173%4 = 1
so Player 2’s turn
Here how I solved it in my calculator in 2 different ways:
And here is the solution in the unreal engine:
Next number is: 331
98/4= 24.5
24.5-24=0.5
0.5*4=2
thus P3 starts
Next number is : 133
133%4 = 33 r1
The second player is now playing.
Next number is: 31
31%4 = 7r3
With the remainder of 3, player 4 would start.
Next number! 137
Nice simple bit of math to start off, 137 % 4 = 3 (137/4 = 34 r 1) so Player 2 gets to go first.
C# Script
private int rngValue = 137;
private int playerCount = 4;
private int r;
public string[] players = {"One","Two","Three","Four"};
r = rngValue % playerCount;
if(r==0)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Player " + players[r] + ", you go first.");
}
if(r==1)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Player " + players[r] + ", you go first.");
}
if(r==2)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Player " + players[r] + ", you go first.");
}
if(r==3)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Player " + players[r] + ", you go first.");
}
Next Number! 649

I wrote a simple code in Processing (Java) for this if anyone is interested. Find below:
int number = int(random(1,100));
if (number % 4 == 0) {
println(“P1 starts”);
} else if (number % 4 == 1) {
println(“P2 starts”);
} else if (number % 4 == 2) {
println(“P3 starts”);
} else {
println(“P4 starts”);
}
649/4 = 162.25, 0.25*4 = 1
The remainder is 1, so Player 2 goes first
Next Number: 38

That’s how my code looks like
int randNum = Random.Range(0, 100);
Debug.Log(randNum);
if (randNum % 4 == 0)
{
Debug.Log("FirstPlayer Starts!");
} else if (randNum % 4 == 1){
Debug.Log("SecondPlayer Starts!");
} else if (randNum % 4 == 2){
Debug.Log("ThirdPlayer Starts!");
} else{
Debug.Log("FourthPlayer Starts!");
}
71 % 4 = 3
Answer - 4th player starts
Next number is 221

63%4=3
Player four goes first.
221/4=55.25
55.25-55=0.25
0.25*4=1
so player two goes first
next number is 423

Answer is “fourth player turn”. 63%4 = 3
Previous message asked for 423 : “fourth player turn”
423%4 = 3
A small javascript snippet to compute player turn.
function whichPlayer(number){
const labels = ["first player turn", "second player turn", "third player turn", "fourth player turn"];
return labels[number%4];
}
next number is 77
63 % 4 = ??
A / B = C
63 / 4 = 15.75
Remove .75
C = 15
C * B
15 * 4 = 60
A - C = R
63 - 60 = 3
R = 3
63 % 4 = 15 R 3
Player 3 Gooooooo 
With calculator:
63/4 = 15.75
63-(4*15) = 3
Remainder = 3
Player 3 goes first.
With code:
int num = 63 % 4;
switch (num)
{
case 1:
// Player 1 turn
break;
case 2:
// Player 2 turn
break;
case 3:
// Player 3 turn
break;
default:
// Player 4 turn
break;
}
New number for the chain is 93!
I couldn’t find the right threads for the previous assignments, so I’m just going to put them all here. Sorry moderator person:
rounding assignment:
floor(6.283) = 6
ceil(6.283) = 7
round(6.283, 1) = 6.3
round(6.283, 2) = 6.28
division assignment:
9 - (3 / 1/3) + 1
9 - 9 + 1 = 1
remainder assignment:
calculator:
63 % 4
4 * 15 = 60, so should be player 3 (zero-indexed… in the example there is player 0)
last number: 93, should be player 1 (again, zero-indexed)
new number is 2
Calculator:
63 / 4 = 15.75
0.75 * 4 = 3 (3rd player)
Code (Java):
Previous poster’s number solution: player 2 will be.
New number (drumrolls): 1357
Calculator(SymboLab with my modification):
63/4=15*(3/4) => 3/4 * 4 = 3 => Player 3 Goes First
Previous Comment => 1357 / 4 => 339 * (1/4) => 1/4 * 4 = 1=> Player 1 Goes First
Code (C#)
New Number: 546

Could not tell which number to use from previous , random 1089 with 4 players .
My code in unity c#
void Start()
{
WhoGoesFirst(4, 1089);
}
void WhoGoesFirst(int numberOfPlayers, int seedNumber)
{
/* Learn to use remainders operator %
take the number of seed number and divide by the number of players
the remainder is the player that goes first.
*/
int m = seedNumber % numberOfPlayers;
Debug.Log(m);
Debug.Log("The seed number is " + seedNumber + " and there are " + numberOfPlayers + " players, therefore player " + (seedNumber % numberOfPlayers) + " goes first");
}
The remainder is 1 so player 2 goes first.
New random number 863.
63/4 = 15.75
ignoring 15 and multiplying decimal remainder with 4 : 0.75 * 4 = 3
so player 4 goes first.
using 863 as random
863/4 = 215.75
remainder .75 and multiplying decimal remainder with 4 : 0.75 * 4 = 3
so player 4 goes first.
next random number : 429
