Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

Hey, my car turns left. Isn't that the criterion?

Nope - Independent events.

 

[lsiberian]

Nope - still 50%. Every flip is 50% because, as you stated, it is independent of any previous flips.


Hey, my car turns left. Isn't that the criterion?

I've heard coin tosses are actually 51% toward the upward facing side.

Pop quiz - if someone flips a regular coin (one side is heads, the other side is tails) ten times and gets heads every time, what is the probability that the next flip will be heads?

Yes. The answer is clearly, yes. I checked it very thoroughly.

I've heard coin tosses are actually 51% toward the upward facing side.

I heard that it was skewed towards tails. Then again, so am I.

You've also been told that a shovel of dirt can stop a flood.

That's why you always have them put the tails up.

 

[gmichael]

That's true, but I still don't believe.

 

[brianedm]

Dude, I'm highly impressed. I've never been able to algernize anything in less than two hours, even back when I was in practice.

That's hilarious. Well played.

 

[Steve81]

That's true, but I still don't believe.

Nobody specified the size of the shovel.

 

[gmichael]

That's why you always have them put the tails up.

Ding ding ding. That is correct sir.

Someone down the block put out a bag of donations for Big Brothers Big Sisters, but it was a handwritten sign on the bag, and I can't find the card that they mail out to say when they'll be around. I want to put my TV out for them, but I want to find that darn card first to confirm that they're coming.

And that it really IS them.

Good point. It never occurred to me that the older woman down the street might be part of an elaborate ruse to bilk the neighborhood out of their gently used clothing and household items.

I didn't know that [Someone = the older woman down the street]

The Blue Jays have extended RA dickey. Trades official pending physicals. Feels weird to be cheering on the team spending like a drunk sailor. I like it!

Open the front door and yell, "TAMIKA!!", if no one answers, you're good.

My Blue Jays seem to have normal, not extended, dickeys. How close are you looking?

I once spoke with a guy named Richard Rising. No one can beat that.

I'm guessing that someone is beating that right now...
