I would like to take a timeout to announce a world first:

Yesterday I posted;

"What is the expected number of random numbers, uniformly distributed from 0 to 1, needed for the sum to be greater than 1"

For the first time EVER a question confounded the viewer. Way to go… me!

A small town in Alaska is approaching winter. Because the soil will soon freeze they need to dig enough graves in the town cemetery now in anticipation of the number of deaths until the ground thaws in spring. The town's population is 1000 and it is assumed that each person has a 1% chance of dying during the winter.

What is the least number of graves should they dig so that the probability of having enough is at least 90%

What about 95%

And 99%

Well hello stranger! You are back and in rare form I see.

Well, hello to you sweet Shari, you have done a great job keeping this thread in order. I would be back more often if only I could answer your darn tricky riddles. I'm beginning to think you must be giving Mark the answers. He cant be that smart, can he?

jes' guessing:

CH POORRI - gap between rich and poor?

EgIoGgHoT etc - eighties band, Go Betweens?

A bit convoluted, I know .....

That is very good

I was more thinking; break of dawn. :wink:


My last three letters are a vehicle. Remove my first two letters & change my next to last letter & you have a type of bird


Remove my first three letters & read me backward & you have an animal. I am the text of a musical composition

Sorry Imur...close on the 1st one!
Just lemme know when yall want the answers!!

I am sorry to say I wont be posting much more tonight, I have an essay due tomorrow on the compare and contrast of the movies Clueless and Emma, both based on the same Jane Austin novel "Emma". So I will be locked away in my bedroom with a bowl of popcorn for the evening.

"What is the expected number of random numbers, uniformly distributed from 0 to 1, needed for the sum to be greater than 1?"

I've been a bit busy lately, but I haven't forgot about this one. I've been mulling over an approach. Don't post the answer yet.

RANDOM NUMBERS
If I had to guess, I would have guessed e, since it pops up everywhere and seems to be in the ballpark. I came up with a method (it involves computing the volumes of hypercubes with corners cut off) that yields e. I didn't get past a 3-D cube, but extrapolated what seemed to be the pattern for the formula.

Try's wishin' he was Orville Reddenbacher...
