This morning, I came accross Cameron Sun’s Probabilistic Tic-Tac-Toe on HN . However, the comments were disappointing, with people proposing probabilistic models, linear programming, minimax algorithms, and heuristic evaluations to develop AI approaches for the game, none of which quite correct.

Fast Perfect Hashing
A perfect hash function is one that is collision-free. By implication, the hash must be at least as many bytes as the key and the function is theoretically reversible, though not always tractably so.
