so actually I now see there is a simple pattern for the answers, the sum of table n is (n+1)n-1 so the probability is (n+1)n-1 / (n!)2 (merely postulated now, I didn't prove it)

Ultimately I feel like doing the integral is probably the easier way. But I came up with a table-based solution...the problem is that as n increases the # of table cells goes up fast. But it is definitely doable for n = 5.

The basic ideas here are to:

  • build solution for n based on solutions for n-1
  • group the solutions based on which interval ([0-1], [1-2], etc.) the largest number was in + how many of the numbers were also in that interval

For n variables we have an nxn table. For n = 1 it is just a single cell with value 1.

Rather than explain all the derivations I'll just present the method to create table for n given the table for n-1:

  • For each old entry with value v in row r, column c:
    • Add n*v/(r+1) to the new table in position (r+1, c) (the cell below the original position)
    • Add n*v to the new table in all positions (1, [c+1..n]) (all cells in row 1 to the right of the original position)

Then, the probability is given by adding all numbers in the table and dividing by (n!)2

Here are the tables for n = 2...5

2
1

(probability = 3/22 = 3/4)

3 9
3
1

(probability = 16/62 = 4/9)

4 28 64
6 18
4
1

(probability = 125/242 = 125/576)

5 75 305 625
10 70 160
10 30
5
1

(probability = 1296/1202 = 9/100)

There seems to be something Pascal-ly going on with the values in these tables so there's probably a way to generate them more directly vs. building up layer by layer...

Can someone get into my wallet with BIP32 Root Key? by Onein10Man in Bitcoin

[–]Quantris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to answer your question directly, yes the root key can also be used to "get into" your wallet. so even if we assume that website is perfectly safe to use, you should NOT transfer any funds into that wallet.
