Adam Gillard I think I'm going to start picking 2 large. Only 15 out of 158474 haven't yielded 7 points or more (not that 1 large is far behind). | |
Charlie Reams If you account for the difficulty of the games then 1 large is by far the best; see http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3375&p=77009 | |
Chris Butler Is there any chance of adding an extra column showing the likely hood of a 200 max & the average max in number attacks? (or do I have to file a 'ticket'?) Cheers | |
Chris Butler Actually i've just worked the chances of 200 max out (going off the figures listed here): (Exact/Total)^20: 6S:- 3%, 1L:- 64%, 2L:- 69%, 3L:- 34%, 4L:-15% | |
Chris Butler Can someone explain how the 'total' is worked out? In the case of 4L, I work out the number of different 'instances' to be 90000 not 127312 (10*10*900)??? | |

Chris Butler Sorry make that 49500 even (there are 55 different combinations of the 2 small and 900 possible targets)
| |
Adam Gillard The figures under 'Total' and every second column after that simply refer to the number of rounds that have been played that meet the criteria. | |
Charlie Reams 1) Yes. There's a "request feature" link on the front page.

Chris Butler Ahh okay thanks, I guess the maths would be albeit impossible to calculate theoretical percentages so I'll let it drop! | |
Charlie Reams For the standard game it's not that hard, see http://www.crosswordtools.com/numbers-game/faq.php#stats . But for some of the variants on here it would be basically impossible, there are vastly too many. |
