I once had a fairly drunken conversation with a chap in the pub who asked me the following;

Would you rather have a duck sized horse, or a horse sized duck?

Much discussion ensued.

And now back to my year end! :)

i had a drunken conversation with a german chap earlier this year who tried to convince me that the german word for horse is klippen-kloppen.

There are 5 lemon sweets and 4 orange sweets in a bag. Kiran takes one of the sweets at random and eats it. Claire then takes a sweet at random. Calculate the probability that they both take a sweet of the same flavour.

Easy - it's 50/50

Either they will or they won't

This statistical simplifier can be applied to everything involving probabilities...

...probably.

I tried that probability Q and hurt my head.

I know it's probability of one sweet ( 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) then dunno where to go after that..

My secondary school maths teacher really wasn't lying when she said I'd need maths after school :no2:

The probability of either of these being correct is probably slightly higher than the probability of me knowing the probability of the sweet question.

Maybe

All silliness aside, though, I think the answer to the sweets question is 4/9.

    • Really well done, Primavera. Maybe the biggest name on the lineup as a surprise. (Ecpecially if Robert joins this)
    • There's one way it can get bigger- if Robert Smith joins her on stage
