چکیده
We propose a single loop diagram and use it to devise matrix method computationally solve the Penney-Ante game. This avoids nuances of repeated conditional probability Markov chain representations. remove limitations Conway’s trick as applied fair coin generalize where is allowed be biased. A uniform random number generator used simulate game formulate implicit mathematical relations explore nontransitivity.

Solving Flipping Coin Problem and Penney-Ante Game without Using Generating Function
We revisit the Flipping Coins (FCP) Problem and PennyAnte Game(PAG) and present a new method for solving them. In FCP and PAG, we consider the process where a string S is generated character by character randomly until certain fixed pattern occurs. FCP asks the expected length of the S while PAG asks the probability of occurrence for each pattern. The classical way (see [13]) of computing those...
متن کاملFirst-past-the-post and Penney-Ante Games
Penney-Ante is the name of a (probabilistic) game with pennies invented by Walter Penney. Analysis of the game depends on a collection of simultaneous (nonlinear) equations in languages. In all the publications I am aware of, the equations are complicated by the introduction of generating functions detailing lengths of words. This document records a proof in which the unnecessary naming of word...
متن کاملOptimal Penney Ante Strategy via Correlation Polynomial Identities
In the game of Penney Ante two players take turns publicly selecting two distinct words of length n using letters from an alphabet Ω of size q. They roll a fair q sided die having sides labelled with the elements of Ω until the last n tosses agree with one player’s word, and that player is declared the winner. For n ≥ 3 the second player has a strategy which guarantees strictly better than even...
متن کاملExploring the Role of M-Game as a Seat of ESP Reading in the Iranian TVT
To direct m-game to be a possible didactic option for Iranian TVT (Technical Vocational Training) trainees, in this study m-game-mediated (Mobile Game-Mediated) materials delivery was incorporated into the conventional teaching method in the blended ESP reading skill platform. So, 52 male trainees fromTechnical and Vocational College of Isfahan were selected by convenience sampling. Afterwards...
متن کاملExploring Design through Game
1 Eunice Ratna Sari, translate-easy.com, [email protected] Abstract A design project is a social process that typically involves social interaction and collaboration among people with different backgrounds. Within the process, the pattern of social interaction and collaboration is not always trivial. To cope with these challenges, a designer needs to be equipped with some good social skil...
