rar 894-876, the computer is definitely better suited to do this kind of computation though. Can you win by going second? Seems impossible.

I don't think so. At least not at 21.

I beat 21 and 42 going first, but failed many many times at 21 letting the computer go first.

ya 59 was long enough.

did it with 21.

now i did 64 numbers, but they are random. highest number is 126.

i did the first move and now i've been waiting for over 2 minutes for the taxman to pick. he's tried 20 million different moves and is yet undecided.

i will keep you all posted as this epic games continues.

The game is still trying to make its first decision on this 64 bag, random number game.

It is at 200 million moves tried.

I obviously stumped it with my first move.

you could make the depth lower so it doesn't try that many moves.
