What are the Odds?

 After a long and discouraging series of failed "dream projects", our team finally decided to go for something purely fun rather than technologically innovative. What are the Odds? was born as a game played amongst our group of friends, and this application allows one to bring it into the digital format. In What are the Odds?, any number of players may enter the game upon initialization, after which players take turns proposing "challenges". A regular "Challenge" involves simply making a task that could be fulfilled by a single person while a "Special Challenge" is one which involves having a single person perform a task to or with another player. After a challenge type selection is made, the appropriate number of players are randomly selected. At this point the primary challenged (the person who must perform the given task) will a pick a number denoting what the odds are that he/she would like to take against this task, approved of by the group, against one (e.g. if the task were to to be eating five burritos in five minutes, I may make the odds 1 to 15). Once the number against one is given, the challenged is to pick a number in the given range. If the computer picks the same number, the challenged must then go through with the challenge. If it does not, the challenged goes off scot free. We see that the challenged indeed has, theoretically, one-in-x odds for selected x since he/she must perform the challenge in x/x^2 = 1/x of the outcomes of the game. After this, the players are given the option to play another round or exit. We hope that, through this application, we can spread the fun of What are the Odds to people everywhere.
