How real is this show.


I do not understand math or "game theory", but i understand that they might have a cross over to reality other than a register telling me how much i should pay for a soda.

This show is almost good to me, but i am bothered by its need to interject the MATH element in every episode, as if math has the ability to account for all these situations...

Am i wrong? Or is just a premise heavy show that apply's the same formula over and over despite the insanity or improbability of such activity's ever occuring?!

Well, the math is quite far fetched.

For the math to "work" in most episodes, things that can't be quantified (have a numerical value assigned to them (like how much fun you are having watching this show, lol)) are quantified.
