Re: Modelling Question

And, if you are trying to peg a single number for a given day, you will have problems. I'm going to assume that while you may add up to 20 in a day, and potentially none will come out, the average number in the system is pretty close to that at a given moment. That doesn't give you a lot to work wit...

Re: Modelling Question

If age does skew the ratio, it still comes down to the overall average,which you said is roughly 50/50. So I don't see any significant factor besides the total number of balls in the system and the average duration they are there.

Re: Modelling Question

Then I think the model essentially comes down to 50/50. If there are no significant factors that determine when or what color a ball comes out, the only numbers that seem relevant are the number of balls at a given moment, the average frequency they come out, and 50%.

Re: Modelling Question

Does age, or any other factor, affect either the frequency or the color they cone out?

Re: Modelling Question

OK, I thought I had an answer but rereading this, I'm not sure I understand. You put balls into the box... And they come out red or green. So they have no color when they go in?

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6 (Current)

I don't hate the dumb jokes. The khal being given a hard time by his bloodriders about the best things in life was ok and I actually liked the talk in dothraki about Danny's grey junk. Btw, can't understand why her eyes are not violet like in the books. Not watched last night's episode yet. The sce...

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6 (Current)

I enjoyed episode 4. Characters are reunited, and I feel like the story is finally going somewhere. I was a bit confused early on. There was a happy scene where people were smiling and hugging (without stabbing each other) and I was pretty sure I was on the wrong channel. That was a little out of c...

Yes, my thoughts exactly.

Re: Running Mates

The GOP is dead after this election. Their party is so broken that they just nominated a dude who is only BARELY a conservative. Even if, somehow, they won the general election, they don't even support him. What a catastrophic failure on their part. I don't think anything about the party will be &q...

I agree with all of that. I use the term in the classical sense, which mostly doesn't exist in reality right now.

Re: Running Mates

I see what you are saying, and I'm not heralding the death of conservatism. In fact, I feel that conservatism has always and will always have an important role to play, though I personally don't usually agree. But literally, the Republican party is dying. Not just the party, but the members. And in ...

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6 (Current)

We pretty much all know why and it's time for them to show us so we can all stop speculating. I don't think it would be as expected if so many people hadn't read the books and keep talking about it. If the show were the only source material, I don't think they have shown enough to piece it all toge...

I have seen the Ghost theory and despite my current name, no. Not buying that.

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6 (Current)

Yes, Dondarrion. Thank you, that was driving me crazy. He might be a little less each time but he's been resurrected quite a few times. Granted, Jon's descent into whatever may be accelerated for the plot, and we don't actually know how bad that first time was for Beric (I would imagine it's pretty ...

Re: RE: Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6 (Current)

Episode 3. I liked that. I'm especially glad they didn't make Jon Snow some walking dead, semi zombie like or altered state version of himself. That ain't how the Lord of Lights gifts work. When you cone back, you are back. Remember flaming sword guy that I really wish was a regular on the show? Se...

Re: Game of Thrones: Season 6 (Current)

It's nice that we can all have our own opinions on how we view the first 2 episodes. No need to get overly critical *cough* GHOST *cough* because opinions don't align. Though I will say, looking back on a few of the other seasons, they are a slow burn initially. I'm excited to see where all of the ...
