Hello,
at a fairground, I played a game called the 6 pucks. The goal is to cover a circle (I think it is about 20 cm) with 6 smaller circles (I think each is 10 cm). It's possible because the game operator did it several times in front of me!
The method is to form a triangle with the disks.
Could someone give me the exact sizes of the disks?
I believe the ratio is 1.7895...

When the fairground operator demonstrates, he takes discs large enough for it to work (Disc diameter > 1/1.799). Then, when it's your turn, he discreetly gives you discs that are too small... It's a matter of a few millimeters, so it's almost invisible to the naked eye.
As a result, it's impossible for you!! Conclusion: it's a SCAM!!!!!

I've already observed this game!!
In reality, when you play, the barker shows you that you left little holes!!
When he does it with the same discs, he also makes a little hole but he quickly removes it so you don't see it!!
I had fun telling him that it wasn't good that there was a hole, he said yes I was too quick and he did it again 3 times without success!! He kindly made me leave!!! So it's impossible, it's a scam!!!

Hello,
I was at the fair in Pamiers, I spent hours watching this game. I trained for two days on the website http://llik.fr/, then I practiced on paper. Confident, I went to the funfair. The game costs 10 euros. As soon as I asked the carny to demonstrate, by looking closely FROM ABOVE, he never covers the entire circle, as it's impossible. And when it's your turn, you lose, which is normal, there will always be an uncovered space, probably due to the diameters of the discs or circles. It's pure and simple scam. Check the carny's demo for yourself before playing.

Hello,
I studied the thing very well, I practiced at home with the minimum size (ratio 1.795), I became a machine, I was succeeding three out of four times.
When I went to the funfair, I played for real to win a MacBook Pro, my first three discs were perfectly placed, the next two as well, and when I tried to place the last one, I saw how far I was, at least half a square centimeter missing.
I then played naïve, asking for a demo, the guy agreed, and succeeded, I paid again to play, and I saw that the guy was giving me different discs (with great agility), I asked him the question, the guy freaked out, gave me back my 20 euros, and asked me to get lost... he didn’t want to show me the discs....
it's simply a huge scam....
When it’s to win a stuffed toy or a crappy guitar (they give you the right discs, and when it's for expensive things, like a computer, you get the bad discs....)
Game to avoid!!!

I went there yesterday and I won with the camcorder. They say that they give you good disks when it's small objects, but that's false because first you pay, then they give you the disks, and after that you choose what you want. It's super simple; you just need some practice like with everything else.
But try the three-pallet game; it's one pallet with the object of your choice and three pallets to throw that are the same size, so it's easier, and plus the panel is tilted at 30 degrees or something like that.

After playing this game unsuccessfully, I practiced with a reproduction with the right setup... I was making almost every shot, and at the fair, I tested the game. I had the same cups as him, and on the second attempt, I succeeded. So it's not impossible, but the carnival worker was surprised and got angry, saying there were holes when it was him who had moved the cups!!! I never got my prize!!!
NO! I repeat that the ratio between the disk to be hidden and the disks we place is at maximum: 1.79528.
This figure is called a certrieq.
Look here: http://mathenjeans.free.fr/amej/edition/actes/actespdf/95031035.pdf
Be careful, the final calculation is wrong :) but you can redo it starting from the final formula.

Yes, I have already tried this game but unfortunately I lost, but I was almost there! Do you know the exact measurements of the circles?
Hello :)
I'm bringing this topic back up because I made a rather interesting discovery about the game of 6 discs:
The famous site that provides tips is very interesting because it allows you to recreate the game in full size for practice, but there is a crucial detail that is missing when comparing the "homemade" discs and the ones used by fairground operators: the material.
Indeed, even if your discs are laminated, they will not behave the same physically as the real discs. Let me explain: the discs used by fairground operators are made of metal, which makes them rigid and quite heavy. Yours are probably made of paper.
Stacking paper discs won't pose too much of a problem, but when you place the metal discs, air pressure forms underneath the disc, making the placement more delicate as if the discs were sitting on ball bearings. The discs that are already placed may also shift due to the air effect.
Practicing is one thing, but you also need to be agile and place the discs with care.

Yes, the report is exactly what the first message says:
1.7795
it only takes a few tenths of a millimeter too much for it to be impossible.

Indeed, even if your pucks are made of laminated paper, they will not behave in the same way physically as the real pucks. Let me explain: the pucks used by fairground operators are made of metal, so they are rigid and quite heavy. Yours are probably made of paper.
Stacking paper pucks won't be too much of a problem, but when you place the metal pucks, air pressure builds up underneath the puck, making placement more delicate as if the pucks were placed on ball bearings. The already placed pucks may also move due to the airflow.
Practicing is one thing, but you also need to be agile and place the pucks carefully.

Good evening everyone!
I've been obsessed with this game since I discovered it last week, and I'm sure it's possible! But tricky! I think that to increase our chances, we really need to take every little detail into account! First of all, when the carnie does it, he is facing us, so we need to put ourselves in his shoes. Personally, I started by placing a disc at the top of the circle because I saw him start there, but actually, we should probably place the first disc at the bottom of the circle. We get a better view of the whole thing, and it's more in line with how the carnie does it. Then, I think we need to be very careful about proportions, to imagine and base ourselves on semi-circles, lines, triangles, etc. Finally, regarding the size of the discs, I have to say I was extremely skeptical when the carnie presented this game to us, and I tried to observe all his movements. After showing me how to do it, he took the discs back and immediately handed them to me, mentioning that I would use the same ones as him, so logically no trickery at this level. I remain quite unconfident about carnival games, but I think it’s still possible to win this game! I lost the first time because I didn't take my time and made silly mistakes, but I want to try again! And this time I want to come home with a prize!

I confirm, this game is a huge scam. I played it but it showed me before that there was a small gap left, and when I told him, he said no. I said look, and he said yes, it fits. When I tried, I succeeded, but the gap that remained was actually a little bit smaller than it, and he refused even though his was bigger than mine. He was very bad faith, and I even yelled at him, saying that he was a crook, that his game was rigged, and he left without saying anything. It's a really big scam, especially don't play it, you'll lose your money for nothing!
Game of 5 pucks at the fair
The target to cover has a diameter of 185 mm
The 5 discs have a diameter of 115 mm

The "poilu" Roger, we're not talking about the old version with 5 pucks, but the new one with 6! The dimensions must be different...
I'm stressing out about this game, it smells like a scam but I'm almost sure it's possible...
Can someone help me please??
Does anyone know the exact dimensions of the blue circle & the 6 pucks please?
Because just the ratio isn't very helpful to me...
Thanks!!

BIG SCAM I was supposed to win twice but the fairground operator didn't give me the iPhone 5 that supposedly two people had won in the morning. I covered the circle with no holes; even the people around me were surprised and didn’t even try since it's such a scam. The fairground operator made up holes created by the shadow of the edges of the circles which were obviously non-existent and on top of that, she rushed to take everything away. One piece of advice, don’t go to the FAIR OF THE THRONE IN PARIS, by the way, I don’t trust the safety of the rides either.
Hey guys, I've also studied the thing, here's my hypothesis:
We start from the assumption that the carnie has the same discs as us, but the big disc (where we have to place the 6 smaller ones) is not quite round; could it be slightly (by a few millimeters) reduced on one side so that he succeeds every time, while we don't? ¿?¿?
O or 0
