This game shall train your ability to quickly check numbers and to assess which of five risky options you should take.\
At the start of program press
\b skip month
\b0 once.\
After that you must take one
\b action
\b0 per month \
(A, B, C, D or E). \
Each action has a
\b cost
\b0 (this is what you must invest) \
and a success probability (
\b success probab.
\b0 ).\
If your chosen action is successful, you get back the sum shown under expected return (
\b exp. return
\b0 ).\
Your
\b profit
\b0 is the difference between the money invested and the gained return from your action.\
Every month the money you do
\i not
\i0 invest in an action loses value according to the inflation rate. So the capital shown is real (inflation-corrected) value. Therefore the growth of your capital is less than your profit from the last month, because the money you didn`t invest suffered
\b inflation loss
\b0 .\
The column
\b eval.
\b0 tries to evaluate the best possible action. If you want to follow eval`s recommendation, choose the action with the largest eval value. \
Try to enlarge your capital by keeping the
\b mean profit per month in %
\b0 greater than 0. If you attain a value greater than one percent after a period of two years (24 months) you are a good player. The larger the % value the better you have played (or the more luck you had). You are really good if you do not need the eval column any more.\
Sometimes you have no choice, but to invest in an action which will lose money. Don`t worry - you cannot win at ALL times.\
If you try to avoid choice by pressing
\b skip month
\b0 , your computer-simulated employees will choose for you (not necessarily better than you, athough they do their best).
