Three weeks ago, I was at a science fair demonstrating a genetic algorithm that would create AIs for two-player boardgames, and included a test case with tic-tac-toe.

Guys from the IEEE talked to me at length, loved it, and gave me their grand prize. Two judges (both Lisp hackers (and both thrilled to see an 18-year old doing AI with CL)) also loved it...but the other judges did not understand it at all, so I didn't even place at the actual fair. Sigh.
