How to Never Lose at Tic Tac Toe 

I'm pretty sure he paid the guy from Wendover to read the Wikipedia page.

We all belong to youtube university which is better

Actually I found the strat when I was a kid.

Hey it's you again

My resume: Wikipedia scholar, RU-vid university graduate, Reddit detective, Google maps geographer.

As an engineer major, yeah makes sense

I believe game theory is worth that insult

cs major can relate

@@JohnSmith-kj2od game theory deserves every insult.

@@SpecterNeverSpectator.. sounds like I'm missing something here Why exactly is game theory hated

They could bring back corollas tho

Giraffe as interesting

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Giraffe as Interesting has always been an integral part of the show and is already established in the lore as a recurring character

what are you on about. he’s always been here. as has calf as interesting

I'm here for a different debate, either way it's established that right now giraffe as interesting is a full time real character. So what's his pay? Is the wage hourly or by commission, is it full time or part time. I NEED THE ANSWERS PEOPLE

Exactly thats expected but he needs to make the video interesting so yeah

Half

Chess in a nutshell

That's a half as interesting fact, thank you!

Half as expecting

same, but i used to play middle

The trick is to not spam it or they'll eventually go first

Same I was the best in my skl

@@FalseRadiation if they go first then you just have to go middle and then go inbetween to force a tie

Same. Actually everyone was confused why I'm not going middle in the first move, so THEY moved in the middle, so most of the time game ended with a tie. When I was second, the output of the game was more random since I didn't figure out the sure tie strategy for some reason.

Same, I found out about most of this by myself as a kid

I was pooping one day and was board so I decided to look at every possible tik tax toe outcome

@@tavasp Tik tax toe sounds like something on the IRS website for kids

@@pearspeedruns lol

Well in my mind youre still a genius

Oof the secret was out and everyone lived a disappointing life until they died

That why I never told anyone in primary skl

Then place it in middle, it's another solution

Took you middle school to figure that?

There's a bit more to it then starting either in the middle or a corner. Start from the side to stump someone who thinks they got the basics figured out. Mathematically, the odds of winning are smaller but psychologically this works better against more experienced players. This line of play is covered in the wiki page but not the one way you could end up in a winning "fork" position when you do not go first. It requires your opponent to make a mistake that only veteran players tend to make. Tic-tac-toe is figured out for sure, just not quite in the way most people say it is, which goes for much else in life too. Have fun working it out!

well it was a long time coming. both are long running returning characters. should have predicted it really

@@eelsemaj99 Exactly, I'm not sure why everyone is so surprised that these two characters are in this video

BoJack referense, nice

But it was the medium-necked Giraffe. Wasn't that the extinct one?

@@JasperNLxD he was only acting at being extinct

And math notebooks in school were perfect for it.

I think you would like Go. It’s basically what you just described.

@@eliturner7963 Maybe, I'll try....

@@noamz9527 Exactly, the magic is in the simplicity!

Tic tac toe isn't fun on its own but it makes a good building block for better versions of it

@@LNB627 LUMBAGO

What a coincidence! Me too!

This comment told me that @LlL Odinson saw how to never lose at tic-tac-toe.

@@LNB627 I think so too

@@TracyNorrell This comment told that @Tracy Norrel saw how @LIL Odinson saw how to never lose at tic-tac-toe.

You can't win at Newark, all you can do is suffer

No no no that will be on the totally unrelated RU-vid channel Wendover productions because it's planes

@@noobsquad2652 But... bricks

you never win if you end up at Newark

🤣

Stop being boring and learn side theory then

You: *starts argument* Person 2: no, you're wrong You: *moves to the left*

Not at all

There's Niagara Falls down there

That's pretty cool

Not on this channel they're not!

@@TOSkwar22 literally exactly what I was going to say.

you must be new here

@@quw1556 oh no I was with this guy since Wendover was his only Channel oh, I just thought of mentioning his humor style now

@@cplhotpockets wtf are you talking about, HAI and the guy from Wendover are totally different people

Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I have two DANGEROUSLY DASHING girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest RU-vidr ever, having two hot girlfriends is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear qwe

@@AxxLAfriku My Lord, please forgive me. I was merely pointing out a roast of utmost brutality to the individual who espoused it. I apologize for the inconsistency of me not recognizing the true magnificence of AxxL and his two DANGEROUSLY DASHING girlfriends.

But true.

@@AxxLAfriku god I could not care less

@@AxxLAfriku ?

lovely to see the return of calf as interesting too. nice to see them finally in an episode together

Amazons is a better game. Numberphile has a good vid about Elwin Berlekamp and this game.

Do not play 4x4, it's a guaranteed win for the first player, it's not better, same for higher level tictactoe

2x2 tic tac toe needs to be invented

@@bruce4139 first player will always win no matter what position

@@hurktang you must be trolling

Which you would already know if you'd watched The classic 1983 movie wargames.

*Step 2: Done*

Global Thermonuclear War is a strong solved game, as there is only one winning move.

My first thought as well haha

This is the most Dutch thing ever.

Tasty breakfast,.

what are you on about?? he’s always been here

What detail was off?

@@61rampy65 GODDAMIT how could I forget 😂 Ngl feeling like a disgrace to the HAI fandom 😭😂

What if they tie

I don’t know what you mean. Sam only has one channel.

@@funnycat9962 yeah, theres sam and the dork at wendover productions

He already did it once, I got the notification. He just took down he video right away and put it on the correct channel.

@@tealmer3528 It’s a JOKE, we all know he did it, on pupose too after the first time.

He literally only did that once. Stop banging on about it.

Fun is overrated

Next week ? I have an exam tommorow 😂😂

I have to study for five exams (writing them all within 14 days), and I'm watching this too. I think I'm screwed

Yeah I feel the pain.

Never buy hotels on monopoly

have you seen an anime named "no game no life"? go see it if you haven't, you get your answer, and ya you're welcome.

@@harishrajnish7207 yes i have, but i need the half as interesting reboot XDDDDDDDDD

@@Charly_5V nice, actually I would also like to see that.

The major problem would be how Giraffe and Calf can demonstrate the hand shapes.

no game no life
