1 Appendix III 1 Chr. Huygens Pages T. XIV [1665] J[an] has 2 white tokens and 1 black, but 1 white and 2 black. And each in his turn chooses blindly one of his tokens. The one who obtains a black token must add a (ducat) to the stake, but the one who obtains a white token receives all that which has been set. And chooses first, when there is yet nothing in the stake. One demands how much is the advantage or the disadvantage of at the beginning of he game. Resp. J wins of a ducat. #!( % + is the advantage of when he has set! against! and when must choose., Jan "! - " ". Jan # " / # # 0 Jan # 1 2 % â This appendix is taken from pages of Manuscript C; these pages were numbered 1-3 by Huygens. One finds there the solution of a problem posed by Huygens in a letter to Hudde of 10 May We add that this problem was a modification of another problem proposed by Hudde to Huygens in the letter of 5 May We remark that Huygens has therefore supposed, in beginning these calculations, that the advantage would be found on the side of, but that the calculations have taught the contrary to him. 3 Further down in the manuscript these previous definitions are continued further by introducing the letters 3ß A, b, d but these latter definitions have been suppressed. 1

One sees therefore that Huygens supposes that the game will continue if Jean takes a white token on the first coup. Now, this assumption has given place to a new misunderstanding between Hudde and him, since Hudde considered that the game was ended in this case. According to this last interpretation one would have therefore 5 œ!þ 6 Indeed, it is evident that the advantage of one of the players is always equal to the disadvantage of the other. 7 Suppressed, here and in the following, are some calculations entirely analogous to those which precede. 2

If descending magnitudes are in continuous geometric ratio the greatest will be with the all remaining to infinity to the greatest alone as the greatest is to the excess of the maximum beyond the following. Therefore if they are as 4 to 1 the greatest will be with all to the greatest as 4 to 3. If they are as 9 to 2, the greatest will be with the whole to the greatest as 9 to * 7, or the greatest with the whole will be of the greatest. % ) "' # )" (#* '&'" &*! ) "' # (#* '&'" &*!
