I checked some details with General Brown and Admiral White. Evidently, Dr. Jones had miscounted the number of rolls. Based on this new information, below is the correction of my summary.

[Okay, actually what happened is between the time I wrote the initial post and this post, I found a perfect-play sequence that is even shorter -- by five rolls. As it affects nobody's analysis but my own, I'm "adjusting" that part of the story. I'll update if/when I reprint.]


Let's recap what we were told about this amazing game (in progress):

.....(1) Standard money rules were in effect.
.....(2) The checker play and cube action were perfect on both sides.
.....(3) Jones rolled 55 times (counting the opening roll), and Smith rolled 54 times.
.....(4) The cube was turned 64 times (and therefore not turned only 44 times!). It thereby reached 2^64.
.....(5) The opening position was showing on the board.

Crikey, was I in a madhouse?

Or... Could Smith's and Jones' claims actually be true? If so, HOW?


Here is the continuation of the Smith and Jones thread.
