So I'm just sitting here watching paint dry and I thought 'Hey, I haven't written a blog post in a while!' because of course I have I have the difficulties of over usage of exclamation marks in my inner monologue too. I suppose I could write a post about how paint drys and about colour etc, but that'd be boring so instead I'll talk about being bored. Project 'I love geography' has been a partial success but I'm so sick of it I've treated myself to a bit of maths revision today! But I have discovered a new game to break up the geography revision. Previously my only entertainment was doodling in the margin but now I have a bit of intellectual stimulation!
Its called Quantum Tic Tac Toe! I originally found the app for this but then it moved so fast I had no idea what was happening so I tried it out on paper for a while to get to grips with it. I'm still developing a winning strategy but its quite tricky and when I let my dad play too it was too complicated! Its better when I play on my own at the moment! Basically it is the normal grid and the same aim as noughts and crosses but because it is quantum the noughts and crosses have the abilities of superposition. Cool right? So for each turn you get 2 shadow particles and you subscript the turn number this is. Then when a loop is closed (ie. X1 is in the same square as O6whos shadow pair is in the same square as O4 whose shadow pair is with X1) then you pick one of the particles in the square to be definitely there which then means the other possibilities must be in other positions. It sounds complicated but once you get playing it isn't so bad! Except having more than just 2 particles in one box threw me for a while. Here is a link to the proper rules that will probably be clearer!
