@knov @Lovelarap

Parth (parthkohli):

Depends on whose turn it is. Either could win from here by placing it in the center box.

OpenStudy (knov):

i assume he wants to find out whose turn it is.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

only one people can win

OpenStudy (knov):

a,b,d in a question confusing me.

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh, I thought this was a normal game of tic-tac-toe. Just noticed those conditions.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

true^^...whose turn isit

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

either the one who uses cross mark or the one who uses smiley face

Parth (parthkohli):

OK, turns out that it is a normal game of tic-tac-toe actually. In that case, the data would be inadequate.

OpenStudy (bobo-i-bo):

I think i know the answer. :P I won't tell you it, but it's either a or b. What you have to do, is to assume that it is one of their turns and work backwards, and then you'll come to an impossible situation.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

we have priority option so if this game is played by not ( dumb people) then whom every play next win. so i chose option C

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

what is : giving priority to a over b ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

whom ever*

OpenStudy (knov):

@ikram002p nice explaining. :D

OpenStudy (vsvampires309):

It doesn't give you who's turn is next or a pattern for you to follow to see who's turn is next, so I think it's D, but I might be wrong.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

bobobo if u know the answer please explain me

OpenStudy (knov):

the question it self is so confusing.Grammatically incorrectly written ?

OpenStudy (knov):

i don't get these smiley and X in the question. I guess it's misplaced.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

no the question should be correct as far i know

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

Well i first chose d.) but it is given incorrect

Parth (parthkohli):

This game is being played by dumb people though, I think. Like this situation in this game shouldn't arise if the players have a 50+ IQ.

OpenStudy (knov):

i assume logically it's C. since both smiley or X wins.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

i say c

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

c.) too given incorrect

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

in book option b.) is given correct :/

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

then somewhere in there it is telling us whose turn it is ???

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

i think that the student needs to find itself who started the game

Parth (parthkohli):

ah, I see it now. what you see there is a trap laid by the smiley guy. the previous turn consisted of the X placed on (3, 3)

OpenStudy (knov):

@ParthKohli sounds logical to me. somehow it looks funny. it's like 1+1 is 2. 1 - 1 is 0. find out the mass of the earth.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

but why did the crossx guy fell in the trap ???

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

oh lol i see now haha

OpenStudy (panda.exe):

i would just say dont play tic tac toe

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

|dw:1460040811857:dw|

OpenStudy (panda.exe):

your dead to me

Parth (parthkohli):

what we can say here is that O had the first move. can we now predict how the whole game must have gone? does it follow the rules given in the problem?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes i think the trap had the x cross guy loosing anyhow

Parth (parthkohli):

yeah but can we come up with a sequence of moves to reach this point of the game?

Parth (parthkohli):

the sequence would obviously consist of some bad moves by X

Parth (parthkohli):

let's play|dw:1460041110658:dw|
