Answer / guest
"O" should be placed in the center.
Let's number the positions as:
1 | 2 | 3
---------
4 | 5 | 6
---------
7 | 8 | 9
It is given that "X" is placed in one of the corner
position. Let's assume that its at position 1.
Now, let's take each position one by one.
? If "O" is placed in position 2, "X" can always win by
choosing position 4, 5 or 7.
? If "O" is placed in position 3, "X" can always win by
choosing position 4, 7 or 9.
? If "O" is placed in position 4, "X" can always win by
choosing position 2, 3 or 5.
? If "O" is placed in position 6, "X" can always win by
choosing position 3, 5 or 7.
? If "O" is placed in position 7, "X" can always win by
choosing position 2, 3 or 9.
? If "O" is placed in position 8, "X" can always win by
choosing position 3, 5 or 7.
? If "O" is placed in position 9, "X" can always win by
choosing position 3, or 7.
If "O" is placed in position 5 i.e. center position, "X"
can't win unless "O" does something foolish ;))
Hence, "O" should be placed in the center.

intelligent..

In the middle of the confounded desert, there is the lost city of "Ash". To reach it, I will have to travel overland by foot from the coast. On a trek like this, each person can only carry enough rations for five days and the farthest we can travel in one day is 30 miles. Also, the city is 120 miles from the starting point. What I am trying to figure out is the fewest number of persons, including myself, that I will need in our Group so that I can reach the city, stay overnight, and then return to the coast without running out of supplies. How many persons (including myself) will I need to accomplish this mission?
