Did team SNAIL win the last challenge also?
It did, and @nmcp1 won the auction with 1 million shells!

Some of the finalists asked that their picks be given to Team SNAIL. How does that kind of generosity take any of the fun out of the contest?Did I count 30 picks for TEAM SNAIL? Kinda takes the fun out of it for me.

I can understand where his concerns and opinions come from. It dramatically changes the odds of winning.
Actually, from a statistics standpoint, any one person's odds do not change. If you have a 5% chance of winning, it doesn't matter who has the other 95%.
But TEAM SNAIL now has the greatest advantage of winning with 30%. There's a far greater chance that this will turn into another bidding war instead of chance. That's less fun in my opinion.
I'm not arguing fairness at all, I don't think it's unfair. I just personally feel that it's more fun when someone wins at the end of the race. Which could still happen, but that's no longer statistically probable.
Also something to think about is who could really use it. Many racers have a nice rig while others that have a wheel have some kind of make shift contraption. I think the donation of their picks so someone who could really use has a chance shows great sportsmanship.
Not everyone can afford to build or buy a rig.
You show a good understanding of statistics and probabilty above, but then you leave me scratching my head with this:Actually, from a statistics standpoint, any one person's odds do not change. If you have a 5% chance of winning, it doesn't matter who has the other 95%.
You realize that a 70% chance is pretty good probability, right?I'm not arguing fairness at all, I don't think it's unfair. I just personally feel that it's more fun when someone wins at the end of the race. Which could still happen, but that's no longer statistically probable.

yes but if you have an awesome rig and win it you can donate it to the team snail snail for less program!Also something to think about is who could really use it.

I nominate turnup for a gift of a rig if the situation ever presented it self. He uses his controller with great skill. Just think what he could with a rig.
