The universe is all akimbo.....
Write down the date and time!
My dad actually just told me something interesting. (it doesn't happen very often)


1. some people Streaked the new years eve party he went to (which, sadly, makes his NYE party significantly wilder than mine).

2. he told me about this cool game that's making me think about whether it has a computable strategy algorithm.

the game's called "take". each player gets a pile of pennies. one at a time, each person puts a penny into the middle until someone says "take" and takes all the pennies.then the taker puts in a new penny and it goes around again... BUT.. each person only gets 3 "takes". Last one with pennies left wins.

So now I'm thinking about if you could come up with an optimum strategy for when to "take" based on # of players A and Starting # of pennies B vs. # of pennies you have left C for each take.

Hrmmm... Haven't used the brain for this sort of thing in a while. This is gonna bug me all day. :)
