hello. My request is to know the statistical chance of a battleship game to come down to the last "attack". For example I, player a, have two spots left to guess because I hit one of his two battleship spots. He has only one attack left as he has hit my battle ship and only has one open attack left so essentially there is a 50% chance if I win or not. What are the statistical chance this happens and please no trolls.

Sorry, you lost too many of the pegs, so if the game doesn't end early you just have to put it away again without playing the last turns.

Every drat time we just want a nice family game you have to come up with all this math stuff. Every goddamn time. I am so sick of your bullshit Timmy. Go to your room.

When my four yr old nephew plays Hungry Hungry Hippos he's not satisfied to merely win the game; his hippo must consume all the marbles and leave his three hippo brethren to starve. He also likes trains a lot. Odds of him spending here someday?

I made my battleships out of repurposed Tetris pieces to get a further edge on my opponents, good luck taking shots at my S-shaped battleship.

No question mark in OP. Just statements. Therefore my answer is purple.

0% because no one plays that dumb game. How big is the grid on that game? 14 X 14? 10 X 10? You could definitely get a real answer by asking in the math questions thread in Science, Academics, and Languages. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2347479

well it's simple you see. take a binomial distributionm across the 14x14 grid, subtract the number of pins that are "hits," modulate for the tendancy to continue aiming near a prior hit (Stassens has reported a mod of .3, but van Leuwensdyk disagrees and says it's around .41) and poof. Oh and op your mom sunk my battleship, and it wasn't the last shot at all.
