  • Subject: Point of probability? Chance of anything happening is 50/50

Per Audacia Ad Astra

Three variables; A, B and C.
All three variables are given a random number from 1 to 99.

What is the probability of;
-A, B and C having the same value?
-A and B having the same value?
-A being a multiple of C?

50/50, you say?

I'm laughing about this thread still being alive.
Also at the mods' posts.

This thread has been made before in the past by the same guy judging from his posts. It's just to flame bait people like last time...we all know hes wrong, he knows it too but has the need to argue as he has nothing else better to do i guess

The point of war is not to die for one's clan, but it's to make the other bastard die for his
Right before you die, there is always a chance to save yourself, sieze that chance and live to fight another day
The best way to kill someone is to fight them with the same weapons they use and make them know you are better than them, not because of superior weaponry, but because of superior skill.

What about a dice? BOOM.



there is a 50/50 chance that it will land on a specific side.

IE

50/50 chance of rolling a 1
( you will roll a 1 or you will not )

50/50 chance of rolling a 2
( you will roll a 2 or you will not )

50/50 chance of rolling a 3
( you will roll a 3 or you will not )

50/50 chance of rolling a 4
( you will roll a 4 or you will not )

50/50 chance of rolling a 5
( you will roll a 5 or you will not )

50/50 chance of rolling a 6
( you will roll a 6 or you will not )


I could not contain my hysterical laughter.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

So a red colored marble is among 15 other marbles that are yellow in a bag. Chances of picking the red marble...1/16.

OP Logic
1/16=50/50

Obviously his vastly superior knowledge is too much for us to understand. He has to be right. We must bow down to his great intellect.

Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

This thread is a CLASSIC troll thread. What great memories...


Anyways, I might be wrong because I have not done the math to verify this:

But if you have 1 die.
And roll it.
If you say that each possibility is 50%...
Does that mean, when added up,
That it's a 1/6th chance?

I think that is how this 50/50 theory is supposed to go.

Nothing will beat clockman for many years. Why? Because the Clockman troll thread was not only a masterpiece but took quite a long while to figure out the true intentions of it.

Based on op's logic, I'm going to go buy a couple of lottery tickets. I would say 'wish me luck', but I'm assuming having two tickets would mean that I have a 100% chance of winning, so I don't need luck.
