Has anyone actually even seen OP's brain?
didn't think so

You are a biologist traveling through a rainforest when you are bitten by a venomous snake. Luckily the antidote to this venom is secreted on the back of the male of a certain species of frog native to this rainforest. You know females and males exist in equal proportion, socialize with each other randomly, and are indistinguishable aside from the fact that females croak randomly but males never croak. Amazingly, you see a frog of this species sitting silently in front of you. You then hear a croak and turn around to see a pair of these frogs where the croak came from. Knowing that you only have enough time to run to the lone frog to lick its back or to the pair to lick both their backs, which direction do you run and what is your chance of survival?

>The Abel Prize for mathematics was on Wednesday awarded to (((Israeli-American Hillel Furstenberg))) and (((Russian-born Gregory Margulis))), both probability experts, the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters said.

>The pair were honoured "for pioneering the use of methods from probability and dynamics in group theory, number theory and combinatorics," the Academy said in a statement.

>Furstenberg, 84, is affiliated with the (((Hebrew University of Jerusalem))), while Margulis, a decade younger, is at Yale University.

>Born in Berlin, Furstenberg and his (((Jewish family))) fled Nazi Germany for the US just before the start of World War II.

>Margulis stood out as a math wiz early on. At age 16, he won the silver medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad, and 16 years later won the prestigious Fields Medal.

>The Soviet authorities however did not allow him to travel to Helsinki to pick up the medal because of discrimination against his (((Jewish origin))). Soviet academics were finally granted more freedom in 1979.

>When it comes to science fiction, where's the point where fictional/bullshit concepts start to lose your interest?
When it tries too hard. Either be magic or be vague, don't try to make it "realistic" because that will inevitably lead to contradiction or just plain old cringe.

You are a biologist traveling through the rainforest when you are bitten by a rare and deadly venomous snake. You know that you only have a few seconds before you pass out and die. You also know that the female of a certain species of frog that inhabits this rainforest secretes the antidote to this venom on its back. Luckily you see a frog of this species a short distance in front of you sitting silently. You then hear a croak behind you and turn around. You see two frogs of this species the same distance in the opposite direction. You realize that you only have enough time to run to the first frog you saw or to the pair and lick their backs. You also know that females and males look identical, are in equal proportion in the population, and that only males croak. Which direction do you run and what is the probabily of survival?
