I was playing Higher or Lower at the Game Center, I bid 100 GC. Let me put down that template before I start my suggestion.
Lets say the Higher or Lower game said 8, mathematical logic would prove it would be, lets say, lower, as you can only go 2 higher, but you can go 7 lower. Chances are, it should be that the answer is lower.
But then it says I am, wrong? Why does this game have to based off full luck? :o It makes me skeptical. :/
And, sometimes, if it was the number 3, and I said Higher, it would say I would be wrong..again?
Could you make this more of mathematical logic? If you do implement this, I wouldn't care about the number 5 being luck based, as there is no certain mathematical answer for 5.
Also, along with this suggestion, could you make it a little cheaper to get 100 game chips for the Game Center? Like 100 PD = 100 GC (If you don't like this mini-suggestion for the GC being cheaper, I can guess why, I could also understand if this whole suggestion altogether wasn't implemented :) )

I think it would be a better idea to make another game based on mathematical logic. I'd support that. x3

The 2nd one was suggested and probably rejected.

About the 1st suggestion, if we were to make it based off of Mathematical Logic, then people who are Professional at Math can easily reach the Ranklist, which would make it not fair. It's better to keep it as luck, rather than using Mathematical Probabilities.. unless Riako already did that but we didn't realize it.

Book, I suppose you have a point.
But then, as I say, number 5 would be based off luck, maybe as soon as you got to five you could lose, so that would still hold a bit of luck mixed?

The game on here is played with a random number generator. It's like playing it in real life, it's not going to fit mathematical probability all the time. It is luck based with probability stating that going higher is better or going lower is better.

It seems to be similar to the pikachu higher or lower game from a little mini-game system thingy that I used to own. Most of the time I didn't get past a row of three because it would break probability, but it was a game. At least this one on the site isn't that evil, so I think you should just put up with it.

Also, it's the same as playing higher or lower in real life with a deck of cards. Mathmatical probability only gets you so far, since it WILL eventually break that just based on luck.

So little support. Now I really doubt this will be implemented. X3 I just thought it was annoying as you need lots of PD and lots of luck to get lots of right answers in a row, I think it isn't right.

Actually this game does use mathematical logic - it uses propabilities, which is Math.
Let's say if the first number is 9.
Then the chance of winning with the answer "Lower" is ~91%.
And the chance of winning with the answer "Higher" is ~9%.

Where is the point in the game when the chance of winning is always 100% and you only have to select the more logical answer?
Of course such games exist and are perfectly well done, but definitely not for a very simple Higher or Lower game.

@Riako, oh, OK then, so this shouldn't be implemented then, OK.

So that's why you didn't put 1 and 10, because they have a 100% chance! I feel dumb now .-.

but then what about raylong,then would that mean you ccouldstart a new game and continue the 15 without restarting
