Answers: How do you calculate winning probabilities in a rock-paper-scissors style game with unequal odds?

• probability fundamentals
• game theory
• math puzzles
• statistics
• counter-intuitive probabilities

What it concludes

• Disk A is guaranteed to beat disk B or C in a single match-up due to having over 50% chance of summoning a level 3 burgersaur.
• Multiple fights increase the odds that a disk with weaker individual stats will summon something better, making misleading statistics useful for counter-intuitive results.
