:Hi Lupus, could you give an example? There is nothing to add up to 100% that I can see - you just do say 10000 runs for each strategy and report how many times you win for each strategy and/or divide by the number of runs and multiply by 100 to get the percentage for each strategy. The strategy figures are compared but don't add up to 100%. Because its all (pseudo) random, the results should tend towards 1/3, 1/2 or 2/3 but won't exactly equal these figures. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 
:Oh wait, I think it is due to subtleties of the implementation Lupus. Your Fortran solution looks at what the results would be for the same random choices ran on the different strategies. Other tests just run run the same number of random trials which is what I had in mind. I haven't looked in depth at your Fortran solution though. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
