Re: Bafflers?
Hi bobbym
I managed to type it up on my phone, but I'm afraid that's all I can do for now except explain it a little latex-free.

Re: Bafflers?
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Derived it myself using the method from the GFology

Re: Bafflers?
Thanks, but it's not much yet.Could you give me some easier problems I could work on to practise my GF knowledge.A link would be just fine.

Aren't there more problems that are done using GF's?

Re: Bafflers?
Yes, but GF's are like everything else in mathematics, very iffy. The technique you used will not always work. Sometimes you can not get the recurrence or even a sequence of numbers.

Re: Bafflers?
Baffler #3
There are ten marbles in an urn. 3 red, 4 black and 3 blue. If the marbles are drawn from the urn and laid on a table in the order they were drawn what is the chance that all 3 types are together. Meaning the 3 reds are together, the 3 blue are together and the 4 blacks are together.

No questions on that one. The question is in the other thread concerning the supposed Tribonacci numbers.

ok,then.
also,i'm now looking at the way of solving the problem you just posted using GF's.
