Measuring Luck We’ll measure luck like this: Everyone needs to predict what number is going to appear next (between 2 and 8). If you get it right, you get 1 luck point. If you get a second one right, you get 2 luck points etc So if you get 2 numbers right, you get 3 points altogether, if you get 3 numbers right, you get 6 luck points altogether. We’ll do it 10 times.
