For a go position and a color, a chain (also called solid block) is a maximal con- 5. nected set of stones of that color. Answer these questions for this position, from Figure 3.1 in Mathematical Go: Chilling Gets the Last Point by Berlekamp and Wolfe. (i) Give the number of black chains, white chains, black stones, white stones, black territory, white territory and the current score (e.g. Black by x or White by y or tied). (ii) Assume White now makes a non-pass move, and then both players pass. What is a best move for White? Explain briefly. (iii) From the position, assume White makes some number of non-pass moves and that Black e f ghi passes after each and then White passes. What is the best score that White can achieve? Explain briefly.

There are 22 gloves in a drawer: 5 pairs of red gloves, 4 pairs of yellow, and 2 pairs of green. You select the gloves in the dark and can check them only after a selection has been made. What is the smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair in the best case? in the worst case?
In a game of tic-tac-toe, two players take turnsmarking an available cell in a 3 x 3 grid with their respective tokens (either Xor O). When one player has placed three tokens in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonalrow on the grid, the game is over and that player has won. A draw (no winner)occurs when all the cells on the grid have been filled with tokens and neitherplayer has achieved a win. Create a program for playing a tic-tac-toe game.The program prompts two players to alternately enter an X token and O token.Whenever a token is entered, the program redisplays the board on the console anddetermines the status of the game (win, draw, or continue). Here is a sample run:
I’m meeting help with part C of this problem which is finding a recursive solution. The first picture shows you the problem and the second picture is the recursive solution that I have developed which is not working. Any help would be appreciated.

Each Othello piece has a black side and a white side. Here is how Othello is played.A piece is considered to be caught when it is encircled by its rivals on both the left and right sides, or both the top and bottom, and when its colour is reversed. You must capture at least one throughout your turn. any of your adversary's pieces. When neither player has any further move options, the game is over. The player who has the most pieces is declared the winner. Put Othello's object-oriented design into practice.
Consider a game in which two players take turns removing any positive number of matches they want from one of two piles of matches. The player who removes the last match wins the game. Show that if the two piles contain the same number of matches initially, the second player can always guarantee a win.
Design and explain a generic m-round winner tournament, Round-Winner-Tournament(P,m), for players P, in which the participants are matched randomly in each round 0, 1,...,m 1, and the winners advance to the next round. Following round m 1, the champion is chosen at random from among the remaining participants. This tournament structure, interestingly, contains the following special cases: m = 0 is a random selection tournament, m = 1 is a random pairing tournament, and m = lg |P| is a single elimination seeding tournament.
