Perennial Rivals

This is a computer simulation for the Advanced Starter called Perennial Rivals. You will need to read the details of the situation first so that you can understand this simulation.

It uses the power of your computer's processor to show which team would win games whether played at the teams home ground or the at the rival's ground.

Team A's home ground is shown with a pink background and team B's with a light blue background.

The letter indicating which team wins the game is shown inside the shape.

The results of each game are determined by the computer's ability to generate random outcomes determined by the following: The changes of a team winning when playing at their home ground is: 0% 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% 10% 11% 12% 13% 14% 15% 16% 17% 18% 19% 20% 21% 22% 23% 24% 25% 26% 27% 28% 29% 30% 31% 32% 33% 34% 35% 36% 37% 38% 39% 40% 41% 42% 43% 44% 45% 46% 47% 48% 49% 50% 51% 52% 53% 54% 55% 56% 57% 58% 59% 60% 61% 62% 63% 64% 65% 66% 67% 68% 69% 70% 71% 72% 73% 74% 75% 76% 77% 78% 79% 80% 81% 82% 83% 84% 85% 86% 87% 88% 89% 90% 91% 92% 93% 94% 95% 96% 97% 98% 99% 100%

Crank up the speed using the slider above and leave this simulation running on your computer. Come back later to see the long-term results.  You may use the time to look at some other probability Advanced Starters which don't produce intuitive results:
