Abstract
In this paper, we consider how probability theory can be used to determine
the survival strategy in two of the ``Squid Game" and ``Squid Game: The
Challenge" challenges: the Hopscotch and the Warships. We show how Hopscotch
can be easily tackled with the knowledge of the binomial distribution, taught
in introductory statistics courses, while Warships is a much more complex
problem, which can be tackled at different levels.
