Frequently Asked Questions
Have another question? Let us know.
How does the money calculation work?
Based on the Zhihu question premise: you earn 100 million yuan per millisecond survived. The total is calculated as survival time × 1000 × 100 million.
What do the different probabilities mean?
Higher probabilities (1 in million) mean shorter expected survival but faster results. Lower probabilities (1 in billion) mean much longer expected survival times.
Is this scientifically accurate?
The probability calculations use proper geometric distribution mathematics, but this is a theoretical simulation for educational and entertainment purposes only.
What's the expected survival time?
Expected survival time equals 1 divided by the death probability. For 1 in 100 million, that's about 3.17 years on average.
The Death Probability Simulator is an interesting game based on probability theory. Every second, the system generates a random number, and if this number falls within a specific range (1 in 100 million probability), the game ends. This game allows you to intuitively experience the occurrence of extremely low probability events.
How does the game work?
1. Click the start button to launch the simulator 2. Every second the system performs a "life or death determination" 3. Each determination has a 1 in 100 million probability of "death" 4. The game records your survival time 5. When a "death" event occurs, the game ends and displays results
Probability Theory Knowledge
This game demonstrates important concepts in probability theory: - Independent events: Each determination is independent - Low probability events: Although the probability is small, they will always occur - Expected value: Theoretically, the average survival time is about 100,000,000 seconds (about 3.17 years) - Randomness: Actual results may be much higher or lower than expected values
Educational Significance
Through this simple game, you can: - Understand basic concepts of probability theory - Experience the unpredictability of random events - Think about the preciousness and uncertainty of life - Learn about the application of statistics in daily life
