I did a quick look through some pages on game theory and it appears there are forced win scenarios for the first player. Now I don't know if you can get the algorithm to fit into a RCX but it does make the game kind of pointless if you can. Derek (22 years ago, 19-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
