For kicks, I wrote a quick Monte Carlo simulation of the bridge game. I assumed each player had a 50% chance on each tile, and each player would perfectly remember the safe tiles previous players had uncovered. The results over a million trials were: 0 players remaining: 547 trials, 0.05% 1 players remaining: 3115 trials, 0.31% 2 players remaining: 11572 trials, 1.16% 3 players remaining: 32837 trials, 3.28% 4 players remaining: 70612 trials, 7.06% 5 players remaining: 121468 trials, 12.15% 6 players remaining: 166828 trials, 16.68% 7 players remaining: 185008 trials, 18.50% 8 players remaining: 167495 trials, 16.75% 9 players remaining: 121343 trials, 12.13% 10 players remaining: 70978 trials, 7.10% 11 players remaining: 32481 trials, 3.25% 12 players remaining: 11831 trials, 1.18% 13 players remaining: 3125 trials, 0.31% 14 players remaining: 563 trials, 0.06% 15 players remaining: 68 trials, 0.01% 16 players remaining: 3 trials, 0.00% So they had a pretty good shot of having at least 2 players remaining, but the most likely result was 7 players remaining. I know that isn’t quite what happened - at least one time someone forgot a previous tile, and there was the case of 2 players dying on the same tile. And the glass guy “cheated” on 2 tiles, so I’ll run the numbers again trying to account for those. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/squid-game-korean-series-on-netflix-spoilers/951443)._
