Is the picture a

• Sore Four (online example) or a
• Qubic (online example java)?

Which one is real Qubic: the 3d 4x4x4 Tic tac toe in which you can leave your token on the highest plattform anytime, or the one in that your token falls down? Which one did Patashnik and Victor Allis solve in their work (references)? --anon1

Qubic is 4x4x4 tic-tac-toe. Score Four has the additional restriction of stacking, usually implemented using colored beads on pegs. Victor Allis solved both games in his thesis, which may have led to some of the confusion. --IanOsgood 14:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Patashnik and Allis independently solved qubic (3d 4x4x4 tic tac toe). From the original paper (his masters thesis) by Allis, it seemed that he only weakly solved qubic. However I have not read his "Qubic solved again" paper mentioned in this page, but I think it is the same paper that was in his thesis. --anon2

The image was of Score Four although it is misnamed qubic.jpg. That is why I moved the image to the Score Four page. --IanOsgood 16:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
