Greed Control is a game on the Art of Problem Solving where you must select a number in a certain range. Once the day is complete, you earn points equal to the number you picked divided by the number of people who picked it, such that a lower number may earn more points. Like Reaper, the key is to strike where no one else is.

Every day while a game is being played, you have the option to input a number into a box. At the end of the day, these numbers are compiled. Your score from one day is determined by the number divided by the number of people who picked it. If you pick 20 and 4 other people pick it, you will get five points. However, if you picked 9 and only you picked it, you will get 9 points. Most games are set to end after someone accumulates 2000 points.

Greed Control Brief Documentation

The game of Greed Control is based on a simple forum game. Every day, pick an integer number between the numbers shown on the game page. For example, a number between 1 and 31.

At the end of the day, which is defined as midnight eastern time, 9 pm pacific, a calculation is performed to determine how many points you earn. The number of points is defined by (number picked) / (number of people choosing the number).

For example, if 4 people choose the number 20, each will receive 20 / 4 = 5 points. If only 1 person chooses the number 9, that person will receive 9 / 1 = 9 points. Notice how even though the person who chose 9 picked a number less than 20, that person still gains more points as the number 9 was picked less.

The current game is set to end when someone reaches 314 points.
