Two players would be given 16 pieces each, lined up on either side of the board. The pieces moved in set ways, and the purpose of the game was to move your pieces to trap the King piece of the other player. As you have probably figured out, Sessa invented chess. His king was utterly delighted at the game - war without bloodshed! - and asked Sessa what he would like in return. In the ancient bombastic style, the King said the request could include up to half of his kingdom. (That was not meant literally.) Sessa asked for the game board to be brought before him.

If they win, they will all be let free, but if they lose the game, they will all be immediately executed. The hundred prisoners are allowed to enter this separate room with 100 boxes in any predetermined order they wish, but each can only enter the room once and the game ends as soon as the hundredth person enters the room. (At any time, only one prisoner is allowed to enter and remain in this room.) Once a prisoner enters the room, he is allowed to open and look inside as many as Xboxes, where X is a…arrow_forwardThe owner of a stereo store wants to advertise that he has many different sound systems in stock.
