In which area is it impossible to land?

Answer 1

I can’t see the spinner image you’re referring to. Can you upload the picture or describe it (how many equal/unequal slices, where the pointer stops, which colors appear on the wheel, any arrows/labels)?

If you want to check yourself, here’s how to decide which color is impossible:
- Look at the actual colored sectors on the wheel and their boundaries. Any color not present as a sector is impossible.
- If the pointer is shaped so it can only land on sector interiors (for example it sits between two tick marks), check whether any sector has zero angular measure (i.e., is only a boundary line) — that color is impossible.
- If the spinner can only stop at certain discrete positions (e.g., when there are pegs it lands between them), compute which sector those positions fall into; any color that contains none of those positions is impossible.

Send the image or a description and I’ll identify the impossible area.
