We now explain, in details, how your submitted guess is used to determine whether you win the $3 bonus:
- The computer chooses two numbers between 1 and 100, where each number is equally likely, as if rolling two 100-sided dice. These numbers are called Computer Number A and Computer Number B.
-
The computer determines whether you win the $3 bonus according to whether the unemployment rate in year X was lower than y%. If:
- The unemployment rate in year X was lower than y%: You win the $3 bonus if your submitted guess is greater than or equal to either of the two Computer Numbers.
- The unemployment rate in year X was higher than or equal to y%: You win the $3 bonus if your submitted guess is less than either of the two Computer Numbers.
