The "I won Dwarfs" thread

26856 entries for 2000 keys. Dividing it, that should be about a 1 in 13.4 chance of winning. Compared to most public giveaways, that was fairly good odds. However, I didn't win. :( Oh well, I won Sanctum last night. :)

Really? I thought it was a 1 in 26856 chance for the first winner then 1 in 26855 for the next down to 1 in 24856 for the 2000th

It would be 2000 in 26856, then 1999 in 26855....etc. I stuck it into WolframAlpha and look at the exact solution

That's assuming of course that the system picks the winners one after another and not simultaneously, which I presume would be a different number. I'm not entirely sure since probability was never my strong point in maths.

I'm not 100% sure what you wanted to do, but the number is obviously way off.

Yeah, figured that, but I'm still in bed and it's way too early to be doing maths for me.

Think I need to sum up that sequence of numbers. I just did the probability of being the last person to win Dwarfs.

I calculated the both probabilities above. I think you are making it too hard.

You need to install it manually, go into your items in your computer, and then you need to search the dwarfs install I think.
I had that too, but I forgot what I did.
Probably what I just said

Ty found solution at steam forum. You need to install XNA framework manually. Or it might be an issue with .net framework
Game requires at least 3.5 net and 3.1 xna
