In class today we played a game, Is this game fair?
heres the rules :D
1) There are two participants, one PLAYER and one OPPONENT.
only the PLAYER will roll the number cubes.
2) each person will start off with 10 points
3) each time the PLAYER rolls a seven on the number cubes, the OPPONENT must give them
three of their 10 points.
4) If the PLAYER rolls anything other than the seven he/she must give one point to the OPPONENT
You must record the results of each roll a chart like this !



The first person after ten rolls with the most points wins .

The other thing we did in class was a car game
there is a red car and a blue car :
you roll the die to get one of these six numbers.
the red car moves on 2,4,6
the blue car moves on 1,3,5
The car too reach the end wins .
In class harbeck played this game , and the blue car won .

After , we needed a different way but still make it fair.
red car moves on 1,2,3
blue car moves on 4,5,6
It's still fair, because each car has a 50/50 chance of winning.

one way too make , the red car will always win is chosing numbers like this :
red car : 1,2,3,4,5
blue car : 6
