Alice called, she is writing to Parker and wanted to suggest a date I said Monday Aug 12. HA She was also writing to X and we discussed whether she should say that it is pretty much too late to catch other manufacturers this year and that they could hold outo games they might use till next May..... A man, Mr. blinsky (spelling ?) wrote to Alice saying se he had submitted some games to whitman who is on the verge of giving hima contract for one of them, Bob Engel ... Mary Hill suggested he get int touch with Alice Alice will tell him to send them to her, To N.Y. G. A. meeting @ CERIMA. When I got there Anthur & Wald were showing ALCHEMYo to two tellows and ignored me. When Claude came we played a Nim g GAMEo he developed from a puzzle. Ten cards are placed face ap in... a circle, Players in turn start from any face up card and, counting it as count & in either direction and landing... on another facę up card turn it face down, when a player ? can't make such a move he has lost I discovered that the and player can fonce a win by maintaing syrometry, this can probebly be corrected by using 11 cards. - We then played a GAME against a game learning machine There is a game theory payoff chart as shown.com There are 20 each of RED 12 blue, green, and red pas. ( Claude used links of necklaces which he buys... GREEN EDB by the ppound), 10 of each color are placed a bag and so of each are left on the BLUE D121151 table. One player plays against the "machine" He to chooses any one of the 3 strategies and a t then draws a pc from the bag, The intersection determines the gain or loss - for the playen, score is kept of the players and the machine's score and the first to reach 10o determines the outcome. Each time the player scores the pe, pulled is left out of the bag. Each time the machine scores the po pulled is returned to the bag plus one from the table. A player can switch strategies whenever he wants... It was interesting but strategy Y handly seemed worth using, we tried the following Variations of the chart but couldn't bring y into play: 7 K-DK-412 €412 @ 13/15 3) 10 (cont. on 7/17)
