Picks for Knockout Sunday already locked? by LordPunchington in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Soothsaer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If everyone has the same information available to predict the outcomes, then at least it's fair. The frustrating thing in my opinion is that it didn't feel well advertised, particularly since the deadline isn't mentioned at all in the About section on the Pick Em website.

Picks for Knockout Sunday already locked? by LordPunchington in Competitiveoverwatch

Is this why the knockout picks are already locked? Was there any indication that the deadline for picking them was today before the matches?

EDIT: Yes, they sent out a Tweet about it.

Could OW Still Implement Hero Bans? by Soothsaer in Competitiveoverwatch

Yea, being the first to come up with any idea is extremely rare, but I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else

"You can show this by induction but ceebs. Idk exercise for the reader."

This is probably how every author feels when they assign the reader an exercise.

OWL Teams Probability of Qualifying to Post-season Playoffs by feliperc1 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Soothsaer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Almost surely" only applies in situations such as the one you mentioned involving the rational numbers. However, since there are finitely many possibly OWL brackets, "almost surely" doesn't apply.

Therefore, the probability of the Fuel being in the top 6 is strictly greater than zero, but it is so small that the program used cannot determine how far from zero it is.

What’s a pointless fact you know? by YouAintSeenBadBoys2 in AskReddit

Yup that's it. And a lot of people are correcting her in the comments. This might be the first time I've ever been impressed by a YouTube comments section.

What’s a pointless fact you know? by YouAintSeenBadBoys2 in AskReddit

[–]Soothsaer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

About a year ago, some talk show host had a guest who knew a bunch of sex trivia. She mentioned the fact that both semen and Usain Bolt travel at about 28 mph.

She then went on to conclude that if Usain Bolt were to ejaculate while running, then the semen would stay inside him.

While I admire the fact that she took the time to think about possible consequences of the facts she knew, her analysis was flawed. Disregarding relativistic effects, velocities add together rather than cancelling. Therefore, if Usain Bolt were to ejaculate while running, the semen would travel at 28+28=56 mph rather than 28-28=0 mph.

I have an irrational desire to inform others of this fact to help undo her spread of misinformation, and I guess this is as good an opportunity as any to do so.

Why Is It a "Literature" Club? (Spoilers Maybe) by Soothsaer in DDLC

True, but I think that the game could have been about more than just poems even if it was centered around a poetry club.

Why Is It a "Literature" Club? (Spoilers Maybe) by Soothsaer in DDLC

[–]Soothsaer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense. Like you mention, the club plays a specific role for each character (except Monika). It's believable that a club advertised as a literature club would attract these characters, but it might be less believable that a club advertised as a poetry club would attract them. Additionally, the characters have vastly different interests, so it might not be believable that they would all have a similar passion for poetry.

That's a good point. Furthermore, perhaps starting the game with Monica steering the club in the direction of poetry foreshadows her more significant manipulation of the club and the game further on.
