NAME

ladder - what separates one rung of the bot from the next

SYNOPSIS

perl -Ilib bin/ladder --deals 2000 --seed-prefix durak-ladder

DESCRIPTION

Plays every pair of rungs against each other, half the deals with the seats the other way round so that an advantage in opening cannot be mistaken for a rung's strength, and reports three instruments.

The fool rate is the primary one, with a two sigma interval: the result of a deal is one bit, so a difference smaller than the interval is not a difference.

Cards held when losing is the senior instrument. A bot that loses holding two cards is playing a different game from one that loses holding nine, and the rate alone cannot tell them apart.

Bouts after the talon emptied is reported and not asserted: it is the part of the deal where the rungs differ most, and it explains the other two.
