«Gordondon son of Ethelred» a babel fish? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:51am) «J. Andrew World» Carey, I am sending Ellen some pictures you might want to look at! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:51am) «goovie is married!» ooh. send them to me, tooo (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:51am) «J. Andrew World» It's a little big to be a babble fish, however now I understand all of the lyrics to "Nuits De Reve" now (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:52am) «lawrence» this is rather creepy... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:52am) «Andrea Krause» welcome to the wall a couple of hours ago, lawrence. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:52am) «lawrence» oh. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:53am) «lawrence» next time I'll read the archives first, I guess. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:53am) «J. Andrew World» Makes you wish you bought a lottery ticket, doesn't it? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:53am) «Andrea Krause» hehe even the "creepy" wording. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:53am) «John J. Ryan» I just wonder, will all those people who have winning lottery tickets get the same amount as if only one person won, or will they have to split the winnings? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:55am) «lawrence» those drawings don't tend to have huge prizes. my guess is they don't split that one up. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:55am) «J. Andrew World» "Ogg says satisfaction with pointy stick garenteed, or ogg kill you with stick" (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:55am) «J. Andrew World» I think they split it up (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:55am) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» Yeah, number drawings aren't divided (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:56am) «lawrence» consider that your odds of winning are 1 in 1000. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:56am) «lawrence» the prize is probably something like $200. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:56am) «Andrea Krause» argh my eyeballs are killing me (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:57am) «John J. Ryan» I * heart * Malcolm :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:57am) «lawrence» so, if I post a link to this am I posting a repeat of an earlier wall conversation, too? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:57am) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» It's $500, bookies give you $600 (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:58am) «J. Andrew World» Andrea, I just had a mental image of your eyeballs poping out of your head and attacking you with pointy sticks! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:58am) «John J. Ryan» And the article says that after a certain number of people buy a specific number, they "lock" it out. How many people does it take before they lock it out? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:58am) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» farewell fair wallers wherever you fare till your eyries receive you at your journey's end. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:58am) «Andrea Krause» no lawrence but I mentioned it in the Soda poll :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:59am) «lawrence» yeah, I remember that, but the fact that CNN now has an article about it is rather amusing. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:59am) «Andrea Krause» no, I mean I posted a link to it today. Takling about it. I wasn't the one who mentioned it way back when. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 10:59am) «lawrence» oh. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:00am) «lawrence» wait, you mean people still post messages in old polls? crap, I've got a lot of catching up to do. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:00am) «J. Andrew World» Paul Sabourin says Hi kisses the hand of Gordon (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:00am) «Andrea Krause» My second FHDC tabs has "Recent Posts" as an option so I can see if old polls are added to that way. Or diary entry responses. or anything. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:01am) «Andrea Krause» (I also have recent diary entries on my second tab) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:01am) «lawrence» "recent posts?" whoa. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:02am) «lawrence» recent diary entries?! how do you do that?! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:02am) «Andrea Krause» it's nice...you can check that as a catch-all rather than going into the poll, into the forum, etc separately every time. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:02am) «Andrea Krause» They're choices in the box when you're adding things to your page! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:03am) «lawrence» ack. things suddenly got more complicated. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:03am) «Josh Woodward» they've been complicated ;-) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:04am) «Andrea Krause» You can even have one of the forums appear there and list more threads than the "FruNews" does. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:04am) «J. Andrew World» Carey get the pictures? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:04am) «Andrea Krause» Yeah, it's not new. :) I've had that stuff on my second tab for ages. Makes things very cool! Yay Josh! :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:04am) «lawrence» see, eventually mozilla will allow a tabbed start page, and I'll be able to set browser tabs to all of this instead of shrinking the boxes on my main FHDC page. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:05am) «John J. Ryan» Earwormed me with it too Frulie. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:05am) «Andrea Krause» I wish the recent posts had more info though or something. Who wrote them, or which section they came from? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:06am) «John J. Ryan» FHDC: It's not a web page. It's an adventure. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:06am) «lawrence» you are in a maze of twisty little web pages, all alike. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:06am) «sheryls» your face has just been eaten by a grue. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:07am) «lawrence» but... but... I had the lantern on! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:07am) «Rob Balder» Lawrence et al, do you remember this lottery story from last year: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_448789.html (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:08am) «lawrence» eep. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:08am) «Rob Balder» And I remember when the Connecticut lotto came up 6-6-6 on Halloween night. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:08am) «John J. Ryan» Wow, same thing as 911. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:09am) «J. Andrew World» That's because Coneticut is evil! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:09am) «Josh Woodward» actually, i just realized that it's not quite 1/1000.. it's harder to come up with numbers with repeated numbers in them. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:09am) «John J. Ryan» Perhaps it does happen more often than probability indicates, as Andrea was trying to find out. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:09am) «Rob Balder» Not only was the flight number 587 the lotto number that night, but earlier in the day the same lotto's afternoon drawing was 578 (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:09am) «lawrence» wait, it's not 1/1000? how many numbers are there from 0-1000, then? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «nate...» m hm! CT is definitely the State of Satan (tm) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «Rob Balder» That article doesn't mention it. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «John J. Ryan» But that answers our question about whether simply 3-number lottery winnings are split up or not. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «Rob Balder» It's 1/1000. There are three independent buckets of 10 balls (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «Josh Woodward» lawrence -- the difference is in the fact that there are a finite number of balls of a given number, say 6. for 666, the third six is less likely than the first one. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:10am) «lawrence» er, I thought it was what Rob described... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «J. Andrew World» Bye Fr�lie! (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «Rob Balder» Cya Fr�lie. Say hi to your man for me. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «Josh Woodward» oh, sorry.. didn't see that part :-) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «lawrence» you're saying it's just a big bucket of 3 of each number? (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:11am) «John J. Ryan» The chance of three numbers 0-9 coming up as a triple (000, 111, 222) is 1/100 (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:12am) «Rob Balder» No it's definitely 3 compartments with 10 balls each. At least all the ones I have ever watched (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:12am) «Rob Balder» Any number is the same chance. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «nate...» really? I always thought it was one main ball bin.... (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «Josh Woodward» gotcha, i've never watched a lottery, so.. :-) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «Rob Balder» The Power Ball is one big bin (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «lawrence» besides. poweball and big game are the real ones anwyay. :) (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «John J. Ryan» Nope, they do draw the digits seperately. But either way, it is still 1/1000. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «Rob Balder» But the Pick 3 and Pick 4 are separate bins (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:13am) «lawrence» John - well, no, it wouldn't be 1/1000 if it were one big bin with 30 balls in it. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) «nate...» rob: ahhh (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) «John J. Ryan» There will be a quiz later in Probability 101. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) «John J. Ryan» Then it would be 1/30. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) «lawrence» uh, no. (Sep 12, 2002 @ 11:14am) « Previous 100 entries | Next 100 entries »
