100.

I wonder how that will affect tonight's drawing. I guess the odds of 1-0-0 coming up tonight would be astronomical, since there are now 100 replies to this post.

:1orglaugh

Exactly :thumbsup

To the morons who think that the odds of drawing 9-1-1 on 9/11 are greater than 1:1000.

You are looking to deep into this. You are actually trying to figure out the probability of 9-1-1 being drawn ONLY on 9/11 through out the enitre year and only in NY. Which has nothing to do with the odds/chance of 9-1-1 being drawn on any given day at any given place. In the state of NY on 9/11 there was a 1:1000 chance that 9-1-1 would be the winning numbers period, nothing you say can change that.

You've been served.. move on

Hey, Tera... You didn't scare me off.... I just found it pointless to try to teach someone who lacks the capacity to learn.

Back at ya boy! :ak47:

Lol it was fucking rigged.

I understand.

Kinda like how I just don't get it when you say over and over that 2+2=5 without knowing why or even trying to prove it.

If you are so sure, I'm not sure why you won't take me up on my bet. You stand to make a LOT of money. Here is my offer again, in case you forgot:

----------
Ok, dude.... if you are so sure about this, why don't you put your money where your mouth is?

You say the odds of 911 coming up in a single drawing yesterday (on 9/11) were 1:720,000, right? So by your logic, the odds of 912 coming up in a random three digit drawing today would be the same - 1:720,000.

So, here is what I propose. You be the "house" and I'll be the "gambler." If 912 should only come up once in 720,000 drawings today, you should make a KILLING if you pay me at 100,000:1 odds. Right? I mean, theoretically, after 720,000 drawings, you would win 719,999 of them and lose just one. So, if we bet $1 pert drawing, you would win $719,999 and pay out $100,000 (on the one you lost), netting you nearly $620,000.

Damn! You're gonna be rich!!!!!!

So, let's do it. I must be CRAZY to take this bet at only 100,000:1 odds, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

So, to make sure everything is fair, we will use a random number generator.... maybe www.random.org if that's cool with you. Whatever. Doesn't matter to me.

And then we will start drawing numbers. Every time 912 doesn't come up, I will pay you $1. And then we will draw again. And again, and again, and again. I'll play all day long, as long as you want, and I will keep GLADLY handing you $1 bills every time 912 doesn't come up. But as soon as 912 does come up - yes, today, on 9/12 (odds - 720,000:1 according to you), you have to pay me $100,000.

Sound good? Ready to play? Let's do it! Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!

****

I'm watching CNN right now, and they just went to commercial. They are doing a story on last night's drawing after the break.

****

TERA....
Your bet is absolutely rediculous!!!!! Here is a TRUE bet that I will take you up on.... which pertains to the topic of this thread....
YOU bet me $720,000.00 that 912 will be drawn in the NY State pick 3 Lottery TODAY. And I will bet you DOUBLE, that it WON'T come up today in the NY State Pick 3 Lottery!

Back at ya again! Now... Put YOUR money where YOUR mouth is!

By YOUR odds, YOU'VE got a 1:1000 chance to win!!!... and MY odds are 1:720,000.

So, let's roll!

:eek7

What the fuck are you talking about? How does that have anything to do with anything?

Dude... I'm giving up on you. You're not even making any sense any more. My offer is EXACTLY what we've been talking about. You are just talking crazy now.

And I'll bet you there is a 1:1000 chance of any number you choose to get pulled tonite. I think that pertains to what we are talking about here wanna bet? :Graucho

Have a good day then Tera! :) Enjoy your bliss.

its 1/1000 dammit

Damn... your post disappeared just as I hit reply. What a shame.

I take it you woke up and smelled the roses?

haha... whatever dude.

Discussing this with you is like discussing it with a 5 year old, who I wouldn't expect to understand. Why do I even try?

voodoo, you cant prove the wrong.. insisting wont make it right.. this is math..
it can cost you a lot if something similar involves you and your money one day..

You are all in a senseless argument over the definition of the question, not the answer. That mathematician in that link was NOT wrong. Read closer what he says.

Of course he wasn't wrong. He said the odds of 911 coming up in last night's NY Pick 3 lottery were 1 in 1000.... which is EXACTLY what we (the smart ones) have been saying all along.

Qet Quiet in here and have him settle this.

He already did, and proved himself to be one of the smart ones. Go back a page or so.

Just curious why everyone besides the first poster, thinks they're a badass for having posted the clause of 1:1000?

Tera, Romeo, all you other guys, you aren't badasses and ya didn't serve anyone...

Thanks, move on, I already admitted my ignorance.

This is funny and almost scary that a few people can't grasp such simple concepts. Fuck I'm glad I never joined mensa if they let people in with logic that fucked up.

OKay, smarty pants, explain this.

The same day of the Nov 21st crash in queens, the flight numbers came up on the New jersy lottery.

What is the chance that a catastrophic event will influence random numbers? does anyone else have other instances where this has happened?

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp.../lottery_911_2

massive cocks sister posts here....i never knew

0.

It's just a coincidence that people incorrectly attach meaning to.

That would be if the lotto were once per year...it's daily - try again.

to all the coin flip freaks in this thread...

no wear on the coin here... only problem is it's canadian

it isn't badass to grasp some extremely basic mathematics. it's simply fun to laugh at those who can not do the same.

Well said :thumbsup

There is however, a 1:52,446,392 chance that laughing at mensa members who can't grasp basic mathematics does make you badass.

Funny how some people believe that when a lottery machine hasn't paid out in a while it is more likely to win. heh.

Chances are 1/1000 every day, for each day.

The chances of it being 6 6 6 tomorrow is 1/1000. the chances of it being 9 1 1 the next day is 1/1000. the chances of it being 1 2 3 next week is 1/1000.

The chances if the number matching the month/day (for 3 digits) is 1/1000.

Here's a neat problem to show how badly people suck at math and probability:

What's the chances of a 30 student class having 2 people with the same birthday?

1/1,000?

1/1,000,000?

1/1,000,000,000?

Impossible?

What is your guess? Better yet, what is the answer?

See this article for the answer:

Yup, you're cool. =)

Just a sec, I'm gonna run to http://www.quotesoffthenetforyoursig...dfirsthand.com

Im laughin right now at your lame ass. =) Post a screenshot of your stats again bud? It hasnt been 2 weeks, I miss see'n em

Wasn't really claiming to be a badass, I was really just stating that you were a dumbass.. and trying to make you and everyone else who knows jack shit about statistics understand it a little better.

again you've been served:winkwink:

Stop whining. Christ.

Yep, real easy when you have 30 people posting in front of you saying the same thing... how easy is it to ready the other 30 posts, and just pretend like you know what the flyin fuck you're talkin about?

Im used to 6 digit lotto #'s and the statistics relating to them, not those fuckin pussy 3 digit.

Again, I haven't been served and odds are I have more schooling than you. =) I admitted to being ignorant and not thinking it through.

But, you'll be a fuckin dipshit no matter what you do. =)

Thanks, you've been served, drive up to the next window please.

Jesus, Candid is comin in 2nd to Pornkings now I guess. Fuck

Jesus, man, you just won't stop whining... For the love of god. Middle aged crisis?

You are a moron. But a tough moron who is used to the 6 digit lotto #'s and not the fuckin pussy 3 digit. At least you're a tough moron. :)

Hey, that was clever. I said "stop whining" and you turned around told me I won't stop whining.

Are you in mensa with VooDoo by any chance?

er, er, er... good lord, hire sasush to write your humor.

If only the special olympics had a best insult category, you could quite selling porn, and travel around the country doing that for a living.

Er, er, er...

er er er.... <---- funny stuff

K, now that we've got that settled...

You're right, I'm wrong.

K, thx.

hehe... ditto for me...

Since there are only 365 days in a year, I would of course think anyone that answered higher than 1/365 (which is incorrect, of course) was a complete moron.

BUT, at least I can see where there could be some confusion with this problem for some people. A room full of students isn't quite as cut and dry as ONE simple three digit lottery drawing.

I didn't need to read other peoples post to come up with that, I took stats in school and it's actually pretty simple. Also it was clearly stated in the artical that was linked in the post. By the way incase you're having another ignorant attack, you would use the same formula to calculat the odds of a 3 or 6 number draw.

Ohh and as far as schooling I graduated the University of Tampa with a 3.6 Deans list is a good thing. Ya I'm a dipshit and at 25 I'm sure my net worth is probably more than yours, but thats another story.

You sound like a real valuable asset to Shaw Internet. Brad must be so proud of you. :1orglaugh

"Thanks, you've been served, drive up to the next window please." You do sound good saying that, your probably use to it, but if you're going to diss me don't come back with the same line I used. Thats pretty lame be orignal:winkwink:

why are you laughing? as far as the signature is concerned, I minored in Philosophy. does that make you feel threatened?

sure, i can post another screenshot of my stats if you like.

:Graucho Awww, dont get so upset sugar. :( You sound like a great asset to candid, where would they be with one less gfy spammer? =P

My penis is bigger than yours too, and my IQ is higher, too..

And I've had more sex (with woman, I cant compete on a with guys perspective with you, obviously)

You sound like a real asset to Candid Cam, whoever owns it must be real proud of you :thumbsup

God I love the internet, everyone thinks they're god.

K, thanks I was fiending for another view... start a new thread, it'll be easier.

Thanks.

Holy crap. You do cry a lot when you're wrong, don't you? Are you listening to yourself?

Who's crying? You're bitchin about somethin I didnt even say to you? Damn... Stalker yo
