Anyone working on cutting edge science, that is not top secret?
Pretty much what it says on the tin.

The webdip forumites tend to be more educated, or just smarter, than your average person, but are there also scientists around here?

You flip a coin ten times and sometimes it lands heads eight times. 17 games is not nearly enough to have a normal distribution.
you'd make a killing at a casino bro
ssorenn (0 DX)
11 Mar 14 UTC
but that should not be the case,as to 50/50 each time...to my understanding that each time you get a country , the next selection should be slightly more skewed to not getting the previous country

There's a slight weighting function, but it's still close to 1/7.

Remember it's not the P of you getting Russia n times. Its the P of anyone on the site getting any one country n times. The chances of that are quite high.

Ok well 11 is even farther away from a normal distribution.

You should go to the closest casino, find the roulette table, and put everything on Russia.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Also, remember that it's not just your P, but the P of the other seven players. If 7 times in a row, you get in a game with 6 other players who have all had Russia 15 times in a row, you are most likely going to get Russia all 7 times.

I have to Pee, sometimes all too often, but that's just because I'm old
actually, absent the weighing mechanism (and I'm not sure if you guys are talking absent that mechanism), what other people have drawn before doesn't mean anything; you all have equal chances of drawing Russia again
Draugnar (0 DX)
11 Mar 14 UTC
I believe we *were* talking about the weighting mechanism. Without it, your odds of getting Russia are 1 in 7 no matter what you got last turn or the turn before or the turn before that...

right, exactly Draugnar

Draugnar (0 DX)

Dharma, making the weight heavier wouldn't matter as it's not just your weight but the weight of your opponents who would also be weighted heavier.

RIP Bob Crow
There are not many people who achieve as big an impact on the lives and minds of the British people as Bob Crow. I did not often agree with him, indeed I can't remember ever agreeing with him, but he was without doubt a man of principle who fought tirelessly for his beliefs and earned no small amount of respect. Rest in peace.

Need two players for a solid full-press game.
We're looking for two reliable players—either with no CDs or with very few CDs that can be explained away—to fill out gameID=137177. We’ve played several games together with largely the same group (a few rotate in and out each game), and they've all been good games with lots of press. They're pretty balanced as well--no solos yet.
