    We want to find the probability of gaining i scores in games other than G. It's similar to finding in how many ways we gain i scores. It's a knapsack problem.

      we need to gain i scores in such a way that after adding G to it .It must become greater than n*(n+1)/4.In other words we need to look for only those i's such that after adding G to it ,it can become greater than n*(n+1)/4.Am i right?

        and we'll use knapsack to find those i's and we won't be using G as a weight?
