I am going to investigate how many winning lines there are in a 7x9 grid. The following diagrams show how many winning lines there are in the grid, with each coloured line representing 1 winning line. There are 24 winning horizontal winning lines as shown in the diagram opposite. There are 21 vertical winning lines in a 7x6 grid as shown opposite. There are 24 diagonal winning lines in a 7x6 grid. As diagonal lines go both ways I multiplied the number of lines shown by 2 in order to achieve the correct result. I felt this was the easiest method to use as to draw 2 sets of lines on one grid would be very confusing, and to draw 2 grids would have been very time consuming. I am now going to investigate if there are patterns of winning lines within grids. In order to work systematically I am going to begin my investigation...
