When we make a statement, which I did "It is not 2/3" then what is the proof that this is true ? I didn't provide any proof. I just said it. As you and Fiona have shown my statement is not true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 4 hours ago, Rolig Loon said: The fun is in the chase. It's like solving a good crossword puzzle or a murder mystery. Solving the problem is the exciting part. Once it is solved, the fun is gone. I toss the paper as soon as I finish the day's puzzle, and I don't look back at last week's big scripting challenge once it's in the bag. It's the same way with vacations. I don't much care for being somewhere, but getting somewhere is great fun. So, in essence, Maddy created and solved a puzzle in order to solve another, different puzzle? I get that, actually, mostly. Although it does sound a bit like a make-work project. Years and years ago, when I was learning javascript (in which I had a teeny weeny bit of facility, now I'm sure long lost), I had, as part of the learning process, to create a simple quiz using variables and arrays (see! I have all The Words!). And it gave me fits . . . until, finally, I made it work. Of course, the quiz was pointless: I'd put in the questions and answers myself, so it was hardly worth "using." But there was a sort of special frisson that I experienced when it worked, for the first time. And in that brief millisecond, the painful process of producing it almost seemed, in retrospect, fun!

I think Maddy did think about this a little bit but quickly discarded it. And gave the reason why I would not know the answer if we buy into "did I tell a lie ?" then we have to consider if we are now seeing an attempt at misdirection the thing with this is that there is no 'another part of the puzzle'.

Madelaine McMasters Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) I'm going to reword Molly's riddle, twice, to show what I find so interesting about it: 1) I'm holding a bag of two cards. One is blue on both sides. One is blue on one side, red on the other. I pull one card from the bag and place it on the table. It's showing a blue face. What's the probability that the card's hidden face is is blue? B) I'm holding a bag of 1000 cards. One is blue on both sides. One is blue on one side, red on the other. The rest are red on both sides. I pull one card from the bag and place it on the table. It's showing a blue face. What's the probability that the card's hidden face is is blue?
