  2. Incremental game - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_game

    The rapid growth of cost, power and rewards is what makes incremental games fun and satisfying. They often incorporate very large numbers in their calculation of rewards/power, either using scientific notations (1x10 34 /10E 34), shorthands (1M, 1T, etc.), shorthand (1a, 1b, 1aa, 1ab), or special naming schemes for very large numbers (e.g. "duoquadragintillion"), which sometimes make recording ...

  3. Card counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_counting

    High cards decrease the count for the opposite reason. For example, the Hi-Lo system subtracts one for each 10, jack, queen, king, or ace and adds one for any card between 2 and 6. 7s, 8s, and 9s count as zero and do not affect the count. [6] A card counting system aims to assign point values roughly correlating to a card's effect of removal ...

  4. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    One variation of this problem assumes that the people making change will use the "greedy algorithm" for making change, even when that requires more than the minimum number of coins. Most current currencies use a 1-2-5 series , but some other set of denominations would require fewer denominations of coins or a smaller average number of coins to ...

    The vast majority of these 2 18 different rules [59] produce universes that are either too chaotic or too desolate to be of interest, but a large subset do display interesting behaviour. A further generalization produces the isotropic rulespace, with 2 102 possible cellular automaton rules [60] (the Game of Life again being one of them). These ...

  6. Counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting

    Number blocks, which can be used for counting. Counting is the process of determining the number of elements of a finite set of objects; that is, determining the size of a set. . The traditional way of counting consists of continually increasing a (mental or spoken) counter by a unit for every element of the set, in some order, while marking (or displacing) those elements to avoid visiting the ...

    The counting procedure is then as follows: If there is a candidate that has a majority of the top preferences of the valid, active ballots, then that candidate is elected and the count stops. If not, go to step 2. If there is more than one candidate left, eliminate the one with the fewest top preferences. [a]
