ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION

HISTORY

That the game was created in this century is no coincidence. In the nineteenth century, more specifically in the year 1800, it was noted for being a time of many changes. With all the scientific and philosophical developments that existed and with the revolutions of the bourgeoisie, this stage the most common games were related to mathematics.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

The hac game has been around since the nineteenth century. At that time it was a game that was continuously played in the market squares of many towns and cities in Europe.

All citizens played this betting game in the hope of one day earning a lot of money, but in the end, they realized that almost always the winners of this game, were wise or very intelligent men, who analyzed the mathematical part of the game and bet in a reasoned way unlike the rest of the people.

Over time the game disappeared almost completely but the museum was given a second chance to study it, enjoy it and most importantly, learn from it.

Complications

Some of the dificults that we had with this game que hem tingut amb aquest joc es que ara es poc conegut i només l'hem pogut trobar al museu de les matemàtiquess . In addition, they had moved the module from their usual place for reforms as we have mentioned above and it did not have the information poster where it is usually explained the place where it was created and other data about it.

Variations of the game

Variant of the rest: The 2 dice are thrown as with the traditional game, and the result of these is added up. Once we have the sum, we throw 2 more dice and add the result of these as well. Then the largest result of the dice combinations, is subtracted with the other result.

Sum variant with 3 dice: The counter has numbers from 3 to 18, the first column goes from 3 to 9, the bank keeps 10 and 11, which are the numbers most likely to come out and the other column goes from 12 to 18, since it has the same probability as the first. Then it is played the same as in the original game but with other numbers.

PROBABILITIES OF THE DICE

2 : 1/36 = 2,78% 8 : 5/36 = 13,89%

3 : 2/36 = 5,56% 9 : 4/36 = 11,11%

4 : 3/36 = 8,33% 10 : 3/36 = 8,33%

5 : 4/36 = 11,11% 11 : 2/36 = 5,56%

6 : 5/36 = 13,89% 12 : 1/36 = 2,78%

7 : 6/36 = 16,67%
