Oct 2, 2019 at 15:06 comment added Alex Morales Ok, I can clarify that. Each one of the m players know which number they picked up, but nothing else. I could say that, at the end of the algo, each player only knows its own number and the fact that no one else has the same one.
Oct 2, 2019 at 14:27 comment added poncho The most literal interpretation I can see: "pick $m$ different numbers so that nobody knows (not even the ones doing the picking) which ones were picked"
Oct 2, 2019 at 13:52 comment added Alex Morales Please read my question carefully and then tell me what is the best interpretation of the problem you can make out. From there I could work on a description that avoids any misunderstanding that arises :)
Oct 2, 2019 at 13:42 comment added poncho A better description of the problem would depend on what problem you're trying to solve. What is the problem? Remember: we're not mind-readers; you need to be explicit.
Oct 2, 2019 at 13:24 comment added Alex Morales I'm sorry I couldn't word it better, can you suggest a better description?
Oct 2, 2019 at 13:08 comment added poncho "it doesn't reveal which one did they pick or which ones were picked by the others." - if no one knows who picked which number, what's the point? Do you mean that everyone learns their own number, but not anyone else's?
