Odds of happening = almost zero in infinity Means that if you run it infinity times, it’s still not going to happen. Do you even know what 10^301 is??

Again, wrong. When the odds are basically infinitely for it to happen, then it’s still zero. You’re short sighted and focused on the 1,000 count. The real umber is the odds. Which are very close to infinity. You yet again are showing your complete lack of understanding. Also, when the dealer...

Would a Predator Panthera count? They make 100 pool versions and 30 carom versions? Done by Jacoby. And Exceed was mentioned. That’s 50/50 like the Pantheras. As they are sold by a production company, but Exceeds are built the same as custom.

As mentioned above, the pie/lamination allows the use of either cheaper or not so great wood and being able to basically make it straighter/more uniform than sometimes the best maple shafts. As far as the feel and such, that’s gonna be fairly subjective and such.

Oh I agee. Just point it out to the genius who started this thread that really has zero grasp on probably or statistics. He he seems to think that no matter how small the odds are, if you run it infinitely, that means it would still happen plenty of times. Which as we know, just isn’t true...

Though this would probably be a better use of your time than, well…..most anything I’d imagine. Go to this website and keep pressing the “1,000” button until you die. You’ll never see the count move 1,000 ahead or 1,000 less of the equivalent of 50% of the total flips...

For example, a true 50/50 coin toss….. To get 1,000 of one side in a row, you likely couldn’t flips coins fast enough to finish before the universe runs out of gas. So, 66% would be even less. 33% would be more of a chance…..but however would also be considered zero for any purposes.

Wrong as usual. Even if you played infinity, the odds of going 0/1000 string is extremely, extremely small. So small, most mathematicians would consider it virtually impossible. You’re the one who brought up the initial post, said you didn’t agree. Then when literally anyone with half a brain...

Except that when this problem was initially posed, it took simulations to get very prominent mathematicians to accept it. Literal top of their field types. At the time, it was hotly debated until simulations were done. Now, it’s regarded as common knowledge.

This is again full of wrong. The odds of never winning 1/1000 tries is beyond astronomical. This also has nothing to do with the cardboard box guys which is literally a scam. It’s not based on any math. You wouldn’t remotely ever be close to 50/50 with the cardboard box guys. You’d win when...

Doug Moore. Pretty traditional stuff. I have a brand new one posted. Not trying to make a cheap sale pitch Just saying you can see some of his work in my post.

Let’s change the scenario and it would still be the same. The rules say: -You pick a random door and it’s eliminated. It doesn’t exist anymore. -You now get the other two doors. They are yours. -Monty will look behind both and will then open a goat. -The last door is yours and you have to...

You have 3 doors to randomly choose one. There’s only one car. That’s a 1/3 chance to choose right. Most everyone immediately know this. So, when you pick a door and it’s off to the side, that by default means there’s two other doors that don’t belong to you. Which means if you take your 1/3...

The only difference could be the energy transfer. The shaft doesn’t “draw easier.” The way you cue + the shaft results in easier draw for you personally. All shafts do the same thing. You may have to aim differently or increase/decrease cue speed to achieve the same results. And then...

I also see in the last 10 years or so we haven’t yet erased the myth that you can somehow apply more spin or “create” angles with different shafts. Obviously a shaft may be easier for an individual to use. But, physics is the same. The cue ball, when hit with X kind of spin has to impact the...

No one who’s serious uses a R700 in .308 for anything serious anymore. The .mil/le I train still use it because the range for LE is always short. And .mil use .300wm, .300 Norma, 338 Norma and 338 Lapua for anything much further than 600yds. And most of them are moving away from 700’s. This...

A pretty cool one is also “The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King.” Andy Beal, billionaire banker and mathematician, takes on an entire stable of the best poker players at the time (Brunson, Forrest, Reese, etc) heads up. Different players each time. He knows he’s not as good as them...

Different scenario as the cases are eliminated at random. Which means there is no additional information the player receives from the banker. I don’t believe the banker knows the value of each case and therefore is using a % of the expected value remaining. I.E. the bank will almost always...

Lol. Still making up shit so you can think you weren’t completely wrong eh?

This is also extremely interesting. Because people always like to give others shit for not “sticking to their beliefs.” When a major sign of intelligence is changing your opinions or beliefs when more information is acquired.
