    School Name: Santa Rosa High School!

    Area of Science: Chaos!

    Project Title: Exploring The Predictability of Game Shows!

Abstract
Interim
Final Report

Some people have heard of the game of chance "plinko" on the game show "The Price Is Right". Our project is to simulate the game, using the programming language C++. We will design the game board and change the initial conditions of the plinko game piece to try to determine the landing place of the plinko chip. In doing this, we hope to find the best possible initial conditions to win the grand total $50,000. We will study this chaotic system in order to find predicability in a seemingly random game.
