Nathan's Corner
LOL. you win the internet. Now go check out the two dice puzzle thread and the hotblonde challenge thread.Quote: unJonSo I read this thread. The whole thing. It took awhile but I did it. That’s really all I have to say about that.
Did WON actually give you a $100 gift card, regardless of whether there was credit on it?
Quote: mipletI have one thing in common with Nathan: we both choose the now retired thimble as our favorite Monopoly piece.
That is my mother's favorite piece too.
Quote: onenickelmiracleYou know they kept making new TV shows after Martin, Fresh Prince and Family matters. I'm surprised you even remember those shows. Are you in a prison?
Name like 47 TV shows with a black cast that's good in the last 20 years.
PS: Besides Smart Guy and Sister Sister

I liked my Wife and Kids...

Retired because it’s the only piece you could replace with the actual item if lost. Now you have to buy a whole new set.

I have seen exactly one of these shows (The Wire).
Oh wait, that was more than 20 years! K, blocking Nathan for other reasons ;)
Quote: DRichI have seen exactly one of these shows (The Wire).
You missed out on a lot of good shows then, although admittedly, there were like 6 shows that were really stretching it like Are You The Girl?(TLC search for the next R&B Girl music Act, ;). Ooh, just thought of two more Black shows. Doc McStuffins and Ant Farm. :)

You're old ;-)
You are too busy watching Honey Boo Boo.Quote: DRichI have seen exactly one of these shows (The Wire).
I think you might enjoy watching OZ. It's a prison love story.
Tell the truth...they had you at nail salon.Quote: billryanI just binge watched most of Claws, and it was surprisingly good. Lots of plot twists, one ridiculous mishap after another, with just the right amount of sudden unexpected violence .

I prefer the RuPaul show.
Quote: DRichI prefer the RuPaul show.
I was so shocked when I saw Charles without his RuPaul Getup. He looks really everyday ordinary.
the right side stopped working a few days later
Fresh prince of bel air?
Kids say the darndest things?
The one cartoon with blacks, I think there’s an Uncle Rufus or Ruckus in there?
Bernie Mac?
How about the one with Jorge Garcia? That’s close enough.
There’s one about a woman who does something with the government. She’s black. Either Scandal and/or House of Cards?
Blackfish is a new show that I despise.
Star Wars, Harry Potter, Star Trek, and the one with silly little goblins.
I sit differently when I'm playing the piano.

Great show on Viceland.
Damn, I'm getting nostalgic for Mummers and soft pretzels.
Quote: NathanI think I may have made a recent $200 mistake. :/
Did you buy an 8 ball?
Quote: mcallister3200Did you buy an 8 ball?
How is that a mistake lol? jk sorta, maybe not. You'll never know if I'm a coke head or not I guess lol.
Quote: NathanI think I may have made a recent $200 mistake. :/
Do tell.
Quote: MrVDo tell
I kinda made a bet that I would promise to pay $200 if at least one set of sequences doesn't happen in two weeks. I was extremely confident in those sequences happening that I made a foolhardy $200 promise
. I am on like day 4 and the sequences hasn't happened yet. I have about 10 days left for it to happen. So that's why I said I may have made a recent $200 mistake. :/
Well, just pay it, or ask to resolve the bet early for a discount. Make payments to them if need be. If it's with another forum member, don't pay your real bills if you value it here. If a forum member made a bet with you, it was so you would welch and be gone, they don't make bad bets.Quote: NathanI kinda made a bet that I would promise to pay $200 if at least one set of sequences doesn't happen in two weeks.

Maybe I should take Babs' suggestion of setting aside money to pay the bet just in case those sequences never show.
Quote: NathanI predict that either 814, 816, 128, 864, 863, 200, 201, 135, 111, 132, 311, 167, 146, 419, will come up very soon in Pick 3. I predict either 2016, 1211, 1217, 5013, 3603, 1133, 1312, 1873, , 8840, 1630, MAYBE 1506(But this number is a longshot as it hasn't come up in over 3 years) will come up soon in Pick 4. I predict either 84 or 86 will come up very soon in Pick 2. Disclaimer. I am talking about Box when I make my predictions except for 111 which is a straight number
Also, this is only for Florida Lottery Numbers. Also by "Very soon," I mean within two weeks. In fact, if neither of my Pick 3 or Pick 4 predictions show up within two weeks I promise to donate $100 to next year's WOV Spring Event. Pick 2 is way too easy so I decided to add more juice. :)
This is what she is talking about, it was only $100 though. Tbh nobody here is going to care when the numbers don’t come up and you don’t pay the $100 as it wasn’t a bet. You keep making this promise and eventually you won’t hit the numbers. Just lie and tell us the numbers came, nobody is checking the numbers anyways.

OH YES. Someone is keeping track and will ensure you are held to account here and there.
Now, remind us... What do you win from these wagers if one of your sets of numbers come up?
I'd thought the draws were twice daily, giving you a 65% chance of failure. My error: At once daily, your probability of FAILURE was
(986/1000)^14 x (9989/10000)^14 = 80.8%
Now after 3 days, Your probability of failure has increased to. . .
(986/1000)^11 x (9989/10000)^11 = 84.6%
Good luck. You'll need it.

Your math assumes she played the numbers straight. But she said she boxed.

Still, I'm happy with what I posted.
Even though your math is off?Quote: OnceDearOh, I thought that as I was typing it.

Acknowledged. Playing boxed does give her a much better chance of success. I can't be bothered to calculate/estimate the probability.Quote: unJonYour math assumes she played the numbers straight. But she said she boxed.
Also, It seems there are two draws per day, further increasing her chance of 'winning' not losing.
Yup, my math was off, because of my unfamiliarity with the draw. I'm happy to see that she does have better than a snowball's chance in hell.Quote: unJonEven though your math is off?

I did this in my head and on my fingers so could be off:
I get fixing for boxed and two draws a day for both Pick 3 and 4:
(927/1000)^28 x (9822/10000)^28
