Domino's Commerical with Go

This is the video everyone on KGS and Go sites have been talking about. A Domino's Go Commercial with an actor as Rick Rosner, and even a familiar scene from A Beautiful Mind where he wipes the board. Have fun....

Anyone else notice that this game is horrible? Looks like they just placed stones around the board lol, not really a game at all. xD!

@clossius In this video they did randomly place their stones on the board. An actual game would look somewhat meaningful even if you didn't understand the significance of each stone's position upon the board.

IGS FTW!

Haha, this is no argument about which server you want to use. It is just cool that so many people are interested in go. I did, however, delete many posts that posed violent claims towards KGS.

@bill0756 Langan is not regarded to have the highest IQ. The first time he took the Mega test he scored 42 or an equivalent IQ of 170. There are smarter people such as Tao who won the field medal for his work in four areas of math. Perelman solved the Poincaré Conjecture. Witten was quoted by the New York times as the smartest man in the world. Chomsky was also quoted as such. There is lots of fuss about IQ tests but genius ought to be measured by ones ability to solve real problems.

isnt it Rosner, not Rossner?

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch exclusively to mathematics and not to understanding ALL of reality. Chris' CTMU is far more ambitious than solving any math problem as it tries to understand the ultimate nature of reality, the answer to that old philosophical question of why is there something rather than nothing. People who question Langan's intelligence are just jealous. Weinberg, Nobelist in physics, says that Langan is the smartest man he ever met in his life. And Langan's IQ is not 170 but 195, the record...

[PCoderch]

@PCoderch of math knowledge that Perelman and Tao have and dedicated himself only to math instead of being a plymath, he would have been able to solve the Poincare Conjecture even faster than Perelman did. Also, mathematics like everything else involves creativity, which is not measured by IQ tests which only measure your ability to think logically. In the case of math, though, logic is more important than creativity, so Langan would be the World's greatest mathematician if he dedicated himself

[PCoderch]

@almowak2 You are confusing intelligence with genius, which are different things. Tao and especially Perelman are true geniuses, something Chris is not, but they do not have an IQ(intelligence) on the level of Langan's. They won the Field's medal because they have tons of math knowledge and worked very hard for many years on a few math problems. However, Langan can deal with an even higher level of complexity and solve even harder problems if he dedicated himself to it. If Langan had the amount

@ShannaPondanna mines 146. suck it.

@www1530 If the kid were a professional, he could replay the game in the exact same order as before. I've often regarded such an ability as superhuman, but then again it is no different from remembering a piece of music or a story. Or even the arrangement of LEGO blocks in a sculpture.

Well, I found the commercial rather odd, to say the least. Better than complete obscurity, I guess.

[hananokuni2580]

IMHO Go is about pattern more than it is about intelligence. I often wonder why in the US this game is often presented as a pastime for intellectuals rather than as a game that can be learned and mastered just like any other. Certain patterns of action in, say,  basketball or hockey are conducive to success therein and so are practiced over and over. The same can be said of Go.

I often find parallels between a game of Go and the progression of an ecosystem from bare ground to mature forest.

im in fifth going to fourth while my iq is tested to be 130 O.O

[usernameshortage]

Subway, dominoes, same trash food. At least the guy was smart enough to take the advertisement money :)

[ikadir18]

Love rosner. Except subway is about healthy eating they dont claim to be the best tasting
