The Great Snail Race Game!!!

In room 20 we have been learning about probability. We decided to play a game to help us understand probability a bit better. The game is called the snail race.

The rules are:
You set up a board Like the ones we were playing with
And then everyone picks two numbers out of the hat the numbers shouldbe from 1-12. You  Take turns at rolling the two dice. Say I got a 4 and a 6.
Well 4 and 6=10 so the snail that is number ten move up once
place on the board You keep playing to 3 snails have crossed the finish line.
Then You record your answer.
We played two games are results were:
In the first Game
                 Number 7 won
                 Number 8 2nd
                 Number 3 3rd
In the Second Game:
                 Number 7 won
                 Number 5 2nd
                 Number 6 3rd

When we played we found that some numbers had disadvantages and some major advantages
Such as 1 was never going to be moved and 12 could only be moved if we got a 6 and a 6
Then there were numbers like 7 that won lot's because there are lots of ways to get seven like 1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4. We found out that snail number 7 is the best number to get because it has a 6/36 chance of winning this is the higher chance out of all of the other snails take a look:
1) 0 chance
2) 1/36 chance
3) 2/36 chance
4) 3/36
5) 4/36
6) 5/36
7) 6/36!!!!!
8) 5/36
9) 4/36
10) 3/36
11) 2/36
12) 1/36
We found this out by using this table that shows us all the possible outcomes of rolling 2 die.
