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

Yup, sounds about right! :)

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

    • thanks XXialac! i guess for us the most important aspect will be a festival that starts very late in the day, specially in these southern countries were it can be really hot! The combination of visiting a new city, having good lunches and enjoying a festival is a absolute must for us. Also, we like headliners but the undercard is just as important; truly enjoyed Men I trust, NewDad, Big Thief this year so from that angle it is not really a big thing if a festival is somewhat smaller.    Apparently my bad, i had 5 in my system but 0.5 (10%) increase is still huge. I am not sure how teenagers can afford these prices............
    • That second part was how I felt about Rock IM Park this year trying first. I found that when it gets to like the 3rd act on the main stage down, you've gotta make a choice to miss anything leading up might not enjoy and it's sometimes while closer for not a great view as everyone in turn has to make the call too. Being short doesn't help as I'd just be able be further bacm but still see.
    • I wasn’t slagging Scooter off, they are undeniably silly. As I said, they are the definition of a meme booking for Download. People requested them for years because it was silly.

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉
