..^U:BRAINWARE.        CHIEF TOMAHAWK'S 
GAMES..          BY BARBARA SCHULAK..   
 PUZZLES COME IN MANY GUISES..MANY OF TH
E "MODERN" PUZZLES WE SEE.THESE DAYS WER
E ACTUALLY DEVISED.HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOU
SANDS OF YEARS.AGO.  SOME OF THE BEST OF
 THEM, LIKE.CHIEF TOMAHAWK'S GAMES, ARE 
NOW BEING.RE-WORKED FOR COMPUTER, WHICH 
I FEEL.IS THE MOST NATURAL MEDIUM FOR A.
PUZZLE.  WHY?..    A PUZZLE IN A NEWSPAP
ER WON'T GIVE.YOU THE ANSWER UNTIL THE N
EXT EDITION.COMES OUT.  A RIDDLER MAY OR
 MAY NOT.TELL YOU, DEPENDING UPON HIS NA
TURE.AND HOW CONVINCINGLY YOU THREATEN H
IM...    ON A COMPUTER, HOWEVER, A PUZZL
E'S.SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE TO THE PLAYER.
AT ANY TIME.  THE PLAYER IS FACED.WITH A
N INTERNAL STRUGGLE THAT ADDS.ANOTHER DI
MENSION TO HIS TASK..SHOULD HE WIMP OUT 
AND SEE THE.SOLUTION?  "NO ONE WOULD EVE
R KNOW,".HE TELLS HIMSELF, "EXCEPT ME.".
.    THESE ARE MY FAVORITE KINDS OF.DILE
MMAS, AND JUDGING BY THE RESPONSE.TO OUR
 REGULAR PUZZLE PAGE FEATURE,.THEY'RE YO
URS, TOO...    CHIEF TOMAHAWK'S GAMES AL
SO.ILLUSTRATES ANOTHER ASPECT OF.COMPUTE
RING -- TOTAL FREEDOM OF.STYLE...    THI
S GAME ORIGINATED IN SOME.MATHEMATICIAN'
S BRAIN WHILE HE WAS.WORKING WITH PERMUT
ATION THEORY.  HE.PROBABLY SAW IT IN THE
 DRY TERMS OF.MATHEMATICS, THE NTH SUBSE
T OF THE.DIFFERENTIAL FACTORIAL OR SOMET
HING..IT WAS EXPLAINED IN THE DOVER EDIT
ION.OF "MATHEMATICAL RECREATIONS" BY.MAU
RICE KRAITCHIK, IN TERMS OF PLAYING.CARD
S, COLORED RED AND BLACK...    MAURICE J
ONES SENT A QUICK AND.DIRTY VERSION OF T
HE PUZZLE TO.BARBARA SCHULAK AND SHE PLA
CED IT IN.ITS RUSTIC FORMAT, ADDING A LI
TTLE.INJUN MUSIC FOR AURAL FLAVOR.....  
  HENCE, CHIEF TOMAHAWK'S GAMES..I DON'T
 NEED TO EXPLAIN THE MECHANICS.OF THE PR
OGRAM -- EVERYTHING IS BUILT.INTO THE PR
OGRAM AND ITS BOOT.  ALL I.NEED TO SAY I
S THAT I SOLVED THE.FIRST TWO PUZZLES (T
HE EASIER ONES).AND THEN BECAME TOTALLY 
FRUSTRATED.WITH THE LAST TWO.  MAYBE I'L
L LOOK.AT THE SOLUTION ("WHO WILL EVER.K
NOW?")...    IF YOU SOLVE ALL FOUR RIGHT
 AWAY,.BE SMUG, BE CONTENTED, PRACTICE Y
OUR.GLOAT...JUST DON'T TELL ME ABOUT IT,
.OKAY?..        **** END OF TEXT ****.
