    Eh. My example wasn't anywhere near that deep. It was just to illustrate that an enormous number of trials doesn't necessarily guarantee you'll hit what the math says, even though you'll be close.

    Like I said, just splitting a hair because I'm anal like that.

    You'll get 5000000000 heads, 5000000000 tails, and 1 time standing on its edge.

    I saw it on the Twilight zone.

    This same thread repeats every time we talk about anything random. I bet I could find 4 other threads that have virtually identical posts.

    This is why you don't bring up math in Blue Gartr. One half of the room will come up with answer A and argue it against answer B. Somehow, math results change from player to player.

    No, math application changes from person to person.

    Math results are ALWAYS the same. That is the beauty of math.

    They may be the same but people view them different.

    Different application can mean different results.

    People take high school calculus and think they're fucking geniuses. It comes down to, you either won or you didn't.

    And we still need a statistically significant number of threads before we can do the math properly on them.

    So I just realized that a couple of people were arguing that math is open to interpretation.

    I don't know what to say to that.... oh wait, I do!

    Your mom is open to interpretation.

    To be fair, math result are only always the same when done correctly.

    Also, words.
