I guess you’re out on this one since your math troubles are well documented.

I stand by the opinion..

Heres a smaller version of our previous debate 

 

There are 10 chests. There are bombs inside 2 random chests

It is revealed that there is a bomb in chest 4

To say “it is statistically unlikely that 2 bombs would be next to each other, therefore chests 3 and 5 are safer bets” is a fallacy

chests 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10 still have a statistically equal chance of having the bomb, despite the fact that 2 bombs next to each other is less likely than the bombs being separated

it’s the same fallacy of thinking there has to be a mafia between numbers 8 and 14 simply because dispersion is more likely than them being bunched

@Outpost31

am I allowed to resubmit, given the new information that highest score gets an advantage?

Monster Mayhem is definitely next.  The highest scores here will get the best pick of their monster.  I will re-tag everyone soon to make this announcement official.  Ties will be broken by tiebreaker rounds.  I will obviously allow for changes to be made.

That’s literally not the argument.  I’m shocked that the intersection of math and reading has left you nothing short of dumbfounded.

Ratings Update:

In just under a week, You Have 24 Hours has reached half the posts of Survivor III. 

It has over a quarter of the number of posts in Big Brother 8, and it has over a 7th of the views. 

It is now in the running for a TASTY Best Game Award. 

GotY without the host updating the title with the page number of the active challenge

gonna be a long shot
