Both surgeons are bad it seems. Assuming X went first and played in the middle (the most optimal and common move), He could have won a turn early because O would have had to miss a block on O’s previous turn.

Edit: The only case where this isn’t true is if X’s most recent move was the X in the center which would mean that the center was open for every previous turn. That still doesn’t bode well for either of their abilities.

Now the worm has two ships but they can choose to double it and give it to the next person.

I know it’s anecdotal and perhaps can’t be blamed entirely on this medication, but I’ve been taking singulair since I was 12 and I dropped out of school at 17 with a 3.8+ gpa. I did three psych holds and two years of therapy and I didn’t feel better until a few years ago at age 26, which was when I was booted off my parent’s insurance and no longer able to get my prescription singulair.

I did get a high school equivalent degree and an associates degree in my early 20s, but even then it was very difficult for me to hold a job with how often I would burn out and suffer extended depressive episodes. I’m doing better now, but it was definitely a major set back socially and career-wise.
