Trax Problem
With the Trax tournament coming up, here is a Trax
puzzle for those with too much time on their hands
:-).
I happen to own two sets of Trax pieces (i.e., 128
tiles), although I will admit no face-to-face game I
have had yet has exceeded 64 tiles. That being stated
as background, the puzzle is:
What is the fewest number of legal moves a Trax game
can contain which yields a board with > 64 tiles?
For those unfamiliar with the rules of Trax, each play
may lead to forced plays and therefore every turn adds
>= 1 tile to the layout (tiles are never removed).
Email candidates directly to me (preferably in a form
that can be imported dirctely into the Trax 5.0
client!). I'll announce the best solution I receive
(say, in two weeks).
Cheers,
Lyman
