hi bobbym,

Happy holiday and new year!

I saw a post earlier, thanking me because it had worked but that post is now missing.  Odd.

Hi Bob;

Happy New Year! Nice to see you.

That is strange. It was not here when I got in this morning. If you say it was there than I believe it was, sometimes that happens to me too.

Don't you like my current avatar? Yoda is currently resting.

I am not a complex personality and neither was Yoda. We follow the first rule established by HDT. "Simplify, simplify, simplify."

Re: how to modify my password?

but you use complexity to get simplicity,thus you are complexely simple and so is Yoda,but a button isn't (it's simply simple)

Re: how to modify my password?

Me also.

I preferred Yoda.

For Yoda is wise and very powerful.  Yet he is small and modest.

And he teaches other his skills.

This is a good image to have.

Respect!

Re: how to modify my password?

hi Stefy,

It wasn't a miracle.

I know this because if it were a miracle I would not have typed that thinking 'now is our chance to talk' and then dosed off with my laptop patiently awaiting my  next action. 

Sorry. 

Have I got an excuse? 

Well I had been gardening and managed to make a small mountain of branches cut from a shrub.  So  then I was thinking I need a bit of a rest.  So then I'm thinking "Let's see what's happening at Maths Is Fun.  Oh look, Stefy is also on-line. Great!" 

But my body has other ideas.  zzzzzz

So no miracle.  Just a chance encounter.  This will happen when two people log on from time to time.

You could model it like this:

P(Bob on-line) = 0.1

P(Stefy on-line) = 0.1

P(both on-line) = x where x <> zero.

P(Bob on-line AND still awake) = f(z) where z = e^-t where t is detemined by the size of the branch mountain.

Re: how to modify my password?

hi bob

no you got the probabilities wrong:

P(Stefy on-line|Stefy doesn't have work for school)=1
P(Stefy has work for school)=pi^2

so as the size of your branch mountain approaches infinity P(both on-line) approaches 0.

therefore i have proven that what happened was a miracle

Yes, but Yoda has a light saber for when he gets annoyed.

hi Stefy,

Good proof.  I bow to your superior skill with miracle theory.

bobbym:  So what are you saying?  Have you got a light sabre or not?

No light saber, so what is the point of being Yoda?
