May 2018 Puzzle Periodical - Shall We Play a Game? Computer Tic-Tac-Toe
May 15, 2018 â Creator Challenge Difficulty Rating: Hard This month's NSA Puzzle Periodical pays tribute to the 1983 motion picture "WarGames." In the movie a supercomputer is programmed to play Tic-Tac-Toe. The computer plays itself with each X and O placed uniformly at random into any square (this means the computer plays without regard to strategy). What is the probability a game will end in a draw? Assume perfect random number generation. The first X will be placed in any square with probability 1/9. The first O will go into any of the remaining squares with probability 1/8 and so on. Click to see the answer!

Coram, I was going to suggest [strategies] because #3019 was talking about games and the NSA link was to Tic Tac Toe:
Tic Tac > Tactics > Strategies
I think you're probably right with [restraints] but thought I'd still add this as an option.
Barlow was a former chairman of the Sublette County Republican Party, and served as western Wyoming campaign coordinator for Dick Cheneyduring his 1978 Congressional campaign. Although he had lauded Cheney as "the smartest man I've ever met [with] the possible exception of Bill Gates", Barlow subsequently renounced Cheney prior to his Vice Presidency, owing to his perceived repudiation of environmental and civil-rights issues in Congress. Barlow opined that "Dick's votes⌠were parts of complex deals aimed at enhancing his own power⌠[H]e has the least interest in human beings of anyone I have ever met."[43][44]
