A final two chapters provide brief hints and more detailed solutions to the puzzles, [2] with the solutions forming the majority of pages of the book. [3] Some of the puzzles are well known classics, some are variations of known puzzles making them more algorithmic, and some are new. [4] They include:
Vacuum World, a shortest path problem in which the goal is to vacuum up all the pieces of dirt. In scientific disciplines, a toy problem [1] [2] or a puzzlelike problem [3] is a problem that is not of immediate scientific interest, yet is used as an expository device to illustrate a trait that may be shared by other, more complicated, instances of the problem, or as a way to explain a ...
General game playing (GGP) is the design of artificial intelligence programs to be able to play more than one game successfully. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] For many games like chess, computers are programmed to play these games using a specially designed algorithm, which cannot be transferred to another context.
Game playing was an area of research in AI from its inception. One of the first examples of AI is the computerized game of Nim made in 1951 and published in 1952. Despite being advanced technology in the year it was made, 20 years before Pong, the game took the form of a relatively small box and was able to regularly win games even against highly skilled players of the game.

Professional Go players see the game as requiring intuition, creative and strategic thinking. [1] [2] It has long been considered a difficult challenge in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and is considerably more difficult to solve than chess. [3] Many in the field considered Go to require more elements that mimic human thought than ...
Chess is a turn-based strategy game that is considered a difficult AI problem due to the computational complexity of its board space. Similar strategy games are often solved with some form of a Minimax Tree Search. These types of AI agents have been known to beat professional human players, such as the historic 1997 Deep Blue versus Garry ...
The algorithm (and therefore the program code) is simpler than other algorithms, especially compared to strong algorithms that ensure a solution to the most difficult puzzles. The disadvantage of this method is that the solving time may be slow compared to algorithms modeled after deductive methods.
Michie and his artificial intelligence team called MENACE's algorithm "Boxes", [7] after the apparatus used for the machine. The first stage "Boxes" operated in five phases, each setting a definition and a precedent for the rules of the algorithm in relation to the game.
