0 unreality Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I got this in seconds not to brag or anything hehe I'm sure someone's got it by now, It's like 3 pages so far my solution would be to put them in the squares adjacent to the center square, ie making a "plus" sign except for the middle square. Then put the next two in either topleft-bottomright or topright-bottomleft opposite corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the trick of it is that most people initially have to place an X in the center (some experience-based brain function) and then it's harder to think of excluding the center box.

0 Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I think most people got too technical with the word ROW as opposed to the spirit of the puzzle "no three in a straight line" XX- X-X -XX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 abhisk Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I got it.... I do not understand why this is so hard.oxx xox xxo All you have to do is make sure that the o's divide the tic-tac-toe in half, so that you can not have 3 x's in a row.

0 abhisk Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 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. You forgot the -Bertrand Russel part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
