	The Man Who Wrote 10,000 Grooks

		Of the Cube, Hein wrote, “It is a beautiful freak of nature that the seven simplest irregular combinations of cubes can form a cube again.

		Hex was invented independently; in 1942 by Piet Hein in Denmark, where it was called "Polygon" and in 1948 by John Nash in the United States, where it was called "Nash." In 1952 the United States company Parker Brothers marked a commercial version of the game as "Hex."
		A description of Nash's version of the game can be found in the book "The Essential John Nash." Roger Penrose has published many technical and popular books.
		His most recent is "The Road to Reality : A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe." Piet Hein wrote many short poems, which he called "Grooks." Here is an appropriate example for the student trying to find a winning strategy for PenHex:

	[minstrels] On Problems -- Piet Hein
		It would be hard to say what the most significant of Hein's many accomplishments was, but high among them is surely the invention and perfection of the grook.
		Pithy, perceptive, varying from the gently quirky to the funny, and with a deceptively simple style that hides their richly multifaceted nature while robbing it of none of its impact - the average grook reads like something between a nursery rhyme and a proverb, and like them, is absolutely distinctive.
		Links: Here's an excellent biography: http://www.powerweb.net/playandlive/piethein.htm Particularly nice to find was Hein's quote on his invention of the superellipse - "Man is the animal that draws lines which he himself then stumbles over." A rare insight into the genesis of a grook - compare this quote with the polished verse form above.
