The Secret of Snakes and Ladders

Snakes and Ladders -- also called Chutes and Ladders in the US -- might look like a simple board game for kids, but it actually goes back thousands of years with deep, meaningful origins. And along the path of creating a morality-based game to help kids navigate the world around them, humans stumbled onto some pretty interesting math.
From reaching nirvana to exploring Markov chains, Snakes and Ladders weaves a surprisingly complex tale of virtue, vice, and dumb luck. So, I decided to electrify it. Literally.
Imaginative engineering RU-vidr Allen Pan of Sufficiently Advanced helped me customize an old Snakes and Ladders board by hooking up batteries to the board itself, with conductive position markers and steel line in the game pieces that could make a circuit all the way to the end. And at that final 100th space, a surprise mystery box that I’ve never seen before is activated…
And thanks to Allen Pan of Sufficiently Advanced for not burning my house down: / @allenpan

When we were young, when you don't roll the exact number required at the end i.e. 2 for this instance, you go back the number of remainder of the numbers you rolled after you reached the finish. Though I think that's just a rule we made up.

@_skzstay1264 4 года назад

Ok fun fact... or just something i realized when Kevin mentioned "Learning" and "Greed" Some Snakes and Ladders boards actually show these as scenes or pictures which depicts what he said, At a ladder, the square at the bottom of a ladder shows a child studying and at the top is the child graduating "Learning". Another example is a girl watering a plant and at the top shows flowers in full bloom "Perseverance or Patience" At Snakes, at the head is a boy holding a stick is chasing a dog and at the tail is the dog and the owner of the dog is scolding the boy "Karma or Cruelty." Those types of Board designs are actually common in our country (Philippines) (i dont know if it is in yours) and i never realized its meaning until now. I just thought of it as fun designs for children to look at.

This game was originally designed to show the path to moksha, the ultimate enlightenment. Snakes are the bad karma that would drag you down and ladders are good karma that would give you a boost.

I don't know if there's some way to calculate the probability of winning the game based on what square your piece is currently on. But I'm willing to bet that your odds of winning always go up the closer you are to square 100, no matter how many snakes are ahead of you.

@88Nieznany88 4 года назад

@@imveryangryitsnotbutter there is way to calculate probablity, because as stated in video its 101-state markov chain. About the second part: in general case it's not true. You can imagine version of game where you are at square 49 and ladder will push you to 57, but all squares in between are ladders than puah you to 98 or something. Then it's clearly better not to take this ladder and instead roll nect turn and take better one. But game is constructed in such way that it's probably almost always best to take the ladder.

@GrrumpyPants 2 года назад

Needing to roll an exact number to win is incredibly important to how the final stage of the game plays out. With a snake on 99, the winning roll always comes with at least a 50% probably of hitting a snake, as you have a 1 in 6 chance of getting a winning roll, and a 1 in 6 chance of getting one less than that.

@TheSpencermacdougall 3 года назад

Theoretically, but highly unlikely. To never reach the end (square 100) you would somehow either need to get into a infinite loop of snakes, or (using the official rules) be on S99 and never roll a 1, which is impossible if done endlessly.

@nibbletrinnal2289 3 года назад

@@TheSpencermacdougall That is incorrect, actually. Each number has a 1/6 chance of being rolled on a dice, meaning, on average, it would only take six rolls to get the one you need to finish, but this is no guarantee. Although it would appear more and more likely that you roll a 1 as you continue to roll, the fact that you can roll five other numbers that *arent* 1 will always prevent it from becoming a guarantee. It is completely possible to roll a dice an infinite amount of times and *never* land on the number 1 even once

That battery warning is very misguided. Yes, you shouldn't keep lithium cells just thrown around, but the devices that use them have the protective circuitry in them. You can buy cells with more robust protective layers too. The irony too, is that the videos of batteries busting are from cellphones, which should have better protection against that sort of thing, no? The real reason for the AA batteries was probably one of convenience and cost. You can buy the proper circuits to keep lithium batteries safe, but that is just added cost.

*The board game, today called Snakes and Ladders, originated in ancient India, where it was known with the name Mokshapat or Moksha Patamu. It's not exactly known when or who invented it, though it's believed the game was played at a time as early as 2nd century BC.*

@bobbusc 4 года назад

I like the idea of finding life lessons in board games. They're great teaching tools. I'm not crazy about the idea of this showing good and bad decisions based on dice rolls though. I feel like the message would be stronger with more player agency.

The phrase starting at square one comes from football (soccer) radio commentary. 'Back to square one' meant passing backwards into one of the 8 rectangles that the pitch is divided into to describe the game easily for people who could only hear and not see.

On average that's how many steps forward you're making each roll of a dice: (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 + 0.5*(10/100)*11.8 - 0.5*(11/100)*35.27 = 2.15 I know you've always wanted to know this. You're welcome.

@TheBasikShow 4 года назад

Why are you multiplying the snake and ladder options by 0.5?

@HeavyMetalMouse 4 года назад

Why are we multiplying the ladder and snake expectations by 1/2? If there are 10 Ladder spaces, the probability that you land on one of them, without knowing your square of origin, is about 10/99 (no roll can make you land on Square 1). If there are 11 Snake spaces, the probability that you land on one of them, without knowing your square of origin, is about 11/99 (same reason). Shouldn't that expectation be, then: 1/6 + 2/6 + 3/6 + 4/6 + 5/6 + 6/6 + (10/99)x11.8 - (11/99)x35.27 ~= 3.5 + 1.192 - 3.919 = 0.773 This implies that, if you were to average the progress made on every roll during a game, you'd be making less than one square of progress per roll on average. As such. you're looking at an expected value of about 129.4 rolls from one person. This is likely an over-estimate of the average due to the 'averaging out' of all the snakes over the board making the 'edges' of the distribution fuzzier. In theory, it should be possible to figure out an exact representation of the expected progress of a move given what square you're on, and then use some stochastic analysis to figure out your probability of being on Square X after N moves... It's certainly a tricky game to analyze by hand.

@jakubedzior 4 года назад

We are multiplying by 1/2 because after some steps chance of stepping on snakes or ladders is no longer 10/100 or 11/100 cause you already got past some of them. For simplification I just multiplied by 1/2.

@HeavyMetalMouse 4 года назад

@@jakubedzior Ah! That is a fairly reasonable justification, yes. In that case, we'd be looking at an average number of rolls of 99/2.15 ~= 46 rolls or so.

If you played by the rule that you must roll exactly what you need to get to the exit, you'd have an equal chance of winning as landing on that final snake each time you were within 6 spaces of 100. Just an interesting thought.

The funny thing is, instead of telling people, "Don't buy bare cells ever", they should be promoting and teaching battery safety. Li-Ion cells can be used in all kinds of maker applications. LG Chem just doesn't want to educate the consumers about how to keep their products safe. If you know what you're doing, and make sure that the cells are safe to use at all times, such as inspecting the cells for wrap damage prior to each installation of the cells, re-wrapping as necessary, or having someone familiar with the re-wrapping process do it for you, making sure that you keep any loose cells you may be carrying with you (such as an extra set of cells in the case of vapers) in an appropriate battery box, you're pretty much fine. This is fearmongering. Just like any technology, there are risks involved, yes, but as long as you educate yourself about those risks, and make sure you have proper safety protocols for that technology in place, you're fine. Do your homework.
