  • The Story of Cluedo & Clue a “Contemporary” Game for Over 60 Years
    The story of Cluedo & Clue A “Contemporary” Game for over 60 Years by Bruce Whitehill The Metro, a free London newspaper, regularly carried a puzzle column called “Enigma.” In 2005, they ran this “What-game-am-I?” riddle: Here’s a game that’s lots of fun, Involving rope, a pipe, a gun, A spanner, knife and candlestick. Accuse a friend and make it stick. The answer was the name of a game that, considering the puzzle’s inclusion in a well- known newspaper, was still very much a part of British popular culture after more than 50 years: “Cluedo,” first published in 1949 in the UK. The game was also published under license to Parker Brothers in the United States the same year, 1949. There it is was known as: Clue What’s in a name? • Cluedo = Clue + Ludo" Ludo is a classic British game -- " a simplified Game of India • Ludo is not played in the U.S. " Instead, Americans play Parcheesi." But “Cluecheesi” doesn’t quite work." So we just stuck with “Clue” I grew up (in New York) playing Clue, and like most other Americans, considered it to be one of America’s classic games. Only decades later did I learn its origin was across the ocean, in Great Britain. Let me take you back to England, 1944. With the Blitz -- the bombing -- and the country emersed in a world war, the people were subject to many hardships, including blackouts and rationing. A forty-one-year-old factory worker in Birmingham was disheartened because the blackouts and the crimp on social activities in England meant he was unable to play his favorite parlor game, called “Murder.” “Murder” was a live-action party game where guests tried to uncover the person in the room who had been secretly assigned the role of murderer.

  • Standardized Field Sobriety Testing
    This Page Left Intentionally Blank Instructor Guide DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety (SFST) Testing Sobriety Refresher October 2015 Save lives, prevent injuries, reduce vehicle-related crashes This Page Left Intentionally Blank Preface The Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) training curriculum collectively prepares police officers and other qualified persons to conduct the SFST’s for use in DWI investigations. This training, developed under the auspices and direction of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), has experienced remarkable success since its inception in the early 1980s. As in any educational training program, an instruction manual or guide is considered a “living document” that is subject to updates and changes based on advances in technology and science. A thorough review is made of information by the IACP Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) of the Highway Safety Committee of the IACP with contributions from many sources in health care science, toxicology, jurisprudence, and law enforcement. Based on this information, any appropriate revisions and modifications in background theory, facts, examination and decision making methods are made to improve the quality of the instruction as well as the standardization of guidelines for the implementation of the SFST curriculum. The reorganized manuals are then prepared and disseminated, both domestically and internationally, to the states. Changes will normally take effect 90 days after approval by the TAP, unless otherwise specified or when so designated. The procedures outlined in this manual describe how the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) are to be administered under ideal conditions. We recognize that the SFST’s will not always be administered under ideal conditions in the field, because such conditions do not always exist.

  • Mixed Logical and Probabilistic Reasoning in the Game of Clue
    406 ICGA Journal 40 (2018) 406–416 DOI 10.3233/ICG-180063 IOS Press Mixed logical and probabilistic reasoning in the game of Clue Todd W. Neller ∗ and Ziqian Luo Department of Computer Science, Gettysburg College, PA, USA Abstract. We describe a means of mixed logical and probabilistic reasoning with knowledge in the popular game Clue. Using pseudo-Boolean constraints we call at-least constraints, we more efficiently represent cardinality constraints on Clue card deal knowledge, perform more general constraint satisfaction in order to determine places where cards provably are or are not, and then employ a WalkSAT-based solution sampling algorithm with a tabu search metaheuristic in order to estimate the probabilities of unknown card places. Finding a tradeoff between WalkSAT-heuristic efficiency in finding solution samples and the sampling bias such a heuristic introduces, we empirically study algorithmic variations in order to learn how such sampling error may be reduced. Keywords: Clue, Cluedo, at-least constraints, cardinality constraints, extended clauses, sampling, logical reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, WalkSAT, tabu search 1. INTRODUCTION Clue®1 is a mystery-themed game of deduction (Fig. 1). The goal of the game is to be the first player to correctly name the contents of a case file: the murder suspect, the weapon used, and the room the murder took place in. There are 6 possible suspects, 6 possible weapons, and 9 possible rooms, each of which are pictured on a card. One card of each type is chosen randomly and placed in a “case file” envelope without being revealed to any player. All other cards are dealt out face-down to the players.
