/sci/ - Science & Math

Are you a fucking retard?

"Unless the person knows the answer..."

In a game of questions, is it surprising to know that to win you must know the answer?

durr? hurr?

there are what? 3 lifelines?

>>4513199
either trolls trolling trolls or you must be new here

samefag detected.

fuck off troll

>>4513199
go away, troll

Im the 99 guy, and not the OP. How the fuck am I the troll here? Hes the one who asked the retarded question.

This is the daily thread that takes a census of how many new users flock into /sci/. Each time a unique IP makes a post like, "Are you a fucking retard?", it gets one head count.

That way, /sci/ mods can analyze the traffic in here and finds way to increase it so that we eventually end up like /b/ or /v/. It's the perfect way to oppress us.

>>4513223

>>4513223

>>4513240
I've been here since 1999. Just because you're a cunt and new here doesn't mean we all are.

>>4513240
Speaking of cunts

>>4513235

lol, troll, 4chan didn't even exist in 2001

now pay attention, and GTFO!!

>>4513240
At least you caught it, the other fellows didn't seem to.

>>4513244

How was that 1 day ban for your shitposting?

>>4513240
>>4513247
This is excellent! I was in the last thread you guys got into it in.

>>4513247
I wasn't banned but the mod kept deleting my posts in that thread so I went over to /fit/ instead

>>4513244
OH GOD, OH GOD LOOK GUYS

11/10 FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

>>4513252

Please don't contaminate /fit/. Thank you.

>>4513259
Implying you or Mothercunt contribute shit to /fit/ , nope!

>>4513258
Lol!!!! Comurdy gold

what bullshit is this? it's 50% chance, either you are right or you are wrong!

>>4513264

I contribute, I just don't go around spouting false information, that's all. I actually try to help.

Let's say there are 15 questions with 4 choices each. Let's also say there are 3 lifelines: call-a-friend, 50-50, and ask-the-audience.

For each of the 15 questions, there is only 1 correct answer, and 3 incorrect answers, so immediately your chances are 1/3 = 33.34%. You can use each lifeline once. Using phone-a-friend, let's say gives you a 95% chance the person you call is correct. So 1 question is 95%. Similarly, we can say ask-the-audience gives you a 95% chance. Finally, 50-50 will remove 2 wrong answers, so you have 1 right answer and 1 wrong answer, so you basically know the answer. To recap:

Question 1: 33.34%
Question 2: 33.34%
Question 3: 33.34%
Question 4: 95% <--- ask-the-audience
Question 5: 33.34%
Question 6: 33.34%
Question 7: 33.34%
Question 8: 33.34%
Question 9: 95% <--- phone-a-friend
Question 10: 33.34%
Question 11: 33.34%
Question 12: 33.34%
Question 13: 33.34%
Question 14: 33.34%
Question 15: 100% <--- 50-50
Total: 690.08%
Divided by 15 questions = 46.00%
So basically, it's more a less a game of chance, but more than half the people on the show will lose, so it's not very fair. That show is making tons of money off of people.

>>4513275
>That show is making tons of money off of people

say what? do people pay to get on this show?

>>4513252

hey blackman do you live on busch?

>>4513281

Yeah, they can't just walk up to the directions and ask to be on it. Getting the first question right (which everyone does) would basically mean giving out $100 to everybody who asked to play.

lolwut.
Why not 1/4 = 25%?

>>4513288

are you stupid? read the whole ARTICLE before saying it's wrong, it's all clearly explained at the later part of that ARTICLE

>>4513288
>For each of the 15 questions, there is only 1 correct answer, and 3 incorrect answers,

>>4513284
Yeah. Joseph does too

>>4513293
>Joseph

>>4513189

you can also be logical, Nixon was an actor, so to that question in the pic, it is only logical only he appeared in "Laugh-in"

>>4513297
His full name is Josephine. Josef is just a nickname

>>4513293

Where at?

and whos joseph

>>4513303
The suites. He used to be a tripfag on this board

>>4513302
There isn't a Josephine in
http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/people/pips/

>>4513312
Hah I wasn't being serious. I just call him Josephine

>>4513307

Cool I live in Thomas suites

>>4513275

The producers can also tilt the odds in their favor by both picking the people who seem dumber and by asking them to fill in a questionnaire and placing questions at crucial moments where they can project is not the persons forte.

>>4513318

>>4513318
Your a bad poaster and you should feel bad.

>>4513331
this

>implying king of sci has any friends

>>4513331
You can check the archive if you want. I know I've called him Josefine/Josephine at least a few times on /sci/

>>4513322
Ah, nice. What's your major?

Hey Blackman,

Everyone hates you

Sincerely /sci/

Why is everyone is being mean to me tonight.

>>4513350
Cool grammar

>>4513340

Was engineering but now Biotech.

Living on busch pretty much sucks, the only thing good about it was that all my classes were here but now that changed

lol I think I found Josef

http://www.physics.rutgers.edu/people/pips/Bennett.html

holy /b/

>>4513350

Because you act like a stuck up cunt and you're retarded and how you say you'll grow up to make millions in the future.

>>4513365
>>4513312
Stop peaking through that. It's old and outdated. I'm a grad student at Rutgers and I'm not on there.

>>4513374
*peeking

>>4513359
Busch is terrible. Easily the worst campus. But if you are in the suites and your classes are mostly on Busch, I guess it's not that bad.

>>4513350
Because you are an arrogant prick that hasn't earned the right to be.

Should I get on cam and make an apology video for hurting all of your feelings?

>>4513418

Apologize for shitposting and all will be forgiven.

By me anyways, can't say that for the rest of the community.

>>4513399

Definitely. There are some cool people though that aren't frumpy as fuck

>.34

Why has nobody called him out?

>>4513418

>try to imagine blackman on cam
>cum instantly

Oh yes, please do!

>>4513435
because if that's the only mistake you noticed then I've got news for you...

>>4513488
I would but I'm too fat right now to want to be on video ;_;

>>4513501

>Browses /fit/
>Fat

Oh well, shouldn't be surprised

>>4513506
I haven't started cutting yet, don't hate

>>4513507
when you do, just remember down the road, not across the street

>>4513523

>>4513523
Lol, good one
