Nabeelah from Langley Grammar School commented that:
Philippa from Ashcroft Academy worked
out that Earl had the most suspicious results:
I think Earl is the cheat because his heads and tails are pretty
much equal as if he tried too hard to simulate the random pattern
of a coin.
Another way of telling that Earl is the most likely cheat is to notice that he has no strings of repeated results of length of 5 or more, and when you realise that there are 95 strings of 6 consecutive results (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th - 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th - 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th...) you may find it suspicious that long strings of repeated results do not appear at all.
All you need for this game is a pack of cards. While you play the game, think about strategies that will increase your chances of winning.
This is a game for two players. Does it matter where the target is put? Is there a good strategy for winning?
Can you beat Piggy in this simple dice game? Can you figure out Piggy's strategy, and is there a better one?
