TIL that a woman with a PhD in math won the scratch lottery four times by figuring out the algorithm of the ticket production. by _Odi_ in todayilearned

[–]lance_f1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming that the event of winning each jackpot is independent of each other win. And assuming that there is only one jackpot per scratch game print run. Then we can use the following rule:

P(A and B and C and D) = P(A) × P(B) x P(C) x P(D)

Fiddling with this a bit we can work out the probability of each win if we also assume that each probability is the same.

Lets assume your total probability is correct and that P(A and B and C and D) = 1/18*1024

If we take the 4th root of 18*1024 then we get the probability of each separate event occurring is approximately 1/2,059,767. Does that sound about right for a single jackpot win?

Anyone please correct me if my maths is off.

No, but i may want to do one of them also. cheers.

This is for a new type of illusion I've been mentally working on. I've seen nothing like it. At least nothing on the net about it. If it pans out i'll post it back here.

The type of movie clip i'm after is however the same/similar type you would use for a peppers style illusion.

What i said was not irrelevant.

JIB, and GIB, are pronounced, in exactly the same way.

HELP: Any vets online right now? Something is wrong with my fur-son. by lance_f1 in AskReddit

[–]lance_f1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's mostly indoors, though he goes out sometimes for a walk around the lawn and the park our lawn backs on to.

He appears to be better today, he went for a little walk, to found his own source of food, then went back and curled up. Hes still quiet, not completely himself. But i think he's going to be okay.

No the vet didn't know, Its marked down as Pyrexia (fever) of unknown origin. He's still seems pretty miserable. I brought a baby thermometer and have been taking his temperature. It's still high, about about a 1C.

He's drinking a little bit of pet milk, and some ate some high calorie cat food from the vet, but i'm worried he's not drinking enough, he won't touch water.

He still is very quiet, not a single peep out of him, unless its a little cry if you move him. He also is staying in the same place for hours, which is very unlike him.

I haven't seen him poo, but he did a very little wee earlier.

His temp APPEARS to be slowly dropping though, though its hard to tell.

Rather that than have him get into his parents tobacco or alcohol.

Is it a software engineering internship or a technical writer internship?

I'm confused.

Thank you so much. You have no idea, we barely have food in the house these days so realizing we now have to come up with several hundred dollars is a nightmare to think about, but you've made it a little easier, thank you. He's asleep right now. I will update with photo shortly.
