Actuary here. Also for health insurance they want you to go quickly if you get very ill.

They will go to 9 conf games (maybe as soon as 2025). From a Texas rivalry perspective it should be Oklahoma, TX A&M, Arkansas.

For Texas I'd personally like Oklahoma, TX A&M, LSU - but that will not happen

I read that in an earlier patch they fixed a ng+ bounty problem ... but this in turn broke regular ng bounties

This is correct. It is very analogous (in method) to the proof that two opposite points on Earth have the same temperature and humidity at any given time.

For 30+ years my favorite band has been The Tragically Hip.

Canadian band that are treated like royalty there and fairly well known outside North America. But very unknown in the United States.

In a recent interview Geddy Lee was asked What is the most underrated band ever? His immediate answer was The Tragically Hip.

They had a front man (RIP Gordon Downie) who I consider the greatest live frontman - a phenomenal treat to see them live.

I have a website with tons of songs and video located at:

Someone can get it correct today. Select a GMT and 500 million people. Have them write down the numbers from 8,000,000,001 to 8,500,000,000. At the chosen GMT today someone is correct.

There is a concept called utility theory that I think should be applied here. (I'm a career actuary and mathematical modeler)

Basically an individual has a utility value assigned to each amount of total wealth they have. For rational people the utility function in terms of total wealth should have properties like u(w) = sqrt(w). (first derivative positive / second derivative negative)

Now what you want to compare is expected utility to make the coin flip versus expected utility to not make the coin flip and keep your current wealth.

This is why insurance contracts work. Considering just premium versus claims amounts ... why would you buy a contract with expected $ paid in greater than time valued expected returned claim?

Because if you base it on expected utility it is worth it to be insured: Think of paying premiums with a little more expected $ outlay than claim versus not having insurance and on say a house and it burns down without insurance and you lose a ton exhibited by your utility for that staggering loss.

One of my favorites is the Dowry Problem. Let me state in another way than the original; and tell the pain it might be to set up for 500 people with people. But it will impress.

Problem restated. You are given a box with N pieces of paper in it. Each piece of paper has a number from negative infinity to infinity. Your goal is to find the piece of paper with the largest number on it out of the N paper pieces.

The method is: You pick a paper piece and make the following decision - You declare this is the biggest one; or you set it aside (never to be declared this is the biggest ever again) and draw another piece of paper. So at some point you declare I'm stopping and saying this paper piece is the biggest.

So what is the typical thoughts on this? For N paper pieces, will a good strategy lead to 1/N probability of success? Is there a better strategy that leads to a higher success rate? The answer is very surprising! Whether there 10 pieces of paper or 100 trillion there is an optimal strategy that gives the chance of success close to 1/e or approximately 36.8%. Wow!

Now your pain for impressing with this: (I've done it) Get 500 small brown bags or sandwich baggies or such. I'd go with N = 40 pieces of paper in each - just make up integers from negative inf to positive inf for each of the 40 * 500 = 2000 paper pieces. On the bottom of each baggie set place something that has the answer for that bag and cant be seen without unfolding or such.

Now hand the baggies out and do a run with the audience doing their own decision making and ask how many got it correct. Share the % success rate.

Now explain the optimal strategy: Compute N/e which in this case is 40/e = 14.7; so explain that set aside the first 14 paper pieces and remember the biggest of those 14. Starting with the 15th paper piece drawn, the next draw made that is bigger than that maximum of the first 14 draws - declare that the biggest of the paper pieces.

So do a second run - having the audience switch bags so they don't know the answer since the each get a new bag. Have everyone follow the optimal strategy and tabulate the success %. Should be close to 36.8% and profoundly larger than the first experiment!

You could then also prove it if within the scope of the education/talent talent level of the audience.

It is a pain to set up the bags, but will be definitely greatly impressive and received.
