What TC is referring to is that we just selected the
possible next president of the
United States by flipping a coin. Hillary Clinton,
accused of being one of the most corrupt politicians
in history won 6 out of 6 coin tosses, a 1 in 64 odds of
happening event. |
|
| |
Let me say that again: our political system is so
fucked up we resorted to flipping a coin, (no, not
metaphorically, we took a little piece of metal and
threw it in the air) and even
that process may have somehow been compromised. |
|
| |
There's a 1 in 64 chance of any of the possible outcomes of 6 coin tosses. 6v0 is as special as 4v2. (This is wrong! wrong! wrong! Bad cetacean!!) |
|
| |
//6v0 is as special as 4v2.// |
|
| |
No it isn't. 4v2 is 15 times more likely than 6v0.
But 6v0 is not outside the bounds of probability. |

Who by? The league of political exaggerators?
I'm not saying she's not corrupt - I have no idea. But I'm pretty sure there's some pretty stiff competition. |
|
| |
Indeed I stand corrected. I suppose I meant to say that order is important, but it isn't in this case. |
|
| |
If the coin lands on it's edge, is it a do over ? |
|
| |
I'm going to go master the art of induced coin precession. |
|
| |
If one person calls it in the air it's fair. If it's called before its
flipped, the flipper can manipulate it. |
|
| |
// I'm pretty sure there's some pretty stiff competition // |
|
| |
You are correct. Hillary is a paragon of virtue compared to, for example, David Lloyd George, or the likes of Boss Tweed ... |
|
| |
//Boss Tweed// I think my gamekeeper's outfit is
made of that. |
