![]() I'm not sure I understand the problem statement. "Three players: Mr A has one dollar. Mr B has two dollars. Mr C has three dollars. Every hand they each ante a buck and run the cards. That continues until only one player is left." What happens when a participant is left w/ $0.50, are they out because they can't ante, or are they in for 3/5 of the pot? Will it matter? |

![]() I see my question was first raised below by "Chr", under DS's original post with the subject line "You sure you have the right solution David?" I hadn't examined the whole thread before posting, and Chr's complaint was loss to me in the mass of stuff in that thread -- but credit where it is due... |

![]() Right Sammy. It was you who saw this, but nobody gave an answer even though i commented it in the subjectline. So i tried to post it under DS solution, but still the answer is missing... |

![]() Well I still haven't seen your post, but I'll take your word for it without hesitation. At the same time, I wouldn't be the least surprised if he found this lack of robustness in the offered solution independently... |

![]() I guess he didn't make the complaint independently. I did... I think... |

![]() This is a math problem. I would have thought it obvious that I assumed there could be no ties. |

![]() Cute. Where I studied maths, your solution would be called 'wrong' -- in math, there is no elegance without rigor. |
