I Can the Housie Game Incorporate Negative and Decimal Numbers?

Click For 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,

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 'erroneously finding discrepancy in transpose rule'

Obviously, there is something elementary I am missing here. To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so the transpose of a scalar, considered as (or isomorphic to) a one-entry matrix, should stay the same, including if the scalar is a complex number. On the other hand, in the isomorphism between the complex plane and the real plane, a complex number a+bi corresponds to a matrix in the real plane; taking the transpose we get which then corresponds to a-bi...
