Does anyone know where Marc Paulhus is now?
His email address at Calgary bounces.
Arturo Magidin just pointed out to me that in the new
release of Winning Ways Vol 4 (on p.892), they claim
that Marc found a non-terminating game of Beggar-
Your-Neighbor. But they don't cite or present the hand.
WW also says, though, that Marc says that one out of
150,000 hands will not terminate, and I find that hard to
believe -- I wrote a computer program (some ten years
ago) that plays random deals, and it's played hundreds
of billions of hands without finding one that cycles.
So I'm hoping to find out what the story really is...
