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.

No, each ticket has 2 options. Either they win or they don't. How do you get guaranteed win out of OP's infallible proof?

I guarantee that if op truly believes what he posted, he probably thinks that probability is additive over multiple occurrences.

I'm learning it in school right now, and it's so useless...
I stopped reading right here.

You know the digital games you play are coded, right? Linear Algebra had a hand in that. You know that cell phone you're using? Both Calculus and Linear Algebra had a hand in that. I'll say you've successfully trolled me.

There is a 0/100 chance i will actually post in this thread.


That equals 0 dummy. Go back to third grade.

Yet you say 50/50 which is equal to 1 which would be 100%.
OP is an idiot or 12.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.
