Patent ID: 8087989

Claim:
Apparatus for making a sought-after choice more likely to be obtained by a participant from a group of choices in a game based on mathematical probability using an electronic device, comprising the steps of asking the participant to make a mandatory selection of a single choice from the group of choices; permitting the participant to first divide the group of choices in two groups in order to create a small group, wherein the small group can be of a single choice and can also be of multiple choices; requiring the participant to make the mandatory selection of the single choice from the large group of choices; randomly eliminating by said electronic device all but two choices, wherein the two choices that survive the random elimination must include the sought-after choice and the mandatory selection of the single choice from the large group of choices, wherein if the mandatory selection of the single choice is also the sought-after choice any other choice must survive the random elimination, wherein one group of the two groups of choices must completely disappear after the random elimination; giving the participant an option to elect one out of the two choices.
