3 The Game of SET

4 Brief Introduction to the Game of SET SET Cards: 81 cards 4 attributes: Color Number Symbol Shading 3 possibilities for each attribute: Red, Green, Purple 1, 2, 3 Diamond, Oval, Squiggle Solid, Open, Striped 4

5 Brief Introduction to the Game of SET A SET is defined as three cards such that each attribute is either the same or different on the three cards. 5

6 Brief Introduction to the Game of SET A SET is defined as three cards such that each attribute is either the same or different on the three cards. For example: 5

7 Brief Introduction to the Game of SET A SET is defined as three cards such that each attribute is either the same or different on the three cards. For example: and 5

8 Incidence Geometry and the Game of SET Incidence Geometry: Undefined terms: point, line, incidence Axiom 1: For every pair of distinct points P and Q there exists a unique line incident with P and Q. Axiom 2: For every line l there exist at least two distinct points that are incident with l. Axiom 3: There exist three distinct points such that no line is incident with all three of them. 6

9 Incidence Geometry and the Game of SET Incidence Geometry: Undefined terms: point, line, incidence Axiom 1: For every pair of distinct points P and Q there exists a unique line incident with P and Q. Axiom 2: For every line l there exist at least two distinct points that are incident with l. Axiom 3: There exist three distinct points such that no line is incident with all three of them. A model of incidence geometry is an interpretation of the undefined terms that satisfies the axioms. 6

10 Incidence Geometry and the Game of SET Incidence Geometry: Undefined terms: point, line, incidence Axiom 1: For every pair of distinct points P and Q there exists a unique line incident with P and Q. Axiom 2: For every line l there exist at least two distinct points that are incident with l. Axiom 3: There exist three distinct points such that no line is incident with all three of them. A model of incidence geometry is an interpretation of the undefined terms that satisfies the axioms. SET is a model of incidence geometry: Points Cards Lines SETs Incidence A card is incident with a SET if it is contained in that SET. 6

19 Incidence Geometry and the Game of SET We can use the game of SET to learn about incidence geometry in general: We cannot prove in incidence geometry that a line is incident with more than three points. We can use results from incidence geometry to learn about the game of SET: 8

20 Incidence Geometry and the Game of SET We can use the game of SET to learn about incidence geometry in general: We cannot prove in incidence geometry that a line is incident with more than three points. We can use results from incidence geometry to learn about the game of SET: Result in incidence geometry: For every point, there exist at least two distinct lines incident with it. 8

21 Incidence Geometry and the Game of SET We can use the game of SET to learn about incidence geometry in general: We cannot prove in incidence geometry that a line is incident with more than three points. We can use results from incidence geometry to learn about the game of SET: Result in incidence geometry: For every point, there exist at least two distinct lines incident with it. Corresponding result in SET: For every card, there exist at least two distinct SETs that contain it. 8
