  1. i would have liked similar experiments in other countries. do you know other people you know in other parts of the world that you can collaborate with?

  5. I'd rather get ads for what I don't need than for things I do but can't afford.

  6. This is just poor semantics. For a start, you can't judge probabilities from one instance of an experiment. Secondly, it depends on what the question is, and it has deliberately been poorly phrased. If you repeat the experiment many times with a fair coin so chance of heads is 1/2, then she'll be woken up twice as often on half the experiments, so if she answers heads she'll be correct 1/3 of the time. Note that the 1/3 answer relies on the probability of heads being 1/2. If it's not, say heads is 1/3, then she'll be correct only 1/5 of the time.

  7.  @Menon9767  YouToob asked for my credit card in order to watch it. I don't want to give them that kind of information.

  9. I had a bit flip in a piece of software I think it was around 30 years ago. I suspected at the time that it might have been a cosmic ray but no one else believed me. At last, I'm vindicated!

  10. what happens with other polynomials besides 3x+1 and other divisors besides 2?

  11. unfortunately we can't test your hypothesis because doing experiments on animals designed to deliberately kill most of them would be unethical.

  12. The "right" answer depends on what the question is. The answer of 1/3 actually depends on the answer being 1/2. If the coin is not fair, then both numbers will change, not just one of them. The answer of 1/3 only comes up because she's deliberately being woken up twice as often in one of the outcomes.

  13. it was flying so close to the sun, i was worried its wings might melt off ... oh wait that's why it used rockets instead.

  14. if discovered, i think we should call it pandora because of all the trouble it's been to find it.
