i don't think many. Well how many of you know that Iocaine Powder is a very deadly poison. I went on the internet to find out exactly what it was because I had encountered it as a cheat in Warcraft 3 (iocainepowder - Faster death and decay). But it is also the winning entry in the first RoShamBo Programming Competition which is a competition that pits computers at the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. It's kinda wierd really. It's a little like "Pukkam-Pukkai" which I can't find a definition of on the Net so I'll write my own some day. But the game playing program's job is to basically see a pattern in the way the competitor is selecting it's choice and then outguess it. While the other side is trying to do the same. Pretty cool really.
