## tic-tac-toe n-dimensional [closed]

What is the number of lines that pass through the center of an n-dimensional tic-tac-toe grid?

This question is at too low a level for MO (which is intended for research level questions) and poorly stated (what lines are you talking about? Infinitely many lines pass through every point in n-space...). See the FAQ for a list of places to ask elementary questions. I've voted to close. – Andy Putman Aug 21 2010 at 19:18
I planned to post it in math.statexchange.com, but my account was inoperable for 5 hours since I joined. I posted a query here regarding that (since I could not even access meta) and it was promptly deleted. See here: meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/697/… – unknown (google) Aug 21 2010 at 20:24

The squares tic tac toe grid can be represented with $(x^1,x^2,...,x^n)$ where each can be 0, 1 or 2.
A line passing through the center can be identified Given any coordinate except $(0,0,...,0)$.
There are $3^n-1$ possible coordinates to start a line from.
