Task
Set, the card game
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
File:Fifteen set cards.jpg
twelve Set cards

The card game, Set, is played with a pack of 81 cards, each of which depicts either one, two, or three diamonds, ovals, or squiggles. The symbols are coloured red, green, or purple, and the shading is either solid, striped, or open. No two cards are identical.

In the game a number of cards are layed out face up and the players try to identify "sets" within the cards.

A set is three cards where either the symbols on the cards are all the same or they are all different, the number of symbols on the cards are all the same or all different, the colours are all the same or all different, and the shadings are all the same or all different.

For example, this is a set:

two solid green ovals
one open green squiggle
three striped green diamonds

because each card depicts a different symbol, the number of symbols on each card is different, the colours are all the same, and the shadings are all different.

This is not a set:

two solid purple ovals
one open green squiggle
three striped green diamonds

because two of the cards are green and one is purple, so the colours are neither all the same nor all different.

task
  • Create a representation of a pack of Set cards, shuffle it, select a specified number of cards from the pack and list them in the output.
  • Identify the sets in the selected cards and list them.

Cards are 0..80 in decimal, which is 0000..2222 in base 3, and we can just subtract '/' from each digit to get indexes 1..3 to the constants.

two striped purple diamonds


In the whole deck, there are 1080 sets.

Quackery

Why does isset, the word that tests if three cards constitute a set, use + and mod?

If we map any of the properties, say colour, onto the numbers 0, 1 and 2, then the sum of three colours mod 3 is 0 if and only if all the colours are different or all the colours are the same. This can be confirmed exhaustively, or for the underlying mathematics see the first two paragraphs of the section "A Mathematical Perspective" (pages 7 and 8) in this paper:

SETs and Anti-SETs: The Math Behind the Game of SET, by Charlotte Chan

transpose is defined at Matrix transposition#Quackery.

comb and arrange are defined at Combinations#Quackery.
