Estimated to have 7 × 2^200 states, X is considered a challenging test and an important
benchmark for various Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms.
Some of the earliest methods to “solve X” were :
Tsitsiklis & Van Roy (1996) used feature-based dynamic programming. They used two simple state
features: the number of holes, and the height of the highest column. They achieved a score of
around 30 lines cleared.
Bertsekas & Tsitsiklis (1996) added two sets of features: height of each column, and the difference in
height between consecutive columns. Using lambda-policy iteration, they achieved a score of
around 2,800 lines cleared.
Earlier this year, the first instance of a human “beating X” was recorded which took about 38

The genesis of X can be traced back to the linguistic landscape of French and its deeply
embedded connection with societal norms. The term X, derived from Old French meaning
"to stick/to attach", referred to certain lists that were stuck on the clothes of people who
would come to attend courtroom ceremonies. These lists outlined the dos and don’ts during
such events, laying the foundation for the contemporary meaning of X.
Derived from X, the English term Y underscores the significance of following rules during
ceremonies. This linguistic shift traces back to a historical practice where the French
displayed lists on their attire before court entry. Today, Y extends beyond courts,
emphasizing adherence to guidelines in various events, highlighting the importance of
following prescribed rules.
