It's basicly the same here... He's assuming that he can change the overall chance of someone bringing a bomb,  by having one himself. This is ofcourse false, since you have to look at each passenger individually, and asume they don't know if someone else has one. Right?

When flying on an airplane, a man decides to always bring a bomb with him. "The chances of an airplane having a bomb on it are very small," he reasons, "and certainly the chances of having two are almost none!"

(yes, I am reviseing probability for my upcomming maths test(final before high school) ^^)

For those of you who doesn't get it, it's basicly about "Gambler's Fallacy", or a wrong approach to probability..

I think trig is the tool you'll be needing here... This is, however, not a branch of mathematics I'm very familiar with.

I see why you would say that, but I'm not sure I'd aggree(might be wrong though). Multiplying from right to left is also just a method of making it easier, just as 'moving the decimal place' is. You might just aswell say:

Basicly what you're doing is the same, but it's easier to do it the other way around. You're welcome to prove me wrong though, I like learning smile
