Clue Champ!

So this is AWESOME.

I played Clue with my family this evening and I thought I'd use my psychic powers and see if I could guess the cards inside.

I won all three times that we played. It was almost too easy. And I NEVER win at Clue!

People: Got this right 2 out of 3 times
Weapon: Got this right 1 out of 3 times. Not my best work. For some reason it was hard for me to read this
Room: I got this right 3 out of 3 times - 100% :)

The hardest part of Clue is the rooms. I think pretty much everyone would agree on that. And I always just knew which room it was going to be so I had a HUGE advantage because I was spot on every single time.

I don't know if my math is right, but there are 9 rooms. And to be able to guess the room right three times in a row - what is that? Like (1/9)^3 = 1/729 = 0.137% chance?

And there are like 6 people? And 6 weapons? Add one or two of those factors in and the percent chance is even smaller.

Man. That was a blast!
