  Hex (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hex is a board game played on a hexagonal grid, usually in the shape of a 10 by 10 or an 11 by 11 rhombus.
An important consequence of the determinacy of hex is the Brouwer fixed-point theorem which was shown by David Gale.
Y and Havannah are considered by some to be generalizations of Hex; they differ primarily in requiring players to connect three or more edges of a polygonal board, rather than two selected edges of a parallelogram.

 Hexadecimal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics and computer science, base-16, hexadecimal, or simply hex, is a numeral system with a radix or base of 16 usually written using the symbols 0–9 and A–F or a–f.
Some assemblers indicate hex by an appended "h" (if the numeral starts with a letter, then also with a preceding 0, to indicate that it is a number), e.g., "0A3Ch", "5A3h".
They use hexadecimal notation (hex triplets) to specify colours on web pages; there is just the # symbol, not a separate symbol for "hexadecimal".

Hex puzzles relevant to the topics covered are included at the end of each instalment.
Hex is an abstract board game that has fascinated mathematicians with its beauty and surprising difficulty since it was first invented over half a century ago.
Hex has excellent clarity: each piece is of uniform strength, the board is uniformly distributed, the goals of the game are well defined, and it's often possible to plan a dozen or more moves ahead with reasonable certainty.

 MazeWorks - About Hex
Hex is a two-player board game, played on a diamond-shaped board made of hexagons.
The object of the game is for each player to create an unbroken chain of their own pieces, which connects their two edges of the board.
Hex was created in 1942 by the Danish inventor Piet Hein, and independently by the American mathematician John Nash in 1948.

At its simplest, hex numbers are base 16 (decimal is base 10).
Another way to explain hex is, each column in a hex number represents a power of 16.

 Hex   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)

Hex D8 is connected to the south edge (clearly), and one move away from being connected to the north edge in two different ways.
Note that H is connected from the left almost all the way across, but was one hex shy of having a valid 3-template on the right side with hex G7, prior to V moving to I6.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Jonah Hex
A month after his first series ended, the company launched Hex, in which he was suddenly transported to the middle of the 21st century, and was required to use his 19th century gunfighting capabilities against mutants, monsters and high-tech villains.
Hex's death story, which appeared in a special (written by Fleischer) even while his first series was running, was among the less predictable in comics.
The showman stuffed Hex, dressed him up in a white-hatted ensemble far fancier than he'd ever worn in life, posed him with a gun in his hand, and went from town to town, exhibiting him as an old-time western gunfighter.

 Hexadecimal Number System
The typical method to convert from decimal to hex is repeated division by 16.
When performing the division, the remainders which will represent the hex equivalent of the decimal number are written beginning at the least significant digit (right) and each new digit is written to the next more significant digit (the left) of the previous digit.
When you use hex numbers in an 8085 program, the Assembler usually requires the most significant hex digit to be 0 even if this number of digits exceed the size of the register.

 Hex Protein Docking
Hex was written by Dave Ritchie at the University of Aberdeen.
The graphical nature of Hex came about largely because I wanted to visualise the results of such docking calculations in a natural and seamless way, without having to export unmanageably many (and usually quite big) coordinate files to one of the many existing molecular graphics packages.
Since the summer of 2001, Hex has taken part in all of the blind prediction rounds of CAPRI, in which the task was to predict the structures of protein complexes whose structures were in the process of being solved by X-ray crystallography.

 AfterEllen.com - Hex's Dead Lesbian Supplies Humor, Heart
Set in a gothic boarding school in England, Hex (airing Sunday nights on Sky One) is a raw and edgy drama that centers on Cassie (Christina Cole), a shy girl who has recently and unexpectedly gained supernatural powers, and her best friend Thelma (Jemima Rooper), a witty lesbian.
The promos leading up to Hex's debut heavily touted the love triangle between Cassie, Thelma, and Troy, leaving many lesbian and bisexual viewers disconcerted, since this is not a formula that often leaves the lesbian triumphant (as we saw most recently in the relationship between Nan and Kitty in Sarah Waters's Tipping the Velvet).
Overall, however, Hex is refreshing and encouraging: it not only has an unconventional lesbian character who challenges stereotypes and to whom viewers can easily relate, but she was given a majority of the pilot's screen time.
