contents In this paper, we consider how probability theory can be used to determine the survival strategy in two of the ``Squid Game" and ``Squid Game: The Challenge" challenges: the Hopscotch and the Warships. We show how Hopscotch can be easily tackled with the knowledge of the binomial distribution, taught in introductory statistics courses, while Warships is a much more complex problem, which can be tackled at different levels.
