Annika is beautiful

2019-10-30 00:29:29 UTC  

watch stream

2019-10-30 00:29:45 UTC  

i need to make sure thats right though

2019-10-30 00:29:53 UTC  

.5 -.25 - .125

2019-10-30 00:29:55 UTC  

anika is ok

2019-10-30 00:30:32 UTC  

using geometric series, we get 0.5 / ( 1 - 1/8) = 4/7 for the first person

2019-10-30 00:30:37 UTC  

2/7 for second

2019-10-30 00:30:40 UTC  

1/7 for third

2019-10-30 00:30:59 UTC  

Why use a geometric series? I’ve never heard of this before.

2019-10-30 00:31:08 UTC  

because the game could in theory go on forever

2019-10-30 00:31:22 UTC  

the annika i know is deep blue

2019-10-30 00:31:30 UTC  

Ohhhhh

2019-10-30 00:31:43 UTC  

Why not use the product rule?

2019-10-30 00:31:44 UTC  

not math nerd lets hit <#634422648063131668> <:dab:395562678153904128>

2019-10-30 00:31:52 UTC  

person A will get a 0.5 chance of winning, then he gets a 2nd chance ONLY IF all other plays got tails AND he also got tails... so each turn his chance of winning goes down by 1/8

2019-10-30 00:32:00 UTC  

Is the product assuming the order of winning and losing?

2019-10-30 00:32:03 UTC  

I didn't use a geometric series I just thought about what would happen <:autistic:435640902224969729>

2019-10-30 00:32:20 UTC  

autism

2019-10-30 00:32:35 UTC  

i will play elsa skin in fortnite who is mad

2019-10-30 00:32:35 UTC  

so his chance of winning is 1/2 + 1/8 * 1/2 + (1/8)^2 * 1/2 + ...

2019-10-30 00:32:50 UTC  

yeah geometric series is the canonical way

2019-10-30 00:33:01 UTC  

but if you consider relative probabilities and know probs add up to 1

2019-10-30 00:33:03 UTC  

its easy

2019-10-30 00:33:13 UTC  

LOL

2019-10-30 00:33:13 UTC  

That’s actually so cool.

2019-10-30 00:33:16 UTC  

@ALternativeToLife why are you poopoo now?

2019-10-30 00:33:17 UTC  

i like to get answers 2 or more different ways though

2019-10-30 00:33:20 UTC  

this stream is funny

2019-10-30 00:33:22 UTC  

to show i really understand a concept

2019-10-30 00:33:26 UTC  

i am always poopoo

2019-10-30 00:33:35 UTC  

yeah

2019-10-30 00:33:44 UTC  

if poopoo is taken from me i will complain

2019-10-30 00:33:53 UTC  

so you do use the product rule Helton, but you then need to use it and apply the geometric series formula

2019-10-30 00:34:18 UTC  

JF btfo this female, "i think you watch too much anita sarkeesian"

2019-10-30 00:34:23 UTC  

kek

2019-10-30 00:34:34 UTC  

JF is on the discount beauty and the beta show

2019-10-30 00:34:43 UTC  

oof

2019-10-30 00:34:45 UTC  

tru

2019-10-30 00:34:50 UTC
