In your post, I see a description of the game.
Which part of this description is unclear to you and should be explained ?


By the way, the three lines in your post do not comprise a Math problem,
because there is no a question in it.


Should I explain you, that every existing Math problem must have a question ?


Notice that your question
    Can someone please explain this to me?

is not a part of the posted "problem", so, it is not part of the problem itself . . .


If you want help, then take a labor to print the problem IN FULL, including its question,
and do not force the tutors to spend their time for nothing, explaining you OBVIOUS things.


Respect the tutors and respect yourself.

Comment from student : Are you serious? I DID PRINT THE QUESTION IN FULL.
I cannot believe how rude you're being.
I am just now learning this type of math. What does that have to do with respecting myself?


My response : Read again your post and my answer above.

I am absolutely serious.

And if you decide to post another comment or question to me, then bring your apologies first.
