To N.Y. G. A. meeting @ CERIMA. When I got there Anthur & <br> | |||
Wald were showing <u>ALCHEMY</u> to two fellows and ignored <br> | |||
me. When Claude came we played a Nim <u>GAME</u> he developed <br> | |||
from a puzzle. Ten cards are placed face up in <br> | |||
a circle. Players in turn start from any face up card and, <br> | |||
counting it as 1, count 4 in either direction and landing <br> | |||
on another face up card turn it face down. When a player <br> | |||
can't make such a move he has lost. I discovered that <br> | |||
the 2nd player can fonce a win by maintaining symmetry. <br> | |||
This can probably be corrected by using 11 cards. <br> | |||
We then played a <u>GAME</u> against a game learning <br> | |||
machine. There is a "game theory" payoff chart as shown. <br> | |||
There are 20 each of blue, green, and red pcs. <br> | |||
[Diagram of a 3 x 3 grid populated with numbers: <br> | |||

All negative numbers are circled.] | |||
(Claude used links of necklaces which he buys <br> | |||
by the pound). 10 of each color are placed <br> | |||
in a bag and so of each are left on the <br> | |||
table. One player plays against the "machine", <br> | |||
He <s>can</s> chooses any one of the 3 strategies <br> | |||
and <s>tell</s> then draws a pc from the bag. The <br> | |||
intersection determines the gain or loss(-) <br> | |||
for the player. A score is kept of the players and the <br> | |||
machine's score and the first to reach 100 determines <br> | |||
the outcome. Each time the player scores the pc. pulled is <br> | |||
left out of the bag. Each time the machine scores the <br> | |||
pc. pulled is returned to the bag plus one from the table. A <br> | |||
player can switch strategies whenever he wants. <br> | |||
It was interesting but strategy Y hardly seemed worth <br> | |||
using. We tried the following variations of the chart but <br> | |||
couldn't bring Y into play : - | |||
[Diagrams of four 3 x 3 grids. Each square in each grid is populated with a number ranging from -20 to +15. The negative numbers are all circled and there are 4 nagatives in every 3 x 3 grid.] | |||
