Nostradamus said...

We have a small straight already set, but one more six will get our upper bonus on.

Small straight it is. Take the first instance of each number?

MR.F said...

Wow. Nice one, FB. I wish I saw him during that tour. This one is very much a different side of Sufjan. But it was amazing. The greatest concert I've ever seen. Granted I haven't seen many. But wow.

Taking the 6 in the sixes.

I'm going for broke in the last round. Even a Yahtzee won't make a difference but I want final the score to look respectable.

Eric Karros said...

Well let me think about this:

-->if I bet on a Yahtzee next round and get it, it'd be 50 next round plus the 6 I'd bank this round, so +56
-->if I bet on 4 sixes next round and get it, it'd be 0 this round but at least 26+35 next round, so +61.

I'm guessing the probability of a Yahtzee is > probability of 4 sixes. But Yahtzee is all or nothing. With 4 sixes, a fail could still yield lesser points.

So conclusion: I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Jason said...

@EK - You have to take the 0 on the Yahtzee now and hope to get 5 sixes next round while the readers roll none. In that scenario you win by 4, 245 - 241. There is no other scenario that I can see where the Sons can win this thing (except for the readers royally screwing up the vote on the small straight this round).
