What I had in mind is that there are 2^9 = 512 different ways of putting X and O on a tic tac toe board. Many of these are not possible outcomes of a game, so I figured

As a nod to a memorable LLD Season 5 tangent I will make my prediction in hexadecimal: 2AF3 seconds (ps-I have no idea what I'm talking about) For those of you who prefer your decimals with no "hex": Let's see: A = 10, and F = 15, so 2AF3 = 3 + 15*16 + 10*16^2 + 2*16^3 = 10995 seconds = 183.25 minu...
