so the expected number of total flips for everyone is 1 / p is i believe

2019-12-05 06:06:19 UTC  

50%

2019-12-05 06:06:22 UTC  

oof

2019-12-05 06:06:27 UTC  

i got for the first method

2019-12-05 06:06:38 UTC  

q^(n-1)/(1 - q^n)

2019-12-05 06:06:41 UTC  

and for second method

2019-12-05 06:06:56 UTC  

thats just total flips not for jimmy

2019-12-05 06:07:08 UTC  

oh you mean flips til game ends

2019-12-05 06:07:11 UTC  

yeah

2019-12-05 06:07:14 UTC  

ok

2019-12-05 06:08:50 UTC  

so a heuristic (not exact) probability would be 1 / pn

2019-12-05 06:09:04 UTC  

the probability of reaching the nth flip is q^(n - 1) i think

2019-12-05 06:11:12 UTC  

so its the sum from i = 1 to i = infinity of q^(i * n) * p

2019-12-05 06:11:40 UTC  

if n = 2 and p = 0.5

2019-12-05 06:12:32 UTC  

thats 0.5 ^ 2 * 0.5 + 0.5 ^ 4 * 0.5 + 0.5 ^ 6 * 0.5... etc

2019-12-05 06:12:35 UTC  

which i think is right

2019-12-05 06:13:06 UTC  

ello my fellow flattists

2019-12-05 06:13:40 UTC  

oh

2019-12-05 06:13:44 UTC  

wrong place

2019-12-05 06:13:47 UTC  

i think most of the flat earthers are offline rn

2019-12-05 06:13:52 UTC  

'good day

2019-12-05 06:13:56 UTC  

lolwhat

2019-12-05 06:29:04 UTC  

earlier, i asked how flat earth accounts for 24 hour sunlight in the antarctic during the summer solstice and citizen ice responded with this gif https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/484516084846952451/652017778206965760/FEEarthBestProof.gif

2019-12-05 06:29:33 UTC  

the problem is that gif contradicts the earlier explanations ive been given for how season work in flat earth?

2019-12-05 06:29:56 UTC  

that clip fails to explain for the antartic

2019-12-05 06:30:07 UTC  

thank you

2019-12-05 06:30:07 UTC  

unless i am misinterpreting it

2019-12-05 06:30:28 UTC  

the sun supposedly rotates in a circle above the earth, with its diameter changing over the course of the year

2019-12-05 06:30:38 UTC  

however, it stays at the same height the whole time

2019-12-05 06:31:09 UTC  

but looking at that gif, under a dome earth, that is impossible

2019-12-05 06:31:13 UTC  

wtf

2019-12-05 06:31:24 UTC  

anyone besides citizen want to help me? not citizen hes annoying af

2019-12-05 06:31:34 UTC  

you'd have to ask a flat earther how it is supposed to work cause idk

2019-12-05 06:31:45 UTC  

the sunlight conseption wouldnt make sense if the earth were flat in the first place

2019-12-05 06:31:46 UTC  

how does that fail to explain the antarctic?

2019-12-05 06:32:12 UTC  

well the antartic... isnt... always... in light?

2019-12-05 06:32:28 UTC  

the antartic is the ice ring around the earth

2019-12-05 06:32:32 UTC  

ur talking abt 24 hour darkness during winter solstice?

2019-12-05 06:32:33 UTC  

~~incorrect~~ yes, but no

2019-12-05 06:32:46 UTC  

thats the winter solstice

2019-12-05 06:33:41 UTC  

if ur talking about the 24 hour periods of darkness, that is supposedly explained because during the winter months the sun is rotating in a small circle around the north pole
