Imagine entering a bingo parlor where one thousand cards are in play. âIâll bet that the winning card is horizontal instead of vertical,â a man says. Should you take the bet? Or suppose youâve reached Final Jeopardy! with $7,000 to your opponentsâ $8,000 and $4,000. What should you wager? Or imagine youâre at the blackjack table. The dealerâs up card is a four, and youâve been dealt a jack and a two. Should you hit or should you stand? In How to Win, New York Times best-selling mathematician Art Benjamin answers these questions and many more. Breaking down the mathematics of games and puzzles, he finds winning strategies, hidden paradoxes, and profound ideas. He shows us the best opening guesses and follow-up moves in Wordle, an easy way to solve a Rubikâs Cube and almost any sudoku, and how to determine which games at the casino will let your money last the longest. And he reveals how the same math extends to everyday life, enabling us to transcend luck in whatever we do. Now thatâs a winning proposition.
