Hi all!
This is more of a math question, but I thought I might be able to get the answer here. I would like to create a Bingo Simulator that will allow me to predict the approximate number of draws it will take to get BINGO.
Bingo is typically played on a 5x5 grid, with 75 possible draws (B1 through O75). Given this, the number of draws necessary to get a bingo, would be dependent on the number of (random) cards in play--the more cards in play, the less draws it will take to achieve a BINGO. I would like to be able to simulate the length of the game in draws, by plugging in the variables below:
CardsInPlay (number of randomly-generated cards in play)
BoardSize (size of the grid 5x5, 4x4 etc.)
PossibleDraws (number of unique values, or "bingo balls")
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
