Re: Social Roulette has a 1 in 6 chance of deleting your account
#42I once read that the chance of Russian Roulette is NOT 1:6 but more like 1:600, since you play with one bullet and the weight of the bullet makes it relatively unlikely that the bullet stops next to the top position in the barrel when you spin it. Don't know if this is true but in the end, it doesn't matter for this stupid game.
I can safely say that is not true. The weight of a bullet is pretty small compared to the weight of a cylinder. Try it (not the shooting part). It's not a big effect.

The creator was being facetious and the fabrications were meant to be obvious enough that no one would take them seriously, right?

No, it isn't obvious that the listed testimonials are fake.

#45This should get "acquired" by Facebook and then shut down, otherwise they'll lose half of their user base, haha^^
I think you mean a 1/6th...

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
FYI "choice" is the name of a function in the random module: from random import choice if choice(range(6)): print "Try again tomorrow." else: print "Today is not your lucky day."
No one liner? Im disappointed. Did you read the commnt at the end?
print ("Click", "Bam!")[input()%6==4]

Depends on if you're re-spinning between turns. Otherwise the first guy might get a 1/600 chance, but everyone afterward has better (or worse?) than 1/6 odds.
Your odds never change, this is not how maths work. It's always 1/6, just like the odds of getting heads/tails in a coin flip is ALWAYS 1/2 no matter how many times you flipped already. Odds of receiving a certain outcome X number of times in a row can change,but the odds of a single event never,never,never do. Even if you flip a coin 10000 and got tails 10000 times, your 10001 flip also has a 50/50 chance of being heads or tails.

#49Funny bit about this is that someone will give these people millions in funding or acquihire. All for a: from random import randint choice = randint(1, 6) delete = randint(1, 6) if choice == delete: print "Today is not your lucky day." else: print "Try again tomorrow." print "Today's choice was {0}.".format(choice) #I felt like writing some bad python.
I know what you mean. In a sense the backend code is probably pretty simple. But that just goes to show how important the implementation / design really is. I just survived the game, and I thought the spinning revolver wheel is what made the experience.
My point is that the code really doesnt matter in many "startups". Just the fact that someone will buy.
