Double Dealing: The Mathematics of Deal or No Deal, Part 2

It's time for our second episode about the mathematics of Deal or No Deal. At the end of Part 1, Noah asked Pete if The Banker follows certain set rules or patterns when deciding how much to offer contestants, and a challenge was born. Is it possible to use data from past shows to devise an algorithm that can predict the offers? Stay tuned as Pete takes Noah along on his mathematical journey in search of a model that works.
