    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    The amounts in the envelopes never changes, so while the average result of switching the first time is 1.5X, the result of a second switch is always X. The amount of money in the first envelope doesn't change and will always be X.

    Wouldn't be hard to implement. When you kill BossMob3574 three locked chests spawn. The revs have already said that two of the boxes contains cloth caps and the third is a sword of aweomesauce. You choose one chest but it dosnt block right away. Instead a different chest opens revealing a cloth...

    Wrong. The odds your box is right/wrong never changes. Because the correct box is never changed.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    The math works for any number of boxes above 2. Be it 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 100, or infinite. The math is the same every time. The odds your first choice is wrong is (n-1)/n. Vegas would take those odds, and your money, any day.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Only if I got to choose a side at random and thought it was the number 100. Then you remove 98 "wrong" choices and ask me to pick AGAIN. The fact that two choices are made is the important part. You are trying to switch what's in the box by flipping the coin AFTER you removed the sides. The...

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Actually it's the knowledge that the box you initially picked has 1/n chance of being right and a (n-1)/n chance of being wrong. When given the chance to move off of my (n-1)/n chance of being wrong, you should take it, especially as n gets larger. Hence my illustration of an infinite number...

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Let's change what's in the boxes just for illustrative purposes (it actually doesn't change the odds). I'm going to put number 1 - 20 under 20 different boxes. You're goal is to pick the box with a 20 under it. After you make your first pick, I remove 18 "wrong" choices, showing you 18...

    Texas A&M University School of Law It was Texas Wesleyan when I attended, then A&M bought them. And you've been wrong the whole time. The math works better to illustrate the idea when there are an infinite number of boxes to choose from. If there are an infinite number, your first choice is...

    Independent. Juris Doctor. Now, refute the statement that the game ends up the same every time no matter which box you initially picked. You have a 50/50 in the second choice. The first choice is meaningless whether you picked the winner or not.

    A brain teasing probability puzzle

    Given the way the problem is laid out, the first choice is a false choice. The game ends up the same whether you beat the odds the first time and chose the winning box or not. In the end you have the choice of TWO boxes. The one you initially picked and the box the host didn't open. One is...

    Don't give up too quick. You are still in a division with a rookie head coach from college, Romo and Mike Shannahan. The NFC East champion could be a 7 win team.

Her position was that affirmative action is still necessary because of years of systemic racism keeping blacks disadvantaged. Her reasoning as to why white peoe today should be denied...

    Don't worry guys. John McCain is on the case. And while states are at it, maybe they should review teen curfew laws also. Since they had as much to do with the Zimmerman case as SYG did. http://www.huffpost.com/us/entry/3631171

    This is probably a question for a different thread, but I think given the track of this thread I'll plop it here anyway. If we agree (or do we) that the media is more sensational than informative and more myopic in each individual outlets political/social view, do we need to rethink the...

    Erm, yes. Zimmerman was required to complete a firearms safety course. By definition he was trained to use a firearm which constitutes training in use of deadly force.

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Almost every single "fact" you sight is wrong. 1). He was defending himself. 2). He was following a suspicious person which is a very good reason. 3). He was trained in the use of deadly force. 4). Martin did go looking for Zimmerman following their initial contact.

    Zimmerman deprived him of hit right to live. The statute doesn't require racism at all to apply. Should I link it?

    Cad, are you familiar with 42 USC Sec 1983? The only case I have worked that dealt with it involved a state funded hospital so we had a state actor that would obviously be covered by Federal statute in violating civil rights, but I'm curious if you think the statute as written could be applied...

    Riiiiiight. Because criminals will obviously obey the law and not carry guns illegally at all. And outlawing murder has obviously stopped all wrongful killings across America. Your arguments are thick on emotion and light on logic. Are you a Florida DA by chance?

    Justice for Zimmerman

    If you believe the prosecution's line of events (which you don't, but just saying), you should not speak to, approach, or in any way draw the attention of young black men. By doing so you are provoking a violent confrontation.

    Actually if he did that I would expect the State to seek an indictment on Murder 1. No double jeopardy would apply in that case.
