The odds of getting 100 per cent are 1 in 4800 (5*4*3*2*5*4*2), which is a bit better than the original game with the dwarves, which had odds of 7! = 5040

[You are unlikely to reach 100% here. If that matters to you for your leaderboard position, Do not play this game.]

The chances of getting 100% in any one playing are 1 in 4800 as described, not 960.

The 1st question has 4 answers, so your chances of getting it right are 1/4 = .25

The 2nd has 5, so your chances there are 1/5=.20

the chances of getting the two correct are 1/5 * 1/4 = 1/(4 * 5) = 1/20 =.05

You multiply the two, as they are assumed to be independent (your success on one does not influence chances on the next).

for the first three, it is 1/4 * 1/5 * 1/5 = 1/(4 * 5 * 5) = 1/100

And for all the questions it is:

1/(4 * 5 * 5 * 4 * 2 * 3 * 2) = 1/4800

No need to divide by five.

But as you say, you are lucky.

I see you've played it several times, which does improve your odds. But the odds given are in terms of a single play.

A lot of people won't play this game because of the long odds: it holds down their overall scores.

So thank you for playing.

This is the point of that game: it's all about luck: you can't tell the right answer from the wrong.

The title is a reference to the original "How Lucky Are You?" game, which is a picture game with the 7 Dwarves.

The description on my game indicates that it is very unlikely for someone to get it all correct:

1 chance in 4800 times. (A bit better than the game with the dwarves which has 1 in 5400 odds.

To date, only 1 person has made 100% on my game, out of more than 7700 tries.

In the other game, There are 3 100% scores out of >13,200 plays. (That kind of game is a bit different: you can abort a try when you see that it is wrong. Aborted plays don't count, so that fudges the odds a bit.)

There are other similar games about. I think mine is the only one (other than the dwarves game) that warns agains the unlikelyhood of achieving 100%

I don't like it when I play this because all those answers are the same and I'm confused.
