At first glance these 3 in bold make 3 in a row, so no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 ...this is probably wrong, BUT by placing 3 down the left and 3 down the right then you're placing 3 in two columns, not rows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 not placing them directly inside the squares or putting them around the boxish. Consider the OP to mean 'place them as you would in a normal game of tic tac toe' If you could put them anywhere, this wouldn't be much of a puzzle.

0 Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Can you place 6 X's on a Tic Tac Toe board without placing 3 in a row? No But if you can stack them then yes, technically one, or more won't be 'on' the board Edit for the following....Yes! place six On the board but make sure you don't out three consecutively in the same line Edited April 17, 2008 by Lost in space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 itachi-san Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) This turned out to be a better puzzle than I thought. You'll definitely smack yourselves when you figure it out The answer is not 'no' and you cannot stack them, consider them to be written.

0 bonanova Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 It's a paradox you win for solving, you loose the game! The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution. Oh wait. I'm about to repeat myself.

0 bonanova Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 XX X X XX if that makes sense Hint: use a monospaced font, like courier; or wrap it in code tags. Then you'll get this .XX .X X . XX or this .XX .X X . XX[/code] [The periods enforce the initial spacing of the 3rd line.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
