 		Tic-Tac-Toe Poker Variant
This poker variant involves a 3x3 matrix, but each player has 2 hole cards.

 		Do you... Tanqueray?



I told you getting a beer would help. Smile

Now, how does that help?

Ah, I don't know the game, but how about GIN?

 		There is a gin poker game... doesn't seem relevant to the layout though.

 		OK. In the game gin eachh player is dealt 10 cards. if we add 3 cards from the grid into the circle of cards(i'm assuming in this case the rest of a "hand") we can create a "Gin" which is all cards down with no "deadwood".

we can create:

a set using the 2's
2D, 2S from te hand with 2C from he grid (A3)

a run using te diamonds
4D, 5D from the hand with 6D from the grid (B1)

a run using theh clubs:
7C, 9C, 10C from the hand with the 8C from the grid (C2)

tha would leave no cards remaining and a full 10 card hand

Reference Wikipedia

 		By Jove I think you got it.

A3 B1 C2

EDIT: You can also make melds out of all the cards leaving the Ace

2D 2S 2C
4D 5D 6D 7D
6C 7C 8C 9C 10C
5H 6H 7H

As in "CAN" asta

Good solve. So,

Simplicity=72 (we hope)
Clarity=A3 B1 C2 (or CANasta)
Clomplexity= ??? (H&F=? Escher)
Identity=Headaches and glazed expressions

 		jus found something interesting while looking for inifo on "Identity"

Someone mentioned that the equations were the "Navier-Stokes Equations" so to confirm i checked out the wikipedia aticle here

If you check out the links at the botom they lead to :

The Millenium Prize

still working through this, but the quote on the right hand page is from an episode of the tv show "Millenium"...

EDIT:i'm now wondering if the answer for identity should BE "The Millenium Prize" and that the quote is just a confirmaton

 		Woohoo! As long as that is the only way to get gin I'd say that is it. *raises beer to salute while attempting to type on phone

this leaves ONLY the ace of clubs in the grid yes?...if so...i think that B2 could be the solve...the rest of the picture hints at card games, and at first the AC seems too obvious(as it appears in ttheh dogs playing poker"...although if you add in the process of melds from gin and then move to melds in CANasta...it would CONFIRM the AC....

 		Could Complexity be 'E' or Energy???
F (force is a measure of energy)
The pics are 'MC squared' (groan)
H?

And the ace is all visible in "Dogs..." The elegant solution...
But I also think it might be wrong because that's also the only card visible in dogs and seems to simple. Definitely a possible... add it to the list.

with that in mind, and the fact that the images are showing 2 of people walking and 2 of hands....could the solve be "Hands & Feet"??

h could be Planck's constant. E=HF where f is frequency. Four pics makes an MC square.
