Re: What do you think?
I do not like psychology or psychologists, They are always asking questions, they remind me of cops.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Cops are good for banning GiB
What about Gangnam Style?

Re: What do you think?
New problem:
Hi;
A student is taking 4 courses and there is to be a test in each course next week (Monday to Friday). What is the probability that there will be at least two tests on the same day?
A says) 106 / 125
B says) 65 / 70
C says)100!, I ran a simulation.
D says) C's answer looks right...
E says) I like B's answer but am not sure. He made a few assumptions.
What answer do you like?

I think you are talking about SE. I saw some of bobbym's answers there a few weeks ago and am surprised most of them only have 1-2 upvotes!

I am glad in a way. It is much easier to function when no one knows who you are.
