Hello: I think that answer is too much. If you simulate it you will agree.

I missed the post too sad Thanks Relentless.

I didn't simplify sad

I know about Confucius I told you that.

Do you think that Geogebra used a least squares fit?

Mr. m, it looks like you have forgotten the definition of a sector.

What is ETPI?

I can only write a MonteCarlo simulation

ETPI - Exploit The Problem Itself

A simulation is enough for an ansatz smile

Hello Agnishom!

There are ways to solve problems.

i) ETPI ( patent to bobbym ).

ii) Apply Experimental Math to it.

iii) Ask bobbym when the old guy is in a good mood, like after he watches the Walking Dead.

I'll bet you can figure which I chose.

Hello:

I think I would want more explanation. What is a set of 4? smile

I managed to find numbers 3, 30, 410 for the three smaller boards,

Which 3 and can you get a 4th one?

Hello

Bobbym had to prepare dinner for three so he's going to be busy for a bit.

His method was to accurately compute the first 10 rhombuses and then curve fit which needed an ansatz that only he could see. This won't be the type of classical answer you require but at least you have the answer. smile

I don't know what a bumpkin is. There is very little of that inside him.

#68 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Atheism Study » 2015-05-29 03:01:40

I wouldn't say better. It's hard to beat Bobby at anything.

Elaina, I will read those quotes a little later.

You had to make an ansatz too! smile

Hello:

Acronyms are for people who can't spell.

Let's stop writing EM. sad

#73 Re: Help Me ! » Integration problem » 2015-04-18 23:02:43

Hello Agnishom:

There is a formula for this one. Bobby showed it to me and he says someone over here showed it to him.

Ask Mathematica what

is smile

Hello Bobby:

What is the way to get the apostrophe over the f in latex?

#74 Re: Help Me ! » Probability Question » 2015-02-25 20:56:41

See you in Florida after I get back. smile

#75 Re: Help Me ! » Probability Question » 2015-02-25 20:45:56

Hi Bobbym;

I know that, I am saying should it not be 3/8 instead of 3/7?

A curious oversight. Aren't you claiming that each of those 8 possibilities are equally likely?
