Play Tic-Tac-Toe with Knuth

Read Original

The article discusses a section from Donald Knuth's 'The Art of Computer Programming' on boolean evaluation for optimal tic-tac-toe moves. It recounts Knuth's amusing childhood story of outsmarting a Bell Labs tic-tac-toe machine and connects it to a similar problem described by Charles Babbage in 1864, blending computer science history with algorithmic game theory.
