Krypto (game)

More detailed analysis of the game can raise more complex statistical questions.

The first player to solve the problem declares "Krypto" and has 30 seconds to explain the answer.

Players receive double their previous hand score each time they "Krypto" repetitively in sequence.

When players "Krypto" in error, they receive a minus one (-1) in the score box for that hand.

Many programs exist on the internet that can generate six numbers and allow one to manipulate them with arithmetic operations.

Because of the simple nature of the game, it is easy to program krypto on most scientific calculators.

At any time, either player may return their hand face down to the table and pick up another one - as often as they want.

When only one hand remains on the table, it is opened face up and the players mentally (without touching the cards) try for a Krypto.

As an optional second round, replace all hands face down and use ZERO as the new goal.
