Is /pol/, dare I say it, the dumbest board on all of 4chan?
>>>/pol/70030820
it's either them or [r9k]
but you'd get a similar thread on /sci/, just because people love to trip people up on these logical paradoxes
>>488746
or maybe it's /qa/! :^C
let's see if you can solve this one!!
>>488746
The ability to do statistical reasoning is not necessarily indicative of intelligence. Somehow I doubt even >>>/sci/ would do better than /pol/. And besides, everybody already knows [s4s] is the dumbest board of all. They have lost the ability to properly speak English, even when they try.
>>488764
No, you're thinking of /int/
>>488771
No, /int/ at least speaks more than one language. [s4s] doesn't know anything but kekspeak and adding a silent e to formerly English words.

That would be /x/ and /v/.

Is who wants to be a millionaire just a game of luck?
I mean, there's 33.34% chance of being right unless the person happens to know the right answer, and lifelines can only get you so far into the game.
>>488877
or pige
as I have come to call it
>>488764
/sci/ is retarded
That board should just be renamed to "Undergrad Homework Help" since that's all they fucking do
>>488946
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.

What you're referring to as pige, is in fact, cowe/pige, or as I've recently taken to calling it, cowe plus pige. pige is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning cowe system made useful by the cowelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the cowe system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of cowe which is widely used today is often called "pige", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the cowe system, developed by the cowe Project.
There really is a pige, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. pige is the bacon: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The bacon is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. pige is normally used in combination with the cowe operating system: the whole system is basically cowe with pige added, or cowe/pige. All the so-called "pige" distributions are really distributions of cowe/pige.

No, dumbass.
It's 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 19/20 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 19/20 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 * 1
The odds are 1 in 588854
>>489035
No, it's 50%, either you win or you don't.
>>489016
They actually took away phone a friend because it became too easy for the friend to just google the answer. Yeah, they actually thought it was too easy. What the fuck?
>>488746
The /sci/ thread had the same results. Its a troll post, and the question posted as intentionally twisted to make you reach 50%. People that answered 2/3 did not read the problem, they just identified it as the monty whatever and posted 2/3.
Read the /sci/ thread, this troll was posted on every board.
