Very nice, Jay!  (So far I keep losing to the smart computer.  Once upon
a time I had this game all figured out.  I will have to put on my
thinking cap again.)

I find the concept of programming a smart and dumb computer player
interesting.  Would you tell us how you went about creating a "dumb"
computer player?
