I stumbled upon this game.

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pearl.shtml

pretty simple rules but pretty hard to beat the computer.

It's somewhat evident that this is a solved game. while trying to figure out the algorithm, I stumbled upon an easy way to beat the computer without having to solve the game.

I'm not going say how I beat the game for the benefit of the other readers.

if you figure out the solution, could you PM me? Thanks.

BTW, I figure out the solution for 2 rows (easy) and I think I got 3 rows (not sure)

Thanks.

BTW, if you beat the game, it'll take you to a website where you can play Pearl 1, 2, or 3. The Pearl 3 is pretty hard to beat.

I'm fiddling with it. I'll get back to you when I'm finished with my analysis.
