From what I've heard about our current climate warming situation I'd downgrade the metaphor from using breaks to taking the foot off the pedal a bit.

Snakes and Ladders (self.math)

Watching a video about snakes and ladders (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2ixp5VozIs) inspired me to dust off my markov-chain-memories and calculate the probability of winning the game after N rounds for normal and hardcore (ladders are snakes too) version.
Here's my code: https://gist.github.com/SimonLammer/5f7c5fd4f9e60bba9fd13db0930ff83b

Normal: 61% after 55 rounds; 95% after 144 rounds; 99% after 233 rounds.
Hardcore: 4.5% after 55 rounds; 19% after 144 rounds; 32% after 233 rounds; 66% after 610 rounds; 95% after 1597 rounds; 99% after 2584 rounds.

I expected the hardcore version to be harder, but didn't foresee a difference this big.

How could the number of expected snakes that were taken to win be calculated (aside from computer simulation)?

How well liked something is sadly doesn't necessarily correlate with its truth.

Memes on c/Games - yes or no? by GitProphet in c/games@lemmy.world

[-] GitProphet 8 points 2 years ago

No, I'd rather have a separate community for game memes (which I myself might also join) and keep things clean here.
