The Maths Thread

is it that you don't know the answer to the question?
diversionary tactics?

no wonder your mates took the piss out of you at school.

You are well weird

thanks.

to be frank, i'm not sure i know the answer to the question.
i made it up out of the blue the other night while drinking wine with a pal.

all we could do was come to the conclusion that the answer cannot be anything other than 50/50 because there are only 2 possible outcomes on the day you are born...
you either live or you die.

That's well cool.

There are only two possible outcomes in playing the lottery, but that doesn’t make the odds 50/50.

 

[roman totale]

it is most definitely an answer
and it is certainly an answer that has fully comprehended the question,
but it is not the answer.
"a lot" is not a specific enough answer for a maths question,
and anyway, the question didn't ask how many.

I just like the meme mate.

I’m not the one talking about dead babies over a glass of wine with my mates.

Only 2 possible outcomes as you say but the chances each outcome happening will be significantly different. It will also surely depend on where in the world you are born as newborn mortality rates will vary across the world.

 

[blueish swede]

It will depend on the time of day you are born as well, obviously.

I’ve bought two lottery tickets.

I’m guaranteed to win now.

Smash the system.
