Quote:So, have you worked out the equation to how much the banker offers given the set of amounts still in play?
I can't stand the show long enough to try and solve it myself.:P
It doesn't seem to be 100% consistent. The offer always has a negative expected value (obviously), but there definitely isn't a simple relationship between amount in play and amount offered. It would actually be kind of interesting to watch a bunch of shows, record amount in play vs. amount offered and graph it in Excel.

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
