Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe

Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe
Updated 7/16/2013 – See Original Here Once at a picnic, I saw mathematicians crowding around the last game I would have expected: Tic-tac-toe. As you may have discovered yourself, tic-tac-toe is terminally dull. There’s no room for creativity or insight. But the mathematicians at the picnic played a more sophisticated version. As I watched, the basic rules emerged quickly. Each turn, you mark one of the small squares. But it took a while for the most important rule in the game to dawn on me: You don’t get to pick which of the nine boards to play on. Then your next move must be here… This lends the game a strategic element. The resulting scenarios look bizarre. A few clarifying rules are necessary: What if my opponent sends me to a board that’s already been won? What if one of the small boards results in a tie? When I see my students playing tic-tac-toe, I resist the urge to roll my eyes, and I teach them this game instead. Anyway, that’s Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe. Like this: Like Loading... Related:  games

I am the fattest human I know. I have nothing but excess poundage all over my body. That, as we used to say during my Californian adolescence, was then. And so the authorities tell us, ever more loudly, that we are fat — disgustingly, world-threateningly fat. Moral panic about the depravity of the heavy has seeped into many aspects of life, confusing even the erudite. Several governments now sponsor jauntily named pro-exercise programmes such as Let’s Move! Hand-in-glove with the authorities that promote self-scrutiny are the businesses that sell it, in the form of weight-loss foods, medicines, services, surgeries and new technologies. Higher levels of female obesity correlated with higher levels of gender inequality in each nation Daily Weekly Explore Aeon Biology

My Abandonware - Download old PC games Why HTML is Not a Programming Language HTML is great. It defines the structure of webpages and it determines how data is displayed online. What you’re looking at right now is HTML code, read and interpreted by your browser. But this doesn’t make HTML a programming language. A Markup Language HTML is a type of markup language. That’s how the browser knows that However, this is not programming. Not a Programming Language Programming languages have functional purposes. Still Awesome Unfortunately, coding only in HTML doesn’t make you a programmer.

SocialOS from PeopleBrowsr - build your own social network At PeopleBrowsr, we are delighted to announce the launch of a brand new type of social network – one you can build and maintain yourself. With public platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, brands and consumers are increasingly being encouraged to use them exclusively to connect and communicate. Now that these networks have combined memberships in the billions, it is becoming harder to find those in your community that you have the most in common with and connect with. Brands are naturally investing time and energy into these public platforms, while at the same losing control of their brand, their fans and their community. David Armano in a post titled Social Business: Where It’s Been & Where It’s Going talked about the evolution of social media into social business. Figure 1.2 from “Social Business By Design” We think the next phase of social as we move towards social business will allow corporates and government entities to create their own networks.
