These are too easy now...
...but for more of a challenge: what is the minimum number of inferences required, and which are they?
To be clear: an "inference" is a square not forced by the rules at the time it is filled in, but would lead to a breaking of the rules later if filled in with the other symbol. The rules are: 1. 3 O's and 3 X's in every row and column; 2. not allowed a string of 3 O's or 3 X's in any row or column. Thus: X in C3 is not an inference, because O breaks the rules immediately.
