If you could have a dollar for any of the following what would you choose

A dollar for:
1. Every grain of sand on the planet
2. Every possible chess game
3. Every star in the universe
4. Every possible scenario in a 3 table poker tournament if all players AI each hand

Im not posting the answer because that stops people from submitting responses

Number 4, I dont wanna get too greedy

BiliousBetil · Apr 3, 2016

Clearly a trick question. We flat-Earthers know that those are not stars, but florescent dots on a dark matte background.

Cheers!

Its not 1 - actually 1 is the lowest amount

3. Every star in the universe

Number # 4 - I am a poker player so I choose this!

LukeSilver · Apr 5, 2016

I think the correct answer is every possible chess game.

The correct answer isnt on the list . Here it is :

Every lie that TPTB on earth has told humanity .

I'd like a dollar for every grain of sand on the planet. I know I may be leaving some money on the table if there are a lot of stars, but I have no intentions of leaving this planet, so I'd have plenty of money to keep me busy. I would probably move someplace where I could play on Fulltilt or Pokerstars., southern Canada maybe. Since I am already in Minnesota, it would not be much of a move. Probably close to the horse track in Canada I have visited, Assiniboia Downs.

Without doing any research, I'm going to guess #3.

I used to play chess a lot and I know that the number of possible games is tremendously high. I could be way off the margin here, but I think that there are about 10^50 possible chess games, since the average game lasts more than 50 moves and each additional move creates at least 10 possibilities.

I estimate that the number of grains of sand on the planet and the number of stars in the universe would both be around 10^15. Again, I could be way off the margin because I haven't done any research prior to answering this question, but that's just a rough guess.

I think that the poker all-in would be very close too. My estimate is that there are roughly 10^3 combos of hands that each player can have, so with 27 players and multiple all-in rounds, this could get very close with the chess one.

Id go for every star in the universe. Thats just an infinite number

I give you the win, mostly because you are right in your thinking.

Actually, in theory, the poker scenario is the winner. It should yield roughly somewhere in the neighborhood of 15^220, and increase x 2.5^6 with each table. This of course is a rough estimate because the numbers are so large. The chess one has been said to be around 10^100 - 10^120. The truth is no one has every bothered to figure out the exact number because it is irrelevant and very time consuming. Now the poker scenario also did not take into consideration that sometimes the players will tie, and have to have more hands dealt, making the number even larger.

Sand is lowest, stars in 3rd, chess is 2nd, and poker is 1st (under 3 tables poker falls way behind chess).

With this in mind, does anybody still think there is a bot out there can can beat any better than average player? HIGHLY IMPROBABLE

Benman120 · Apr 8, 2016

I hate how people blame bots online. If you can't outplay bots what type of poker player are you?

Roman Romanov · Apr 11, 2016

I would prefer to play poker, in Denver, in political terms))
