Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space The dice odds were pretty straight forward, but those cards odds are definitely tricky.  To be honest, I didn't figure out how to work it out mathematically... I just simulated it instead.I threw together a little program that underwent the whole process

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space So now that you gave the answer, can you explain how you get the card titan's odds? I didn't vote because I couldn't figure it out. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=317501#p317501

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space Well it has been a few days so I should wrap this riddle up.  80% (16 people) sided with the dice titan, and they were correct.  Well done!The dice titan's odds of winning are 12.5%The card titan's odds of winning are about 12.21%, so very very close, but he

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space Titan of cards clearly wins, while I think his odds are rather worse over all, he does have the power of paper cuts as a last resort where as the four sided   die has only soft plastic corners and the six sided one will do no good at all. so, when they get

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space So far the votes are leaning pretty far in one direction.  I'm not sure if people have been able to work out the odds for each titan, or if people are relying on their gut feelings and intuition.  In either case I'm just happy to see 14 people have bothered

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space Oh ok, I just wanted to make sure that titan 2 rolling two 1's meant it didn't lose the entire game. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=317264#p317264 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space Reading back I can see how I should have perhaps worded things a bit differently to avoid confusion.Titan 1 draws 3 cards and sees if he won, meaning 2 of his cards' values add up to equal the remaining card.  If he happens to have won, he keeps track of his

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space Something about the phrasing: "The second titan must roll both dice.  If either dice is a 1, the titan loses the round instantly."How is a round defined? Is it defined to be the set of one turn from both titans? or the whole 100 or more sets?

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space Jase, it is 3 standard 52-card decks combined into a single 156-card one.  The new combined deck would contain 3 of every card.  Since the suit of each card doesn't really matter, that could be ignored and the deck would contain 12 of every number

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space The card titan wins, you can't roll dice in space.Although, you could I suppose rig the dice as the dice titan. If they are trying to be fair, then I think the card titan wins. If not, the dice titan would win each time. Then again if they were truly fair

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space Wait, if titan 1 has 3 decks, and makes one deck of 52 cards, then, is this a standard deck of 52, or is there a possibility of duplicates? URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=317250#p317250

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space .(I recommend voting before reading replies ) Ehehehaa, tricky. The real trick is how the Titan of Cards's chances change, while the Titan of Dice's stay the same. It would seem that, in every round of 52, the Titan of Cards has better odds for the first 12

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space Jase, titan 1 draws 3 cards each time, so after 52 plays he will have no cards left.You are correct... they don't have to win all those wins in a row.  Just a total. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=317248#p317248

Re: 2 Titans floating in space

Re: 2 Titans floating in space Great. Now I have to math. Thanks aprone. LOL!!! Okay, the titan 2 has the easiest solution. A simple sample space will tell us that titan's odds of winning once. Now, to be clear, titan 1 has 156 cards, but as it draws, the number of cards will go down until
