Half marks to markr, (yes that expression is a little puzzle that isn't half puzzling)?

If E = the number of ELVISES
and T = the number of TV's:

Then [(T-1)^E] / [T^(E-1)] is the number of TV's which escaped.

Nice work on the expected value of a binomial probability, markr.

Too late! I'm already there, that's why I get so little net time; we only get one phone card a week!
If you are there wouldn't your phone card melt (you crack me up) oops, that would be humor and I keep getting lost but, I know I am in the riddle thread, at least I think I am.

What number name is typed only with left-hand, or only with right-hand, letters. Question
I also came up with none (those could be considered trivia btw) so maybe I am lost Laughing Laughing

I can't stay but wanted to say why I came up with some nones on my answers (no not nuns, nones)

Typwriter keyboard= The letters were changed back in the 80's so they are not the same as the keyboards we are typing on now for computers.

The left hand right hand I came up with none because I don't believe there is any on the left side (not english anyway) and the right side (still english) you can get million but that would be incorrect I believe because someone would say "one million" not just million.

Just my opinion so the chances of being wrong are high Laughing Laughing Laughing
btw Hi mark and etc you must always be praying. epenthesis, hi to you too.

Jealously is a sin. Ahem! Laughing


"Samuel Clemens wouldn't be proud of you..." Crying or Very sad

True; but E.A.Poe:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'


Who could it be at this time?

This oughta jar your preserves:


I keep a stash of coins to pay the toll crossing on my trips into town; I presently have three more dimes than nickels and two fewer quarters than nickels. When I counted it all up, I had a total of $5.40. A tidy sum I'm sure you would agree.
The question is:

How many of each type of coin do I have Question

NUMBER NAMES: a half is both an (a-m) and a (middle row) rational number that sadly falls short by a half at the integer hurdle.

COINS: Curiously, the total number of coins is the highest original McNugget number.

I found this all rather amusing… Question

1. The equation in Quantum Mechanics which is the analog of Newton's second law in classical mechanics is the Schrödinger equation.

2. One of the strange things about the formalism of quantum mechanics is that, instead of using algebraic symbols to represent quantities which are observed in nature, it uses quantum mechanical operators.

3. The significance of the absolute-square of the quantum mechanical wave function is that it tells us about the probability of finding the particle at a particular position and time.

4. The quantum number in quantum mechanical formalism is similar to the harmonic number for standing waves on a string.

5. The second excited state of a quantum system is the state that is two energy states above the ground state.


Hilarious
