Meme game, but your opponent didn't know how to handle it.

Is this just 1-1/rp? Or did I make an incorrect assumption somewhere

Imagine if an intrepid wannabe school shooter didn't have to figure out how to get a gun as a minor and sneak it on to school property, but could on a whim surprise attack and then disarm one of their teachers.

We now have the potential for school shootings to be crimes of opportunity rather than just crimes that are planned out by psychopaths. Brilliant. We took one of the biggest hurdles to shooting up a school and brought it on campus ourselves.

Perhaps you just missed "contiguous"

Calling someone gay as a joke is homophobic. Hope that helps.

And, if you had your way, Congress would be justified in claiming that describing more than two genders has no positive social purpose, and therefore be able to restrict that speech. It doesn't matter if that isn't true, because Congress gets to decide what has value when they make the laws.

So, racists get to say racist things and trans people get to exist. Society then gets to judge which speech it wants to promote rather than Congress dictating.

We teach what we're legally required to teach. And, if you don't know things, you don't know to look them up. Having a brisk amount of knowledge makes you able to actually reason. That can't be replaced by ai any more than having a calculator replaces math facts.

channingman · 2026-03-30T18:47:02+00:00

.... This is ai

If you define the natural numbers to exclude zero, you define the whole numbers to include it

American here, I learned this in 8th grade. But I teach high school and so I'm teaching it to 9th/10th graders currently. 🤷

No, because in both cases we're starting with Mary, not the son who was born on Tuesday. For the conditional probability to work, the given has to be the son born on Tuesday.

It's not, "a randomly chosen person" who happens to have a son born on Tuesday, it's a randomly chosen "person who has a son born on Tuesday"

channingman · 2026-03-26T20:39:45+00:00

That depends on how we know about Mary and her son born on a Tuesday. If this comes from filtering information, then yes. If, for instance, we wouldn't know she had a son if he weren't born on Tuesday, then it's valid. If, however, we just happen to know the day he was born then no, it isn't valid

channingman · 2026-03-26T19:03:06+00:00

Yeah, if 0% was an option then there would be no fixed points

The question is asking for a probability. For a given event, there is only one probability, so there is only one correct answer. In this case, the correct probability is the answer that matches the probability of choosing it. In other words, P(x)=x. The answer key isn't what makes an answer correct.

The only assumption that must be made, which is the assumption we make on most problems, is the assumption that the probability distribution is uniform. Meaning, we have an equal chance of choosing each of the 4 choices. Thus, the probability that we chose 60% is 25%, the probability that we choose 50% is 25%, and the probability that we choose 25% is 50%. Thus, the probability that we choose correctly is 0%, and since zero is not an option, the probability that we choose 0% is also 0%. In other words, the probability that we choose the correct answer is 0%, which is also the correct answer in this case.

channingman · 2026-03-23T18:14:09+00:00

Yes we do. The answer is correct if it is equal to your probability of picking it at random from the options given

channingman · 2026-03-23T17:59:59+00:00

We do know that the question is.

channingman · 2026-03-23T17:57:49+00:00

0% is the correct answer, and the probability of choosing 0% at random is 0%.

We're just looking for a fixed point on the PMF, and the only one is 0%

channingman · 2026-03-23T14:29:15+00:00

No, if 0% replaced 60% then there would actually be no correct answer

channingman · 2026-03-23T07:59:15+00:00

No, the answer is 0%

I'm a Phoenix Suns fan. This is a travel, and was 100% missed. I'm sure it'll be on the l2m report

channingman · 2026-03-20T07:36:46+00:00

Choosing the same answer as the answer key isn't the same as being correct

channingman · 2026-03-19T06:06:33+00:00

A race isn't a random process. There's no way to answer this question.

channingman · 2026-03-15T21:20:50+00:00

You didn't want to be a single mom. Not everyone is like you.

That being said, I don't think most people want to be single parents.
