The actual object I have in the code that stores everything is called MultiGameAnalysis (each single one is a GameAnalysis), so heck, I'm using it in the thread title too.  No, I don't have a glorious report on every notable thing ever about the show right now, and won't for a long while. But I've progressed enough to create an index page and post a good look at maingame duds for all shows so far, so enjoy, and let's use this thread and this thread only for discussion pertaining to this now - I'm starting to clutter this board... |

L wasn't particularly shocking to me, but S sure was. You'd think with plurality and stuff you'd see it a lot more. |

Don't forget that there are some duds that we don't see because of editing, but this still is quite interesting. I'd consider changing it to say "Aired duds," though.

I hope you guys enjoy what I've put together just now - go to the analyses page. This is the first time I've really lived up to my custom title.

A very nice first analysis.
I completely agree with your point about the Free Play wedge being used for vowels too often.
If there's a letter I know there is 3 of on the board, I can buy all the vowels with that money!
I question how valid the consonant puzzle dissection is without something on the average length of the puzzles in each round.

That's something that I can develop easily with the tools I built up... what do you have in mind? A simple average puzzle length for each round over is all that is needed. For example, you mention that there were 48 N's in R1, 65 in R2, 45 in R3, and 40 in R4. It would seem like there are significantly more N's in R2 than all the others. But if we note that R2's (on average) are longer, then this might only be a function of puzzle length and not a shift like we would think. Another approach would be to divide the number of N's by total number of letters in each round over all games, and then this "% of N's" statistic between each round can easily be compared. |

Looking at the Prize Puzzle stats...
50/65 maingames (77%) were won by the PP winner.
Of those 50, the PP put the winner over the top in 19 of them (38%).
Those are pretty high numbers in their own right, but I thought they'd be even higher. Of course, we have had three car winners and some big wheel prizes to offset it a bit. Thanks for updating us on everything, Wayo, and I look forward to seeing the stats evolve as the rest of the season unfolds!

Very interesting. It appears blue is the luckiest spot. Very suprising numbers regarding Wild Card losses.

Hi all,
We're near the midpoint of the season... I'm thinking of saving another big analysis dump until the second trimester (show 130 - 7 more weeks), though. Here's something I worked on today though in the meantime:
===================
1st A of AMERICA'S: 3/5
M of AMERICA'S: 1/2
E of AMERICA'S: 0/6
R of AMERICA'S: 0/4
I of AMERICA'S: 2/4
C of AMERICA'S: 0/3
2nd A of AMERICA'S: 0/3
': 2/4
S of AMERICA'S: 0/1
*: 3/6
G of GAME: 1/2
A of GAME: 2/3
M of GAME: 2/4
E of GAME: 4/9
**: 0/3
S of SPIN: 3/7
P of SPIN: 0/2
I of SPIN: 1/4
N of SPIN: 0/2
&: 2/8
W of WIN: 0/1
I of WIN: 1/2
N of WIN: 1/5
***: 1/3
TOTAL: 29/93
$30000: 13/41
VEHICLE: 3/15
$35000: 6/13
$40000: 3/7
$45000: 2/10
$50000: 2/4
$100000: 0/3
TOTAL: 29/93

The full season analysis (a.k.a. text dump) was put up. I hope to advance things further this summer as well.

The Express was ridden once!
R3 called letters again: R, O, E, A, C, L, F, S, I, N, D, G, V
1. YELLOW risked $3000, called 12 letters (O to V), and found 9 consonant(s) in the puzzle while calling 4 vowel(s), successfully completing the ride for a net earnings of $8000. |

Man Wayoshi, do you update this every day? That's AMAZING! What date was that aforementioned Express ride?

^ That was the first Express ride from #5852. So I have S31 completed, but I'm working on some advanced Express stats and updating formatting before I post. In particular, I'm making BarCharts look much neater. For Mario's pleasure, "the pink bankrupt magnet" in the past 3 seasons: Wild Card:
Not picked up | 27
Used | 34
Bankrupted after claimed | 158
Lost maingame | 87
Went to BR | 56
-------------------------|----
TOTAL | 362 |

I have updated all three of my full season analyses, with a few errors corrected, and with better formatting. (There are still some errors I will correct later... I cross-checked with the Compendium recently and found there's quite a few minor discrepancies, and some a bit more major, such as counting a toss-up missolve as a solve a couple times.) One improvement is adjusting the spin location chart by 1/24ths for the proper season (e.g. MDW was over 550/purple $500 #2, then moved to pink 500 last season; now I have a mechanism to get a wedge's location by season correctly).
I am thinking of posting my multi-season analysis this weekend (basically all 585 shows I've done so far, in the same format as previous full season analyses) and writing up my own comments on particular sections. 3 seasons and nearly 1/10th of the entire syndicated run really should be a strong sample size to confirm, or deconfirm, interesting trends.
