Then there is Devin Hester for the Bears 2006-2013. He was a kick return specialist. Every time he touched the ball it was electrifying as he returned for a touchdown! w/ some regularity. He somehow read the field. I often wondered if that was a solvable mathematics problem.

Wow, Devin Hester, forgot about that guy. Mr Highlights.
I think almost everything can described mathematically. As to solvable as a mathematics I cannot say. Apparently this guy could somehow do it dynamically on a regular basis. So yes, probably some sort least restrictive path solution.

Great Idea! Why not throw AI at it. If no-one is doing so now I will be surprised it will not be done in near future.

Coaches would take serious especially if it actually worked. Then some sort of counter AI system would kick in. AI vs AI, the fight of the century.

Since when do two national league teams play in the world series?

A family member, let's call him Bob, uses Skype on a Ubuntu laptop I set up, to communicate daily with a friend, let's call her Alice, a user of small iDevices who is several timezones and a hemisphere away. This has worked pretty well for a decade or so, mostly interrupted by Alice's propensity for breaking her toys. Recently there was a hiatus of a few weeks, where Alice couldn't get into her Skype account. She set up a new one in her real name a couple of days ago and they reconnected.
Now here's the really weird bit:
In Alice's Skype chat/contacts, Bob appears as (redacted, let's call it Eve), a name neither of them has ever heard of.
In Bob's chat/contacts, Alice appears as the same Eve.
What. the. elephant? ? ?

Skype support is really helpful. I've had issues in the past, and they have responded within 24 hours. Please ask your family members to log a support request there.

Considering the fact that tens of millions of mobile devices run on the Android operating system, there is no doubt that Android is a major operating system. Traditionally the majority of applications for the Android system were developed using Java. However, now Google seems determined to gradually move developers away from Java and to Kotlin. Case in point: It seems that new enhancements for the Android system, only apply to applications written in Kotlin. They are not available if you work in Java.
A major enhancement was the new Jetpack Compose feature that is only available for Kotlin, not Java. Jetpack Compose is a new way to develop user intefaces that requires no XML code, and is supposed to be a lot easier to work with. Kotlin is also available for other operating systems, like Windows and Linux. So you can write Kotlin code for Windows desktops, for example. (I would recommend that you learn Kotlin, before tackling Jetpack compose.) See here:
https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-mpp/[^]
If you are interested in learning Jetpack Compose, there is this excellent book available on Amazon as a Kindle download: (Make sure you get version 1.2 of the book, not the older version that is now outdated, but still being pushed by Amazon.)
