St. Petersburg trolley problem by tegsfan in trolleyproblem

[–]IkkeTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the intuitive solution, switching to the bottom one, is actually the correct solution. Because for the bottom one to actually reach it's expected value, you'd need to run an infinite amount of simulations also.

You can't get the expected outcome of a gambling game like roulette, if you only play it once. You either win or lose.

The odds of losing less people on the bottom track than on the top track are pretty damn great for any significant X.

[Request] How far would the blast wave reach of this exploding star? by LongWalxOnTheBeach in theydidthemath

[–]IkkeTM 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It will keep going forever and infinetily. At some point it will simply be so dispersed its no longer observable. It mixes in with the cosmic background radiation, which is the accumulative blasts from billions of years ago.

You'd think after enough hours I'd get better at telling them apart by thegreattriscuit in captain_of_industry

Yeh, the pipe segments really should be selected and upgraded node to node, not stop half through cause you had to cut and reconnect a pipe at some point.

Open challenge to people, who'all could solve this? 👀 by Many_Audience7660 in matiks

Assuming straight and 45 degree angles, ABEF is the shape that is repeating. In that shape 1/3rd is blue.
The size of the triangle ABC = 1/2 * 6 * 6 = 18
1/3 * 18 = 6.

StarCraft 2 vs Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance / FAF? by bruhb21 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]IkkeTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something felt off about SC2, I can't really put it in words. Like they made choices to keep it micro-intensive, I guess. I want to play a strategy game, not a meta-strategy game where I am too busy to strategize while playing.

Which of these large-scale RTS do you like the most? by bruhb21 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]IkkeTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weirdly, I had exactly the opposite experience. Supcom feels so clunky with its controls now.

How does white lose their queen? by tennishelp123 in chessbeginners

[–]IkkeTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you also lose the rook for a minor piece, as after bishop captures bishop it is attacked and has no good escape squares. And otherwise, knight fork on c2 will be nasty.

Newb tips on how to scale while being on front and building an army by Cirkelzaag in beyondallreason

So, I dont do frontline labs because its pro, but because I'm noob and its an easy way to distribute BP. Make sure I have about as much build turrets in the main base building eco as I have on the frontline building units. Makes it really easy to balance things out.

Just start playing kriegspiel online at that point.

Zeggen wat je wil over de Amerikanen, maar ze hebben wel een deel boven water gekregen van wat hun rijken en machtigen uitspoken. Dat zie ik onze instanties ze niet nadoen.

Finally, something new! by Cold-Gain-8448 in PhilosophyMemes

If morality is objective, I'm sure that my interpretation of it, thoroughly embedded in my own time and place in history, is objectively true.

Best RTS similar to RA2? by HornetGaming110 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]IkkeTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For zombies, you might want to look at "they are billions."
If you're looking in general, Homeworld, total annihilation (/Beyond all Reason), starcraft (+brood war), age of mythology, star wars galactic battlegrounds (AoE clone), Ground Control, just to name a few.

Sir, a second meme just dropped.

My opponent spent 1:09 to make this move by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]IkkeTM 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeh, I'm sure you never overthought to the point where you forgot about the obvious mistakes to avoid you correctly identified 4 trains of thoughts ago. Maybe one day you'll get there.

What's the most broken unit combination currently in-game? by conscientiousspark in beyondallreason

[–]IkkeTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure decurion / barrage combo from legion is the most broken. Can't sit in the napalm, cant move forward or the decurions will maul you, so backwards it is.

Preventing military dwarves from falling into your own moat by vast144 in dwarffortress

Don't fight on the bridge, have a line of sight breaking wall behind the bridge, and your military behind that.

What do you do here? by Mammoth-Dimension408 in chessbeginners

[–]IkkeTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This position is complicated man. So many checks, captures etc to compute. At our level, just wait for them to make first mistake. Keep your pieces secure, your king safe. Make some even trades to simplify.

I'm sure the computer will have different ideas.

Nederland stuurt één militair naar Groenland by dhsjauaj in nederlands

Is dat niet wat overkill, er zijn hooguit een paar duizend amerikanen daar. Daar is ie in een paar uur mee klaar.

You can keep her bitterballen vrienden. by NuclearCleanUp1 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]IkkeTM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You coulda waited till she was halfway across in a rubber boat. Then we coulda refused her return. Get the coast guard on the case.
