cubinator Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) The chance of two people picking the same random number is zero. Also, every number is outrageously large. Edited July 20, 2019 by cubinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qzgy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 1 hour ago, cubinator said: The chance of two people picking the same random number is zero. Also, every number is outrageously large. Not true. Had a game called "what are the odds" where basically some one asked what the odds were that the second person did something as a bet. Someone then gave the odds (like 1 in a 1000) then both people picked a number between 1 and whatever the second number was. If they picked the same number, the second person had to do the thing. One round had those 1 in a thousand odds, and both picked 6. Some numbers are more likely to be picked than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go -INF to +INF, every number will be someplace very far from 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Afair, when random people get asked for a random number, they usually answer: "One". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerbiloid Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) I believe, if ask them to do that for money if the number is unique, the numbers will get much more random. They should extend mathematics with "paid result" / "unpaid result" depending on a "cash function".

It was a joke, because you said that if you ask random people for a random number they'll say "one." I'm not saying it was a good joke or anything...

What is/are the conditions at x, y, z, t? Fifth dimension would be which universe in the multiverse? etc... Just add another co-ordinate axis "normal" to the rest as you go up the dimensions...

The 5th is a sequence of you's, trying to imagine the 4th one as a sequence of 3. 4 hours ago, NSEP said: I just tried to think of a random number after i read that. 365 was the first thing that came to mind Yup, humans, or at least myself am terrible at generating random numbers. But if ask you to sell a random number for 1000 USD, it would be 285764954386. If pay 10 USD, probably something like 35254. For 1 mln you would probably generate a note book of digits. So the cash function dramatically affects the calculation results. (What do the Bayesians say now?)
