Umm it's not immediately obvious what it's about or where it is.

Is it just a bunch of people getting together to say "I don't believe you"?

You probably don't want to hear it Var, but you keep implicitly imposing an order on the events.

If you flip a coin and it's heads, then the chance of the *next* toin coss being heads is 50/50.

If you flipped two coins and one of them was heads, the chance of both of them being heads is only 33%.

Interesting. When you raised the relevance of Tuesday I realized it would change the probability, but didn't actually do the work and am now surprised it shifted it so much.

Hi Jakasiz and welcome :)

I feel like I should know you but I'm not sure if I'm confusing you with Jakasle or not, since I was thinking monk and not sk.

Were you ever on Brell or in Zenith or Nexus?

For the people that still don't believe, answer this question:

I have two kids, what is the probability that both are boys?

The cause for confusion is in the implicit assumption of a birth order. If I have two kids, there are 4 equally likely outcomes: - boy then boy - boy then girl - girl then boy - girl then girl Each of which has a 25% chance. If I give the information "one of my kids is a boy", the only possible outc...

Your assertion is only true if you assume a birth order Var :)

Probability calculations are a mindfuck and humans are inherently bad at doing them "intuitively".

This birth thing is a similar type of problem to the "should you switch doors" problem shown in the movie 21.

Is that exactly the question as it was written on the test? Because, linguistically speaking, if someone says "I have two kids... one is a boy, born on a Tuesday" there is a clear implication that the other kid is not a boy. Probability doesn't enter into it, the speaker has effectively said that th...

I think if you just buy Underfoot you'll have everything before it as well.

Can go to https://store.station.sony.com/ and click on Everquest under Digital Downloads in left hand side menu.

I have a rogue if you want to poke around on him, can't help with the nec though.
