Examined Keno Strategy...

The sum of the difference of all answers is always 76
Submitted by stupid.fo0l
The sum of the difference of all answers is 76. Like if the answer was 4 19 24 38 62 69 71 78 79 80 the different of every number is 15 5 14 24 7 2 7 1 1 and the sum of that difference is 76, which it always is.


First, I'd like to point out that the difference isn't always 76. Last time I played, I got 72. Second, however intersting the idea may be, it doesn't help in the least, even if it were true.
1,2,3,4,......,74,75,76,77(every number from 1 to 77) Add up the differences between the numbers, you get 76.
1,77-Again, the total difference is 76
3,27,38,45,49,79-again the total difference is 76.
The theory doesn't help in the least, because for any group of numbers(a,b,....,c), the sum of the difference of the numbers will be c-a, no matter what numbers you choose between C and A.

That is an odd strategy for a random game. I dunno. It might work for them. It is just as likely to win as choosing randomly.

:D

Although sometimes reopets does not do things quite randomly. Take winning lottery tickets from games like Dice-a-roo. The numbers chosen on these tickets are very very similar.

No strategy what-so-ever.......


Just thought I'd prove this wrong by having a little go on the game and...


10 20 32 36 41 50 51 52 67 74
Difference is - 10 + 12 + 4 + 5 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 15 + 7 = 64


But...but.....but..but the strategy says it's always 76..... PFFFFFFT !

No strategy involved. It's completely random, and the odds are nearly as bad as the lottery. My advice - if you're going to wager neopoints, stick to Krawps. ;)

If you're gonna wager neopoints, stick to Bilge Dice! :D

I played Keno for the avatar only.
