I thought I understood sets until I saw a show on PBS where a guy showed how there were different infinities using them and I realized I knew nothing.
I have a friend who had the license plate “ALEPH NUL” which I thought was good nerd humor.
Finite games are all definite, either player 1 as a winning strategy or player 2 has, all other “outcomes” are just mental illnesses. Get over it, math doesn’t care about your feelings.
That would be true, except draws exist
Tie goes to winner of the next game, easy fix
Congrats, the game is now non-finite (you can just keep drawing forever).
Draw goes to the player who moved second?
On the other hand, he Doesn’t think you can double a sphere by cutting it into 5 pieces and reassembling them, so there’s that.
The bait and switch on this one really caught me off guard and gave me a great laugh. Good post.
Ok, i dont understand this level of math, but cant you force a win in a 2 player game of non-infinite moves? Why wouldnt you be able to? Genuinely asking
Tic-tac-toe always ends in a draw with perfect play.
You could design a different game that does though. E.g. A Tic-tac-toe variant but the player who starts looses if they don’t get 3 in a row by the end of the game.
Mmm, i did overlook the, very obvious in hindsight, draw outcome. Thanks
I hope that at least he believes in the Axiom of Choice.
… That’s the joke. (That he doesn’t)
