variant rather than a drag-and-drop execution task.
Key scoring outputs
First-Choice Solved
countNumber of problems answered correctly on the first move-count choice.
Higher is better
First-Choice Latency
msAverage time before the first move-count answer.
Lower is better
Correct-Choice Latency
msAverage response latency on correctly solved problems.
Lower is better
2-Move Accuracy
proportionAccuracy for 2-move problems.
Higher is better
