Description

This program is an adaptation of a mathematical game originally
presented in Scientific American, Jan., 1973. Up to a 9x9 grid
is set up by you with the'upper left square a pOison square.
This grid is the cookie. Players alternately chomp away at the
cookie from the lower right. To take a chomp, input a row and
column number of one of the squares remaining on the cookie.
All of the squares below and to the right of that square, in-
cluding that square, disappear.
Any number of· people can play -- the computer is only the
moderator; it is not a player. Two-person strategies are in-
teresting to work out but strategies when three or more people
are playing are a real challenge.
