    I had a day long argument with my friend about this. I don't remember my stance but his was that it was the sky reflecting off the ocean (We lived in fucking michigan). I miss being 11 =\

    Pretty much. I rrp'd Araysar for his own good. Look at the upstanding citizen Merlin has become. One day Araysar can hope to reach the level of enlightenment that Merlin has.

    Find me a single mathematician who currently disputes it. Not "Here's a bunch of assholes who got it wrong a decade ago and later probably apologized' but today. None the less we don't need to appeal to authority here. It's a very simple stats problem.

    Eh, I disagree. I doubt you could word it differently than And get a much different response from a group of people. It's one of those problems where the more words you put into the problem to direct them to the right answer the more complicated you make it.

    The last time someone was this dense his name was Merlin and I rrp'd him for a few days. Choose your next posts carefully Araysar because you'll find yourself in his position. Who knows maybe you'll learn from it and take some stats classes in community college.

    Because you're required to complete two rounds. The second round forces you to chose to stay the same or you choose to switch. It's an irrelevant point I made to agree with some dumb shit you said earlier, pay no attention to it. That's the crux of the issue, it's been explained to you in enough...

    Let's be exhaustive here: 1. Your odds of selecting the correct door in the first round are 1/1000. 2. Your odds of winning in the first round are 0. 3. Your odds of winning if you keep your choice in the second round are 1/1000 4. Your odds of winning if you choose are 1 - 1/1000 or 999/1000.

    Maybe Araysar isn't trolling since now he's backpeddling. I like how he puts valid in quotations to soften the blow of admitting he's full of shit.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I wouldn't say it's silly. Really the variance in optimal builds has narrowed greatly over the last ten years so it makes sense that the latest consoles have very similar specs. It is a little odd that they have nearly the same exact specs though. One thing is for sure, it's good for the...

    Are the odds in Lejina's 1million-1 goat example also 50/50? Nah, the idea is that when you switch you're the getting the best of two doors. In Lejina's example you're getting the best of 999,999 doors.

    Araysar once you accept that you're wrong you can start on the path of enlightenment and follow in the footsteps of Merlin.

    It's ironic that the voting on this poll is very close to 66/33 split, which is the probability split of winning if you switch.

    I agree with your post, but Britain didn't vote 'fuck off cunt'. It was a very close vote and if it went the other way wouldn't be a ringing endorsement either. Personally I think the best thing for America would have been for Obama to establish a precedent of non-invasion, so that future...

    Sports writer kills himself, leaves behind website describing how and why

    Tanoomba, nothing you said at all addressed the points he made and how they don't destroy your world view. It's pretty disingenuous to respond to that with a bunch of shitty loaded questions and you should be embarrassed.
