Probability Math Puzzles

About this game

This app offers over 90 probability math puzzles in three levels, from beginner to advanced. The intro puzzles are straightforward but some of the puzzles will be very challenging, even for people who have studied college-level probability -- try answering them all! If you get stuck, there's a hint at the bottom of each page, and you can easily skip puzzles (and return to them later) by swiping horizontally. Have fun!

This app is great practice for quantitative interviews (including quant, finance and tech interviews), for college-level probability classes, or for anyone interested in mathematical puzzles.

I've included a math parser so that you can type equations as answers: if the answer is 0.49^2, for example, you can type 0.49^2 or 0.49*0.49 without having to work out the multiplication yourself. Enjoy!

Ratings and reviews

Extremely beautiful, meaningful, and valuable probability puzzles. If you are a student who is learning probability, or if you are a math (in this case probabilities) enthusiast, you will find this incomparably good. You will see lots of "classics", accompanied by other similarly engaging puzzles. Just grab a pen and several pieces of scratch paper. You don't need a calculator either. The program supports factorials and C(n, r) function.

The game starts out deceiving simple bit soon gets more difficult (and interesting). I was college professor, teaching statistical analysis and this game was a wonderful experience and review. I would certainly recommend it to even a beginner to the study of probability math as well as high school and college students studying probabilities as well as math majors.

Lots of interesting problems. The topic might better be described as combinatorics instead of probability. Fun way to pass time on the train. Need paper for a few problems though. Some of the images don't show in the hints though, for example, in the hint for the second to last puzzle at the hardest level.
