Several sample outputs are suggesting that the total probability does not equal 100% which can't be right. --[[User:Lupus|Lupus]] 11:38, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
:It's just MAXScript and AWK. It may just be floating-point math errors. They aren't drastically off (less than 1% each) and the relation between switching and keeping is still apparent. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 14:11, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
:Hi Lupus, could you give an example? There is nothing to add up to 100% that I can see - you just do say 10000 runs for each strategy and report how many times you win for each strategy and/or divide by the number of runs and multiply by 100 to get the percentage for each strategy. The strategy figures are compared but don't add up to 100%. Because its all (pseudo) random, the results should tend towards 1/3, 1/2 or 2/3 but won't exactly equal these figures. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
