It's 4.83% or 128 / 2652 for a natural blackjack on a single hand. Found that stat online. |
Topic | Catch 21 (math majors only) |
Steffenfield 04/24/21 5:20:33 AM #10 | The odds of a natural blackjack is 1 in 21, yes? So to win the grand prize and get all three blackjacks in a row naturally without any thought needed, that would be 1 in 9261 games (TV episodes), correct? Wait, it would be even worse since each time an Ace and Face/Ten card is removed from the drawing deck. Of course the player's choices and just needing to get 21 (natural is not required) for each hand makes the odds far more favorable. I'm fairly sure though this is indeed a scam game that's nearly impossible to ever win in full. |

Steffenfield 04/24/21 4:59:42 AM #9 | @joe40001 Yeah, I most definitely assume a program would need to be written to calculate the exact probabilities. All I'm asking for here though is a rough approximation. |

Steffenfield 04/23/21 6:06:37 AM #7 | On tonight's episode Joanne got closest to winning the grand prize that I've ever seen on the show. https://youtu.be/tqsjVobF0OI It starts at 12:20 and again is about 7 minutes in length. It seemed like she was very close and the crowd got all excited. However, I can't help but feel that this is a total scam game one might find at a carnival. I don't see how it's possible to ever beat with rational thinking. Anyone up for doing the math on this? |
Topic | What's your opinion on refusing to wear a mask after being fully vaccinated |
Steffenfield 04/23/21 5:51:11 AM #23 | I'm fully vaccinated. Will be getting the booster come late fall if I'm still around. Will be wearing a mask until this nightmare all goes away. It's barely a slight inconvenience for the health and safety of others. |

Topic | Catch 21 (math majors only) |
Steffenfield 04/23/21 1:55:19 AM #4 | One deck I believe. The final game is just a single contestant. The payout is: $1k guaranteed $2.5k with a single hand of 21 $5k for two hands of 21 $25k if you get all three If you bust though, you just get the $1k default. This leads all players to quit early after usually winning the $2.5k amount. Probably because the odds are so stacked against them. |
Topic | Catch 21 (math majors only) |
Steffenfield 04/23/21 1:38:58 AM #1 | Anyone seen this Gameshow? Here's the final game to win the grand prize. You're given three hands and start with one random playing card on each of them. You draw one card at a time and decide which of the three hands to add that to. If you get a score of exactly 21 you win on that hand. The grand prize of $25k is to score 21 on all three hands. You're also given two chances to throw away the card you've drawn if it seems unfavorable. What might be the approximate odds on winning it all? It seems like something simple to do, but I think it's close to impossible. Thanks ahead for anyone who tries the math on this. Edit: Forgot to mention that if you bust on any hand the game is over. |

Steffenfield 04/19/21 10:54:58 PM #8 | Two percent whole milk with three heaping spoons of Nestle Strawberry mix topped with whipped cream. I actually bought 30 pounds of Nestle mix last month on Walmart. It's so good. |

Steffenfield 04/18/21 1:45:29 AM #106 | @Pus_N_Pecans Hi. Were you able to update your public records with the post office/white pages? I never got that done. I once talked to the postmaster in my town and she said that was impossible. I still don't understand this. :/ |
Topic | Anyone here know someone who legally changed their name? |
Steffenfield 04/18/21 12:22:08 AM #104 | Pus_N_Pecans posted... I changed my name a couple years ago. The act of changing it isnt bad, but all the paperwork afterward is another story entirely. You can expect to take off about 3-4 days of work to get through all the places you need to update it at. Yeah. Especially since most accounts have all gone digital and it's confusing what correct order they should all be done on getting updated. I actually hired someone from UpWork to advise me because so many little details were required for a full transition. |

Steffenfield 04/12/21 9:31:11 PM #17 | Pick something that you completely identify with or perhaps a tribute to someone meaningful in your life. Test them out on paper, like writing them as a signature. Hopefully you'll find one that fully connects with you. |
