In the future, we intend to improve the game strategies in two ways.First, we plan to change the rules so that, when there is no legal move by one player,the other player has to move within five minutes. Second, in spring 2005, the referenceplayer for qualification selected a legal move randomly. All teams successfully defeated thereference player and entered the final competition. We plan to improve the intelligence inthe qualification process. If this player is more intelligent, the students will have to improvetheir strategy in order to qualify for the competition.

For 17 of the participants this goal was achieved: they planned to drop out of the program after participating. This result is very important for the students and the faculty because an early decision is advantageous to both sides: the students do not lose any valuable time and the faculty saves resources.Generally spoken the majority of the course objectives listed above were

The MEOI construction method begins with measuring out, on the surfaceof the rock, the plan dimensions which the 12 meter x 12 meter church and the 25-meter squaretrench that surrounds the church. Once the measurements were taken, the soft volcanic tufa couldbe carefully marked or scored such that the outline of the trench and the church were clearlydelineated.
