* The lead-up to this moment is pretty awesome in itself. David and Falken know that Joshua was programmed to "learn how to learn" -- in other words, to be able to make leaps in logic. They both [[AwesomenessByAnalysis realize that]] Joshua will hopefully figure out that if he plays one "unwinnable" game, i.e. tic-tac-toe, then another game, like Global Thermonuclear War, might also be unwinnable. So they get Joshua to play himself at tic-tac-toe and stand back and hope for the best. The next five minutes are really nothing but everyone in the war room watching Joshua play tic-tac-toe on the main screen, and then playing countless scenarios of Global Thermonuclear War. It's an impressive achievement in film: turning a computer's thoughts into a heart-pounding light show. And ''it works perfectly!''
