^ flawed logic

Seriously, for all three, there is only one correct choice.

I'm expecting at least one of the three to try some gambit, though.

Quilford · Post Post #102 (ISO) » Sun Oct 16, 2011 10:10 pm

No. I dutifully submitted 147 coins: that's a guaranteed win.

JDGA · Post Post #103 (ISO) » Sun Oct 16, 2011 10:16 pm

Is it?
Last I heard, ravel can submit 146 for a much closer finale ^_^

Quilford · Post Post #104 (ISO) » Sun Oct 16, 2011 10:20 pm

It's still a guaranteed win.

izakthegoomba · Post Post #105 (ISO) » Sun Oct 16, 2011 10:51 pm

Quilford just has to not be a moron and he'll win. It's the other two that could be interesting.

Oh I misread quilford's number by 10. Yeah okay, guaranteed win.

Here's how it's gonna work. Ravel and Quilford both are trying to complete a goal. Whoever accomplishes their goal is our winner!

Ravel's GoalWin 3 boxes with a gold bar in them.

Quilford's GoalStop Ravel from winning 3 boxes with a gold bar in them.

The Challenge:

Before you lie 7 boxes (box1, box2, box3, ect.). In 5 of these boxes lie a gold bar. 2 of them have absolutely nothing in them. Which have which will be randomly determined by a die roll after players have submitted. Whoever accomplishes their goal wins!

You must put coins toward a box when you PM, as such:

#1-200
#2-20
#3-31
ect.

48 hours!

Good Luck!

Wow, this will be interesting...

Quilford · Post Post #110 (ISO) » Wed Oct 19, 2011 8:53 am

Ugh, that's annoying.

I thought the gimmick challenges stopped a while ago.

Is this some series of games?

diginova · Post Post #112 (ISO) » Wed Oct 19, 2011 9:47 am

301 would make a lock game; you could put 43 in every box, and Ravel could only exceed that in two boxes.
He'll still have to get lucky and you'll still probably win, Quilford... you could put 39 in each and Ravel can only win 3 boxes total, and the odds of picking all three are 28%.

If it occurred the way it *normally* did (5 boxes, you have to win 3 or prevent winning 3), it would be a guaranteed lock for Quilford.

Actually, I've never done two games finales the same.

That's because the flavor is different. I've had this scenario before and won.

Results!

Spoiler: Box #1

Ratings have been updated.

izakthegoomba · Post Post #123 (ISO) » Fri Oct 21, 2011 5:45 am

So I lose rating for making a dumb mistake?

What do the ratings mean, anyway?

I just started keeping track of them in games I've been hosting. It's just a sort of extra encouragement to try to do better and it also shows who has performed well in mish-mash games.

I have an idea for another coin game if anyone would be interested in another one? If not, then I plan on developing this other game I've had an idea for.
