Looks like we have to fill in numbers in the appropriate boxes.

Spreadsheet Here.

3rd graph, middle is C. Middle right is R. Top right is Spy.

Looks like a large amount of info recognition, based around board and card games mostly.

I'll try to get an appropriately knowledgable friend onto the case.

the probability of winning a street bet is 11.667 to 1 against. im not sure how that fits in though

The last section, lower right is incorrect. The disks in question are have both a letter (for ordering) and a number (for die rolls). It's asking what letter is on the 12 disk.

Also, what number is the Spy in Stratego? Considering all the other answers are single letters or numbers, that may be what is intended.

Further, the "easy 6 in craps" question is just asking what are the odds of rolling a 1-5 or 2-4. Can someone calculate?

It might just be S, actually.

OK, for the unknown in grid 2, upper left, in this game, you start with 7 coins and 3 non-coins, and you draw five cards. Can someone calculate based on those facts?
