Let's talk about Bin or Win. There can be 6 killer balls in all: 4 in round 1, 1 in round 2 and 1 in Bin or Win round. There are 6 balls to bin and 5 to win. That means, there's a probability that all killer balls are binned. But first, please go here: :arrow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial%2...

Double what? Is conundrum scoring dependent on the letters that come out?

Yes, it's double the points of all letters in the conundrum.

How about Point variant? Each letter scores you different amount of points, but there are some "blank" or "*" cards that score NOTHING which can substitute EVERY letter, much like in Scrabble. The word with the most points wins, BUT in case of a tie, longest word still wins. Long...

Just to help you out Dmitry, $ is a monetary symbol that means "Dollar", and without any other letters is usually taken to mean the American, especially if the statement is of US origin. Similarly, 1,000,000 is a mathematical symbol pertaining to the number one million. In correct English...

I made some changes to Hypercountdown. There are now 60 SECONDS in each round and you score 5pts for 50-off, 7pts for 20-off, 10pts for 10-off, 15pts for 5-off and 20pts for exact match in numbers round. I think Hypercountdown must be REALLY HYPER . Shouldn't it be called Reallyhypercountdown then?...
