I Can the Housie Game Incorporate Negative and Decimal Numbers?

AI Thread Summary
Incorporating negative and decimal numbers into the Housie game is viewed as an unnecessary complication, primarily because it deviates from the traditional format. Some participants suggest that such changes could be beneficial in an educational context, but they believe the appeal would be limited as players may quickly lose interest. Others argue that the game can be adapted creatively, even using images, but emphasize that alternatives like Periodic Table Bingo might be more suitable for educational purposes. Overall, the consensus leans towards maintaining the simplicity of the original game structure. The discussion highlights the tension between innovation and tradition in game design.

Can the Housie game be redesigned by including negative numbers and decimal numbers with the positive numbers?

Examples :
-5,-43,-67,-90 etc
6.5, 7.3,76.2,45.3 etc

If No, Why?

Thanks & Regards,
Prashant S Akerkar

Why would you want to do this?

It seems an unnecessary complication to the game.

The only reason I can think of is to use the game in an educational context but even then it would have limited use as kids would quickly grow out of it.
 
Of course it can, it can even be played with images of animals. However for these forums Periodic Table Bingo would be more appropriate.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
