Where do those bank offers come from in Deal or No Deal? What's the chance of spinning bankrupt on Wheel of Fortune? Game show questions lead to topics in probability, statistics, and game theory. We'll examine game shows from the dual perspectives of players and designers. Audience members will win prizes whether they want them or not!
