Please write up your solution to Poison. A write-up is a detailed solution to an assigned exploration. Write-ups should be readable independently of any worksheet on which they are based, in good English, be in paragraph form, and either legibly handwritten in ink or word-processed.

The paper should address the following components:

• A concise statement of the strategy of the game for all the scenarios identified in class. The scenarios should be generalized so that someone could apply your overall strategy with any number of starting counters.
• An explanation of why your strategy will win the game. Analyze the importance of all components of your strategy for all scenarios.
• An application to a game of Poison that starts with 431 counters.

Reviewing the "Tips for Write-ups" document in the Getting Started Module can help you prepare for writing this type of paper. The following checklist is adapted from this document. Does your paper...

1. communicate to the reader what the activity was about and what was the problem to be solved?
2. state your answer in a complete sentence which stands on its own?
3. provide a paragraph that discusses how the group (or you) approached the problem?
4. define variables used (if they are used) and terminology that the reader might not understand?
5. state any assumptions you made (if applicable)?
6. clearly label any pictures, diagrams, or other visual represenations?
7. give a precise and well-organized explanation of how your solution was found?
8. give acknowledgment where it is due?
9. use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation?
10. make sure any "math" is done correctly?
11. answer the question that was originally asked?
