The worlds first riddle!

Like this...

e = mc^2
s = sqrt( 30df )

Hi Stuh?,,, did you know water seeks it's own level or greater than? I denounce all idiots starting now. Ants are smarter than most people, they don't kill themselves off. If you want to know what to do emulate an ant.

Almost everyone i know sounds as dumb as they look, in other words they have no decent or intelligent thoughts of their own. It's a shame peoples's thinking and selves have expired. I Pjgy will not be seeing any of you expired people in hell as i have nothing to say to you.

I don't know since I can't show the symbol on the computer

I told that person I would show it as:

E=M(C[C])
&
S= squareroot(30df)

That person laughed at me
So, I don't know how to show it???

Hi etc and btw stu I saw your self-portrait. You are really good.

Yeah! That's what I tell the judge every time.

Regretfully, ?'innocence' and I are strangers.

Stuh:

I am very curious what this immensely beneficial strategy is. The coin flips are independent. All the possible combinations will have the same probability of occurring except for TTT and HHH which have slightly lower probability.

Using a trial series of length 4, the possible flips are (with names):

0000 a
0001 b
0010 c
0011 d
0100 e
0101 f
0110 g
0111 h
1000 i
1001 j
1010 k
1011 l
1100 m
1101 n
1110 o
1111 p

the possible options to pick are:
000 = 3 (a,b,i)
001 = 4 (b,c,d,j)
010 = 4 (c,e,f,k)
011 = 4 (d,g,h,l)
100 = 4 (e,i,j,m)
101 = 4 (f,k,l,n)
110 = 4 (g,m,n,o)
111 = 3 (h,o,p)

Although all of the middle options have the same probability of occurring independently, the probabilities of the others are changed whenever one occurs. We want the total probability of the area covered by our 3 options to be largest.

We can do this by recursively picking an option with the largest number of "letters" (which represent a combination that it appears in), and then crossing out those letters on the remaining options and picking again the option with the largest number of letters.

There are multiple solutions to that...one solution is

001, 110, 010, 011

However I would not describe this as "immensely beneficial", I think its only a slight advantage...




My dear Stuh, what a delightful post to read, please excuse my excitable use of the words, ?'immensely beneficial'. In my village, should a coconut fall to the ground we will all shout that it is immensely beneficial. Of cause we don't shout in English because this is a riddles thread and not Math. However, that does not detract from the clarity of your answer.



Mark had this to say:

Mark;

COIN TOSSES
The strategy is to let you go first. The second player can achieve a win probability of at least 2/3.

Code or Script:
1st 2nd 2nd player's probability of winning
------------------------------------------------
HHH THH ..... 7/8
HHT THH ..... 3/4
HTH HHT ..... 2/3
HTT HHT ..... 2/3
THH TTH ..... 2/3
THT TTH ..... 2/3
TTH HTT ..... 3/4
TTT HTT ..... 7/8



Which I am sure is immensely beneficial because;

The answer is to let Try go first. This puzzle is based on an old game/scam called Penny Ante. No matter what you picked, Try would be able to come up with a combination which would be more likely to beat yours. For example, if you were to choose HHH, then unless HHH was the first combination to come up you would eventually lose since as soon as a Tails came up, the combination THH would inevitably come up before HHH.

The basic formula you can use for working out which combination you should choose is as follows. Simply take his combination (eg. HHT) take the last term in his combination, put it at the front (in this case making THH) and your combination will be more likely to come up first.

No seriously it works, try it on your friends. It has the Mark of approval!

Ok, I have found out why some of the spelling has gone astray. It has to do with holding down the CAPS key when inserting letters in the word. It apparently has a tendency to delete. I will use lower case from now on. Apologies for any confusion; over and above the norm.



TTH wrote, "I owe someone ten bucks?"

Thoh probably thinks that's two deer.



start from here: E=MC*
to end up here: S=?30df

E=mc^2 (1)

Here c is a speed of light. If we speak of distance, in any event, this means the attitude of the way d to time t. So,

c=d/t (2)

Bearing in mind c=const
this attitude defines "the linear expansion of space " in accordance with the existing "analog" (non digital) theory. Having substitute (2) in (1) we get:

E=m(d/t)^2

Whence
t=d/sqrt(E/m)
or
t=d (sqrt m/sqrt E)

Speed s to the square root of the factor of distance d followed by force f we get:

S=sqrt30df





Try recently upset the mob, and the punishment was for two shots to be taken at Try from close range. To make things a little better for the poor sap, Palajoa (head of North East operations) tells him she will place two bullets into a six-chambered revolver in successive order. She will spin the chamber, close it, and take one shot. If Try is still alive, she will then either take another shot, or spin the chamber again before shooting.

Try is a bit incredulous that such a lovely person would carry out the punishment, and a bit sad that she was always such a rule follower. He steels himself as Palajoa loads the chambers, spins the revolver, and pulls the trigger.....





Whew! It was blank… Then Palajoa asks, "Do you want me to pull the trigger again, or should I spin the chamber a second time before pulling the trigger?"

Which should Try choose

shoot again. if she shoots again, there's a 3/4 chance it will be blank (3 bcases where a blank follows a blank). if she spins, it will be random, and only 4/6 or 2/3 chance that it's blank

That is a good one
I will just take your word for it since I have no clue about it.Shoot Try
I hope not
I say pull the trigger again. That was my first thought. I hope there is no bullet in the next round.
SINCE WHEN?
BAD MOON RISING?

Actual solving time was 1-2 minutes - fewer options with shorter message.

wow that makes me feel even better...

so how about the marbles and cups? what's the least number of marbles needed?

TTH wrote, "I owe someone ten bucks?"

I had a dream all evil peoples money and possesions (especially stolen items) burned their bones until they became soup.

thoh and mark nesting and playing with marbles. That is funny
etc you must be related to Try because I have no idea what you are talking about

etc you must be related to Try because I have no idea what you are talking about

O i think you do.

Seriously, I have no idea. You think I do? I really have to think now.

Did someone mention soup?

Just when do 24-hour diners start serving the soup of the day?


Microsoft interview question:

There was this guy walking on the beach when he sees a restaurant. He walks into the restaurant and gets seated. He looks at the menu and orders seagull soup. The waitress brings out the soup; he takes one bite, realizes something and runs to a nearby church.


Can you come up with a believable scenario?

Question: Why did the man freak out


Why are my bones starting to melt!!!





Nesting / part II

How many cups are needed…….[size=7]40[/size]
How many marbles are needed...[size=7]100[/size]

It sounds like you are very angry and are telling me to go to hell. Did I get that right?

Tryagain,

Unfortunately that strategy is useless because the question said that you have to pick the combinations first...I think the strategy I provided is still probably the best given this requirement

TTH,

Thank you. Regarding your question on mathematical notation, the notation that I have already described to you is the standard way to write it using plain text when.

he was stranded on an island and his shipwrecked/airplane-crashed buddies fed him seagull soup to survive, but it was really soup made from his dead wife/son/friend...so when he ordered seagull soup, it tasted like nothing he ate on the island and realized he ate his wife/son/friend so ran to the church to confess....heard it before with albatross sandwich and suicide at the end



...sorry no

MARBLES
[size=8]10 marbles are required.

All 55 cups are nested into one column. The tenth cup from the bottom has one marble. Nine cups higher there is one marble. Eight cups higher there is one marble. The process continues until the top cup has a one marble.

The bottom 10 cups contain all 10 marbles. The next nine cups contain 9 marbles (all but the one below them). Again, the process continues.[/size]

I interpret it to mean that when we all (P-jiggy included) get to hell, she's going to avoid us - probably wants to get on satan's good side. She seems to have plenty to say to us here (from which I deduce that we are not currently in hell - although she seems hell bent :wink: on punishing us for something).

great!

Good morning sunshine. I have recanted, so I will sure miss you guys and guyettes when I am up in heaven catching a few rays and you are all in the bowls of depravity, lecherously, decadence, debauchery, licentiousness, shamelessness, immorality and impiety; don't forget to send me an invite!

Cups / Marbles Pt. III


14 cups
15 marbles

Well since Mr. Gates lives by me I called him and asked. He said something about an employee who was having seagull soup and suddenly remembered that Mr. Gates is very fond of seagulls and owns one. This guy all of a sudden thought oh no, what if Mr. Gates left his window open at his house and this seagull was his own personal one and flew out and was caught to make this soup. So, he felt really guilty and ran to the church to pray that it was not Mr. Gates own personal seagull. While at the church this guy noticed the windows were open and since it was cold outside he would do the right thing and close them. There were ten to close but he could only close 9 of them because one was stuck. No one was around so this guy went to the bar next door and asked the bartender if he had a phone number to get ahold of someone at the church. The bartender said he didn't but not to worry since the church employed a very reliable security guard who was very loyal and trustworthy. On the way out of the bar this guy saw the security guard and told him about the windows and the security guard said that the church was having new windows installed that day so that problem would be taken care of. In talking the two realized they knew each other and used to be friends in school. This guy was wondering how or if he would let Mr. Gates know about the seagull if his ended up missing. Then the alarm clock went off and upon wakening in a pool of sweat he realized it was all a dream. When he got to work he told Bill about his dream. Mr. Gates laughed and said that seagull cost a lot of money and there was no way he was going to lose it.

I don't know. Are you guilty of something.
