Re: Bafflers?
Hi gAr;
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.

Re: Bafflers?
Hi,
Thanks!
But why did you close that topic?

He probably forgot to open it again.He usually closes the topic he posts a problem in.The same is for his threads in Computer Math.

Re: Bafflers?
New Question:
A person has a fair die, a fair coin and a 4 color spinner. The spinner has sections marked 1,2,4 and 8. Each with a probability of 1 / 4.
He throws the die and whatever number comes up he flips the coin that many times. He spins the spinner as many times as heads comes up from all the coin flips.What is the probability that the sum of the spinners spins is less than 5?

1) R.I.P.O.S.T.P.
2) I did not get that one.
3) The guys who did had inside information.

The were physically grounded to the problem. Meaning they knew where those numbers come from. This can provide insight into the general term.

They popped up in a little app I was working on. Unfortunately, that did not give any clue how to generalize them, so I looked em up!
