/sci/ - Science & Math

All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves.

yes in a way
energy can be mass or charge
or the speed of a particle
energy can be everything in the universe something like universal currency

Let us say there is a card game called hi/lo with the following rules:

The dealer puts five cards from a full 52-card deck face down on a table, in a row. Then he turns one additional card face up.

The player then says whether he thinks the first card in the row is lower or higher in value than the upturned card (aces are low). If he's correct, he then guesses if the next card in the row is lower or higher than the card which has just been revealed. And so forth down the line.

The player only wins if he makes it through all five cards without guessing incorrectly.

With perfect play, what are the player's odds of winning?

inb4 homework, this is a game we play at my workplace.

Cool or warm, /sci/?

You may never feel the other again once you choose, so choose wisely.

Whew.
We've gotten all the (good) form submissions in.
We still need to organize some of the sections and then, once that's done, possibly reorganize the whole thing (Proposals wanted!)


Keep the links coming and we'll keep adding 'em!

You flip 4 coins. What's the probability that at least one of them is tails? Describe the solution as a sum of probabilities.

You have two computers, at least one of which has a fried HDD. What are the odds that the other computer's HDD is fried?

Is the statement

"everyone likes John's shirt"

a fact or an opinion?

are humans inherently fascist, /sci/?

Let's see if /sci/ really does know math.

Here's a simple problem - without looking it up, within 30 seconds of seeing this post:
Post the quadratic formula
Post regardless of whether you have the answer or not.

If you have to cheat, you should/will be expelled from /sci/ / your school.
