Re: Bafflers?

Exact answer, he has not. Ran a smiluatio, he did.

Re: Bafflers?

I would sat that is not true. Not because I know he can solve the problem but because you would have to run a huge simulation to get that kind of accuracy.

It is loosely based on the square root. You would need about 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 samples. Much too much for a desktop.

No, it just suggests that he has the exact answer.

That is what tripped up some people elsewhere. You are drawing with replacement.

Re: Bafflers?

Do you understand that there are 3 ways to draw 2 aces and a king? Know how to compute it?

Did you first not try any experimental methods?

Hi,

A simulation is also close, in J:

a=:4#(i.13)
sim =: 3 : '1=+/(?3#52){a'
(+/%#)(sim"0)1000000#0

≈ 0.001373
