Lucky/Unlucky Number

Short Description:

Guess The Lucky Number - But Dodge The Unlucky One

Full Description

Lucky/Unlucky Number

NEW: Users can opt out of playing and just tip by putting the word 'optout'
anywhere in their tip note.

NEW: Tips greater than the highest remaining number available will get played
against the highest remaining numbers automatically. THESE ARE CONSIDERED
SAFE NUMBERS (they will not be "unlucky"). For example if the numbers left
are 1-20,24,25,26,27,28,29,30 and somebody tips 100 tokens, then the
numbers 30, 29 & 28 will be removed from the board (the remaining number 13
will NOT be auto played since it can't be certain it's safe at this time).

===============================

This is a variation on the classic "guess the number I'm thinking of" game with a
few twists:

1. If the unlucky number is guessed, the game starts over and all the numbers
reset.
2. Both numbers are randomly picked and are kept secret - the broadcaster
finds out with everybody else what the numbers are.
3. To partially compensate for the secretness (?) of the numbers, the unlucky
number will ALMOST always be lower than the lucky number.

With the unlucky number factor, token counts can go up dramatically. The following
are some results of one million run simulations (assuming no duplicate tips (which
would only increase the average) and completely random tips):

Range/Average Income/Average w/o Unlucky #
1-10 39 30
1-20 145 110
5-15 9 59
5-20 140 106
10-20 119 89
10-30 291 219
20-30 198 149
20-40 439 329
30-50 584 440
1-100 3391 2551 (Good luck with this one!)

Best of Luck! And Enjoy!
