A math problem

[Drew]

Got some time on my hands at the moment...

[Marmoot]

If the correct answer is 50%, you'd only have 25% chance of getting it right, so it's wrong.
But if the answer is 25%, you'd have 50% chance of getting it right, so it's wrong too.
So I think the proper answer is 7.

[Edbear]

The answer is always 42... :cool:

[Maha]

Theres a 50% chance you will choose 1 of the 25%'s as being the correct answer...so it cant be either of those..

The answer is... 60% ..being the greater, not a lesser percenatage of choice, which by chance is is all you got at the end of the day.

[avgas]

2%
The other 98% of the time people don't know what the fuck they are doing.

Hey what the ... I ordered a Big Mac combo with a hot apple pie!

[Deano]

I thought you said it wasn't a math problem Drew ?


I like the people who say....1,000,000%
It can only ever be 100%.



So what percentage of 10 is 15 ?

150 % maybe ?

I understand simple math, not that crazy shit....:lol:
As a saying...some use the term '' I am 1,000% sure of it''...

"If there is an exception to every rule, then every rule must have at least one exception; the exception to this one being that it has no exception." "There's always an exception to the rule, except to the exception of the rule—which is, in of itself, an accepted exception of the rule."

[Akzle]

e) yes.

It isn't, but "word problem" would have gotten fewer looks.

[ducatilover]

It depends on how random your random answer is. The answer is rainbow. http://www.gesshoku.org/images/imagecache/favoritecolor.jpg

[george formby]

That has got me quite tickled.

Gonna stick it on the wall to bamboozle my customers.

Any hoo, it's 50:1 pre mix.

[Jantar]

It just so happens that I have been revising this very subject quite recently so can give a very precise answer.

P(Rnd(A : D l A=D) = (B.AD!)^0.5

So easy really. :mellow:

[MisterD]

Maths, the word is maths.

Fucken seppos...

[Drew]

Fucken seppos...The word is mathematics. Maths is not a word at all either...Pedant.

Shit I thought he was talking about Meth so paid no interest

[Quasievil]

The Answer is Drew is a cock !

[SMOKEU]

Fuck maths.

[Brian d marge]

If you re arrange it so that you end up with ; (-1)^1/2 (2^3 ) ∑ ∏

and we all like to have done this , I know !

The answer is 33.3%

[caspernz]

The answer is 33.3%

Technically you're correct. And Miss Stephens, my algeBRA teacher with 38DDs was also able to bamboozle boys...without even asking a question...:Oi:

Nope. 'fraid not.

[davebullet]

its B- 50%

[mossy1200]

The probability of random selection of the correct answer is zero based on the selection of 3 possible outcomes and 4 possible choices where 2 choices would be correct making them incorrect. Two rights do make a wrong even though two wrongs dont make a right.

[Jantar]

its B- 50%

Can't be. :no: There is only a 25% probability of randomly selecting B.

[FJRider]

If there are four questions ... if there were four different answers ... it would be 25%.

Two answers were 25% ... so the answer was not then 25%. It could be 50%.

But 50% was one answer ... one of the four answers ... therefore the answer is 25%.

But as 25 % is two of the answers ... it must be 50%


DAM ... I'm going for a beer ...

[Brett]

You all forgot to work out the average and carry the 1.

[Drew]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, this is almost as good as a real merry go round.

But not as satisfying as the first cigarette of the day.

[DEATH_INC.]

Why did I just waste .34% of my day looking at this???

[Berries]

Wow. They still have blackboards in NZ schools? I thought old whatserface would have got them banned along with the gollywogs.

They're now painted green to avoid any racial implication ...

"Math" and "gotten" used in the same thread? The BDOTGNZA don't approve.

[Bald Eagle]

Been around awhile now and stil haven't figured out what the BDOTGNZA is ?

[Drew]

But not as satisfying as the first cigarette of the day.I'm over that now...Sort of.

[Berries]

Form a circle with your thumb and first finger and then gently move your hand backwards and forwards whilst saying it.

Does that help?

[steve_t]

The bee-dot-ginza is a secret society. I hear that you must apply to join and only when you join will you be told what it is. However, there's a 99% chance your application will be declined ;)

[ducatilover]

"Math" and "gotten" used in the same thread? The BDOTGNZA don't approve.

"Math" is perfectly acceptable, in Amuuurica.

[Berries]

"Math" is perfectly acceptable,
If you are a priest with a lisp maybe.

[Brian d marge]

(-1)^1/2 (2^3 ) ∑ ∏

Im surprised no one got this one

Especially those who love pie

Stephen

[ducatilover]

The choir boy will have a worse lisp.
Math (with a period, must be female) was writ before maths in official print.
Apparently, what do I know? I have a GN250.

The BDOTGNZA dislikes Americanisms. Particularly prissy naff ones, like "ass", hence the organisation's name.

Kiss my ass BDOTGNZA!

[Madness]

So nobody's managed to solve Drews problem yet then?

Would math. be acceptable?
I like the BDOTGNZA.
Ass? Jesus had one, he tied it to a tree.

[jasonu]

The answer is always 42... :cool:

Yes but they never did give the question B7

[Berries]

Apparently, what do I know? I have a GN250.
Exactly. I am surprised that they let you post on a motorbike forum.

[Katman]

So nobody's managed to solve Drews problem yet then?

Are you fucking kidding?

I haven't even worked out what Drew's problem is yet.

[huff3r]

Answer is actually 0%. Cos everyone will pick A or D hoping they will have more chance of getting it right, when in fact it is B.

[Drew]

You're over thinking it. The question, and the answers on the board are completely unrelated. The question asks if you choose an answer at random,so any thought given to the numbers on the board is redundant.

There is no right answer.

[Madness]

There is no right answer.

In that case this thread is pointless and I propose it be banished to the halls of pink.

[Drew]

In that case this thread is pointless and I propose it be banished to the halls of pink.I put it here, so that people would actually give it some thought, instead of jokes and humor where it actually should be.

[huff3r]

Well if you pick at random then A and D are both right. Multi-guess question huh?

[Jantar]

Well if you pick at random then A and D are both right. Multi-guess question huh?

Both A and D cannot be right, because there is a 50% chance of selecting either A or D, (and 0% chance of selcting both of them). The only choice with an answer of 50% is B, but there is only a 25% chnace of selecting B, so that can't be the correct answer either.

[blairnz]

I love the question and the response. :)

[p.dath]

Got some time on my hands at the moment...

What does "correct" mean? I can randomly choose A through D - but that doesn't indicate which is correct. The fact that one value is repeated doesn't mean anything.
