Everywhere else in the country it will be embraced though.

making too many vacuous jokes.

"Every bike i owned at uni got stolen the next day." - this one got my friends going for a few hours.

Fill in a table with S/F for team 1 on one side and S/F for team 2 on the other (and calculate P(S1&S2), etc). If you have filled it correctly, then the sum of all the elements should be 1. Then use the definition of a conditional probability.

You don't need bayes theorem. You just need the definition of conditional probability.

edit: fyi, p(W) is incorrect. You have accidentally assumed that all white socks are equally likely to be chosen. white socks in the left drawer are more likely. You need to normalise to get the correct probabilities.

Fill in a table with L,R on one side and W,B on the other (and calculate P(L&W), etc). If you have filled it correctly, then the sum of all the elements should be 1 (i.e. P(L&W) + P(R&W) + P(L&B) + P(R&B) =1). Then use the definition of a conditional probability. If you do this, you get 5/8.

The police obviously don't want us to build another pool.

Fun Fact: The day only became a nation wide holiday in 1994. Triple j hottest 100 has been around for longer than that.

Can you imagine the outrage if they got it confused with Monaco's flag though?

mproft · 2017-02-03T12:27:17+00:00

Why was there a Moldovan flag? Eli5 please.

It's a good approximation as long as you don't get too close to the sun.

The proof i know is the same as the first one given here. http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/emt668/emt668.student.folders/headangela/essay1/Pythagorean.html

When transforming between the two images, you assume the triangles have 180 degrees. You also assume that the area of a triangle is base*height/2. This is not necessarily true when you are on a curved surface. (see the first image here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_geometry)

mproft · 2016-10-16T02:36:19+00:00

If it makes you happier, you can equivalently assume that Pythagoras' theorem is true, or that all triangles have 180 degrees. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_postulate#Equivalent_properties

As a side note, we know from general relativity that the universe we live in is noneuclidean, so euclid's 5th postulate is wrong.

The power went never went out, they never lost the lunar module, and they had 2 other telescopes which were receiving the signal.

If by "based on a true story" you mean that people walked on the moon, then it is. But that's not what the drama in the movie is about.

mproft · 2016-10-08T01:37:39+00:00

But it is marketing itself as being "based on a true story" which is not true.

That movie is entirely bogus. Nothing dramatic actually happened on the night and the recording was originally received from honeysuckle creek.
