An interesting article I found while researching was called Odds on: the maths behind game shows. This article discusses how mathematics could be used on everyday game shows to put the odds of winning closer to your favor. Although it is an opinion piece, which quotes Simon Singh, about how math strategies are better than your chance instincts it shows different ways to better win prizes on game shows by switching to his methods. Game shows such as Deal or No Deal and Let's Make a Deal which were popular and are popular shows on television today are discussed.
More information and games to come soon. If there are any requests for certain types of games or anything else, please let me know! Thank you, Carolyn Hanes
