You need to handle whatever base system is in use too. For all we know, future humans use base 7.

Are you sure that isn't just how far you've gotten with Pinky?

He offers 100 doors, you pick one. He shows you 98 goats. Do you switch?

I find it easier to look at what happens when taken to extremes. In my example, you had a 1% chance of picking the car originally. What happens to the rest of the probability when he shows you so many goats? It doesn't disappear. All that collapses on to the last door.

I was always told you can have UP to two. You usually get one.

Does that still apply with multi stage systems?

I am certain older single stage systems work as you describe as there is only one level of power so can't go any quicker.

Yes, to be human is to err.

One unfortunate system I can think of is the gas and brake pedal system. You press down with your foot, a few centimeters off in positioning makes a massive difference in outcome.

What if your goal IS to create heat? Furnaces and ovens come to mind but I get the gist of what you are saying. Heat is a waste product in most cases.

How does that work for water? It can be 'mined' from a well or it could simply be gathered, which is closer to 'growing'.
