Hollywood Tic-Tac-Toe [>]
I lost spectacularly. My brother Graham won heroically. It wasn't
meant to be that way.
The grid occupies an area of 23.5 sq. miles, it began by driving east along Santa Monica Boulevard. We then traveled straight past this and that, through famous areas with well known place names and clouds of gossip, all with lots of stories attached.
We flipped a coin and Graham started with an X at the top left
near the 101 Freeway.
Each move was plotted on a map as we drove, and we traveled around each shape
in the same order.
Special effort was taken to cruise along Sunset Boulevard to mark
a victory line across the row of winning X’s.
GAME OVER after 52 miles of driving.
The full un-edited drawing includes the entrance and exits roads
for the game, and where we looked for lunch and refueled the car.
It took over 4 and a half hours from starting to define the grid
to finishing the victory line.
