NEW UPDATE ON SNAIL RACE

Scientists ( Room 20 ) have just found out that 7 really is the best because it has 6/36 chances of winning but the rest have 5/36 and under chances, so that proves it! 7 really is the best number to get, the one number that I have never had. Where as number 1, 2 and number 12 don't have a very good chance because number 1 has 0/36 chances of winning, 2 has 1/36 chances of winning and number 12 has 1/36 chances of winning.
( I have had 1 before, It was cruel, I went no where.)

probabiltiy snail race game

First place - 7
Second place - 6
Third place - 5

this game is about probability since we have been learning about probability in class for maths.

Snail race rules:

1) set up your board and 12 'snails' or numbers.
2) make sure someone is in charge of moving each snail.
3) take turns rolling two dice & add the numbers together
4) Move that number snail one place along the board.
5) keep playing until 3 snails have crossed the finished line.
6) record the 1st (5 points) 2nd (3 points) 3rd (1 point)
7) play the game at least 5 or more times.

When me, Molly, Zoe, Taylor, Samantha and Sofia.V played we found that number 7 won, we found that it is because there are lots of chances of getting 7 like:
3+4
5+2
6+1

7 also won yesterday when we played the game!
1 never won because you can't get a one from 2 dice
Give this game a go it's really fun!☺
