hey..I bet all of u guys ever played tic-tac toe right!?
How about toe-tac-tic? that's backward from tic-tac-toe (who finish first is lose)
the 1st player in toe-tac-tic usually get disadvantages, and he usually lose.

but, how about 3-d toe-tac-tac? my prof. told me there's a winning strategy for the 1st player in 3-d toe-tac-tic. but I can't figure it out yet. can anyone help me? that's kinda fun, but confusing. :lol:

thnx alot!
 
oya.. just for the information. that's 3-D toe-tac tic 3x3x3, not 4x4x4.

I really appreaciate any helps.

Thnx lot
 
I can only find 4×4×4 sites. Could you provide a link to a 3×3×3 site?

Thank you.

Eliz.
 
just so you know,

The rule in my math problem in different from that software, mine is you have to play backward(who get 3 in a row 1st is lose). and also the rule is only one chance not like in that software.

not sure? have a question? feel free to ask me!

I really appreaciate any helps,

thnx lots.
 
I don't have time to investigate right now but I THINK you take the center then match their move on the opposite end of the diagonal thru the center.

:? which center? u mean the center in the 2nd floor? sorry, i'm still confused with your explaination. :lol: could u explain more detail?

thnx!
 
Yup, the center center one. The one you couldn't see if it were a cube. We are working a 3 by 3 by 3 aren't we? Then what ever they take you take the same one on the opposite side. The other end of a line thru the middle of the cube. The worst you can do is draw, I'm pretty sure.
 
oke.. but how about if the opponent took the center (center in the 1st floor or 2nd floor?) which way i should take? :? :? :roll:
 
I thought you were playing first. You take 2nd floor center (1st play). If he takes 1st floor center (second play) you take 3d floor center (3d play), the other end of the diagonal.
 
Ya.. I played 1st. ooh i got it now :oops: so If he takes 1st floor center (second play) you take 3d floor center (3d play), but how about if he takes one of the block in the 2nd floor, which floor should I take?
 
Why is it so hard to understand???? You take the OTHER END of the line through the center from what he took. You can't lose.
 
:? :? :? ooke.. thnx, i just thought that is not a good idea by taking the center of the second floor..
 
By taking those the only way you could get three in a row is if he already had three in a row. That makes it the best move for toe-tac-tic. It is also a winning move for tic-tac-toe. You can force a win.
