round 10

[rexxefa]

Hey! So excited to be playing with you and Adam

So I was thinking since you're on an order next to me, I was wondering if you could help me getting at least the division symbol? Probably when it come to your turn you could offer 20 coins at once (or probably half of them, then see if anyone else would bid higher). After that you could take the division symbol and give me afterwards or take one symbol of your choosing and leave the division symbol sign.

I'm thinking since everyone has seen the episode everyone would go for the division and the 9 & 11 numbers. I'm gonna try to make some connections to get the 9 or 11 tiles. I hope you're good with you helping me and work together, since I would really love to advance to the next round

Hi,
I haven't seen this episode. Has there been a new series ?? I don't understand how 9 and 11 would be useful , surely it all depends on which number you get first (hidden number) , no? Also, when it comes to bidding, does everyone get 1 bid only per round? Or does it keep going til 5 players pass?

[rexxefa]

it's on season 3 episode 10

Actually nvm about number 9, since the formula doesn;t always works with number 9.

Basically, if you have the division sign, the number 11, and the minus symbol, you could practically have any 2 other numbers and form a 10. Also the fact that every decimals are voided.

The formula goes like this:
11-a/b with a<b

If a low number is divided with a higher number, then it'll always results in 0.xxx (1/3=0.333, 2/4=0.5, etc). Then if 11 gets subtracted by that number then it'll always results in 10.xxx, which results in 10.

Also, I think bidding kept going until everyone passes

[rexxefa]

But yea, the division symbol is pretty useful

[soullimbo]

I'm watching the episode now....I must have missed it because I definitely watched that series . I understand about the formula, the problem is that you need 3 things for it to work. The fact that there will be 2 "division" and subtraction symbols available may help, but still. Plus the fact that the auction winner bids first....it would be a bonus if you got 11 as your hidden number

[rexxefa]

Yea I think if you were to bid 20 coins at this stage the auction will be over, if I read the statement correctly...

[soullimbo]

I think the idea of bidding 20 coins is not the best . I also think that if you wanted to win the first auction, you should have bid more than 1, made a statement intent. We'll see if anyone bids up on Trevor. If you don't raise, then I will.

edit : apparently, once you pass, thats you out of the round. I wasn't aware of this and it wasn't really in the rules . Not to worry

[rexxefa]

Yea, it's just one of my brutalist way of thinking ...

But I'm also thinking if I should probably bid a maximum of 5 for this first round, since there's another chance of getting the symbol in the 3rd round, and for this round get either the plus or minus.

[rexxefa]

So I'm not planning on spending more coins right now on the auction, but I can help you if you want to get the numbers since I'm planning on collaborating with kevin too so both of us won't get the last few picks.

[soullimbo]

It all depends which numbers become available. But if you pass, I will bid 1, just to make sure I'm still in the round (esp if the numbers 10 and 11 become available) , don't want those to go too cheaply

[rexxefa]

You're gonna keep betting right? I'm gonna try to ask kevin to lend you some coins, probably create a room for us three

[soullimbo]

, why would kevin give me coins ? Me winning the round means he gets last pick, why would he give coins for that to happen?

[rexxefa]

Afaik he's trying to prevent ethy from getting the divide... I'm not sure tho about what he'll do exactly
