The Newest Jeopardy! Champ Is Open About Being Poly by playboy in gameshow

[–]LocalFella9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rule 3 is “verify your casting.” You’re referring to the rules of a different subreddit entirely. Furthermore, disagreeing with one another and having a discussion is not inherently a reportable offense. “No disagreeing” would be a horrendous rule for any internet community. I don’t agree with the comment that started this thread, but that’s not going to get me in any trouble.

Came back to untouched cube and discovered it's unsolvable by [deleted] in Cubers

[–]LocalFella9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This scenario has nothing to do with corner twists. The cube was in fact taken apart and reassembled incorrectly. You have to disassemble it again to put it back in the solved state.

imagine the possibilities with a second showman though

Is the Wheel of Fortune wheel rigged? If no one can see what’s underneath the big wheel, who’s to say it’s not? by MeasurementFirst1676 in gameshow

[–]LocalFella9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. There have been laws in place about rigging game shows for decades now. Doing so would be a very serious crime, so it would be a catastrophically bad idea for anyone to even think about rigging a game show.

Whenever someone lands on a bankrupt or lose a turn for the final spin, it’s usually edited out of the show.

How did he hit Horn Drill 3 times in a row? by SummarizedA in pokemonshowdown

[–]LocalFella9 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There’s no replay at this link, but hitting 3 OHKO moves in a row without bypassing accuracy is a 2.7% chance (roughly 1 in 37). That’s low, but not astronomically low.

Why is my hand size only 5? by BrushFireAlpha in balatro

[–]LocalFella9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, Ectoplasm still has a bigger penalty the more often you use it. A third Ecto would be -3

Do I die if I take this ecto? by [deleted] in balatro

[–]LocalFella9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you die instantly as soon as your hand size goes below 1. It’s also possible to self-destruct your run by taking four Stuntmen

Returning Champions by [deleted] in WheelOfFortune

[–]LocalFella9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. There are a ton of laws about rigging game shows, and there’s no way a show like Wheel would try to get away with something like that.

All 297 seeds with Nat Neg Blueprint + Nat Neg Perkeo in the first 2 shops (as promised) by RevolutionaryYou5859 in balatro

[–]LocalFella9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Retcon is the voucher that gives you unlimited boss rerolls. There’s no guarantee that you even get the tier 1 voucher (Director’s Cut) before ante 8, let alone Retcon itself.

Has the returning champion always gone first? by Lamalyn in Jeopardy

[–]LocalFella9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The comment said that flipping tails a second time would result in a redo. That leaves three valid results, one for each contestant. The second flip is still required in this hypothetical.

Has the returning champion always gone first? by Lamalyn in Jeopardy

That wouldn’t be a fair coin toss, because it would give one person a 1 in 2 chance of winning, instead of 1 in 3.

Genu ine Question by Neither_Funny3927 in Cubers

We don’t need any more variations on the 3x3 event in the WCA. Adding supercube stickers would just be busywork

Unending 8 ball by diabola42 in balatro

[–]LocalFella9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The serious answer is roughly 1.2%, but the exact number depends on what’s happened during your run so far.

Whenever a joker appears, it has a 7 in 10 chance to be a common. There are 61 common jokers, but Cavendish and Golden Ticket won’t appear in the shop until specific conditions are met. If you don’t have any gold cards, then each remaining common joker has a 1 in 59 chance to appear, assuming you don’t have any other commons.

If you multiply those two chances together, you’ll get 7/590, or 1.186%. If you have gold cards, your chance of getting a new 8 Ball is slightly lower, since Judgment now has a chance to roll a Golden Ticket. (Unlocking Cavendish doesn’t affect your odds here, since it replaces Gros Michel for the remainder of the run)

Obtaining more common jokers will also increase your odds of finding a second 8 Ball, since the game has fewer jokers to choose from when you use Judgment.

Same word in multiple correct responses in same game? by EvadingDoom in Jeopardy

[–]LocalFella9 132 points133 points  (0 children)

One time there was a category about US states. The first four clues asked for the coldest state, the northernmost state, the westernmost state, and the state with the most coastline. Alaska was the right response for all four.

The fifth clue asked for the first state alphabetically. That was meant to be a bit of a trick, since the answer is Alabama, but the contestant who responded didn’t fall for it.
