An easy python reproduction and modification of the 2022 Ig Nobel Prize for Economics
"Which Is More Important: Talent or Luck?"
- There are N_people people in the town with different talent. Each person has a starting property 10
- There are N_luck luck events and N_unluck unlucky events randomly occur in the town at every iteration
- When a person meets a lucky event, the property is doubled based on talent
- When a person meets an unlucky event, the property becomes half
- Lucky event cannot occur if unlucky event occurs
- Lucky event occurs if it is within an individual's vision
N_people = 1000
N_luck = 250
N_unluck = 250
Distribution of Talent and vision :
Note: Talent distribution and Vision distribution are independent
The final property is not so relevent to talent.
The final property is very relevent to vision.
The final property is not so relevent to talent*vision
The idea of adding vision factor comes from my understanding of an YouTube video made by 老高與小茉
