  1. Hobbies Logic Riddles

    Working on a longer answer, I've actually found a cool idea to explain kind of how this trick works, haven't checked if it's new Here's another riddle: I'm not a dragon, even though I sound like one. But if you look at my name, you'd know I can't quite breathe fire (although I come close)...
  2. Hobbies Logic Riddles

    that's probably right (just by checking google). another answer if you want to really think out of the box (hehehe) could be a canary. canaries were used in mines as primitive carbon monoxide detectors and when they died that was the signal the mine was dangerous. so 1) they're used in mines...
  3. Hobbies Logic Riddles

    The idea is cool and I haven't really seen it before but I'm not sure it actually works in its current state. I think it does work with a modification:
  4. Hobbies Logic Riddles

    Here's a simpler solution (I think it's more verbose but more understandable where the difficulty is coming from). So the takeaway combining the first and second parts are: if you see 0 guess 0, if prisoner 2 sees 1 guess 0, if you see 1 guess 1, if prisoner 2 sees 0 guess 1. And that...
  5. Is philosophy still relevant?

    If philosophy helped individual people (since I assume it shouldn't make people "worse", whatever that may be), why should philosophy not help humanity as a hole, since presumably better individuals create a better society? There are a few ideas I can think of - one is that individuals might...
  6. Is philosophy still relevant?

    Question 1: How do you "learn" philosophy? I can't find any online courses, and although it would be nice to read the classics, I don't know how much it would really help me, seeing as a) I understand better with a survey of the field b) the books are too long to feasibly read and c) I wouldn't...

  11. Serious Application of the Infinite Monkey Theorem (Math)

    I'm pretty sure you just do it inductively. Something like there are 26 ways to do it with 1 letter, then if you choose one more letter then n slots are filled up with letter one so 50-n slots are filled up with letter 2 and you calculate how to arrange that, and then you just combine letter 1...
  12. Serious Application of the Infinite Monkey Theorem (Math)

    Think about it in terms of all the possibilities of the sets of letters that he can pick. For example, he can pick 50 As with probability 1/(26)^50, or he can pick 49 As and 1 B with probability 50*1/26^(50), or he can pick... To do the average time needed, it would be the time needed such that...
