M&M’s Musings

Posted by svec on January 21, 2009 Leave a comment (1) Go to comments

We have an M&M’s-filled candy machine at work and we wondered:

What do you call it when you get exactly 6 M&M’s in a single turn of the dispenser, one of each color? M&M Yahtzee? Full House?
And how about when you get more than 6 M&M’s in a single turn of the dispenser, with at least one of each color?

Suggestions? Please leave a comment!

PS: the 6 M&M’s colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue and brown. See for yourself.

We decided to call “exactly 6, one of each color” a “Yahtzee.”

“Yahtzee plus N” is when you get N > 6, with at least one of each color. Example: if you get 8 M&M’s, with at least one of each color you got a “Yahtzee plus 2.”
