Infinity isn't too f**ked up in a mathematical sense really. Just like the moneys on typewriters example, it's easy to see how anything is possible once you start throwing around the word infinity. To Jamie: Lets say you have a coin you flipped 10 times, what're the chances you'll get the coin to land on it's edge 10 times in a row. Chances would be astronomical. Lets say you flipped the coin 1,000,000 times for it to land on it's edge 10 times in a row, would still be astronomical, but would be less than before. The more times you flip the coin more likely it'll be that that happens. Eventually you're going to flip it enough times that the chances of that happening will become 50/50, then more flips after that more likely than not. The more times you flip the more and more likely it is to happen to the point when it's 99% likely to happen. Flip even more times and you're going to get the repeating nines 99.9% likely to happen, even more flips 99.999% likely to happen. Millions of years of more flipping and you get 99.99999999% likely to happen. But if there was an infinite number of flips, that 99.99999999% would turn to 100% (aka 1), and the coin landing on it's edge 10 times in a row would become a certainty. If you don't flip the coin an infinite number of times, the probability would be forever getting closer to 100%, but would never reach it, there would just be more 9's after the decimal point.

Unless you have infinite 3's. The it = exactly one third.

In the movie Cool Running's, they use sprinters so they can push the bobsled faster at the top to gain valuable milliseconds which can turn into full seconds a the finishing line. But Sanka is not a sprinter. Surely in this case, Sanka would just be left behind? How come he wasn't?

Most roulettes have a max and a min. Doubling stacks up pretty quickly, so you'll soon hit the max and then you're a bit f**ked. Also, like has been said, even if you start betting $1 and black or green shows up 10 times in a row (unlikely, about 1 in 1000) you're 11th bet would need to be $2,000. In theory, tonight I could go into a casino and make money tonight using the system. The problem is, every now and again you're going to hit your personal max and lose thousands when you were originally betting $1 to try and win $2. For you're example, simply multiply everything by 10 (apart from the odds).

Ok so twice in a lifetime? Just like the Venus transit. And I'm looking forward to that.

In the long run it'll probably bring in more money than what's been spent. Just like the Royal Family.

I did Karate back when I was much younger for a couple of years. My Dad used to teach it. Just grew out of it.

Yeah I almost forgot about it. Seems crazy that a website like that ever needed to exist. What with youtube these days. Makes me appreciated what Simon did even more looking back at it, hosting all those vids must have cost a f**king fortune!

Two words: Trials and shack.

I'm 19 again.

Never heard the full version before. Extremely frustrating just to listen to. It's unbelievable that out of all the people he spoke to non of them seemed understand basic maths.

Yeah it's certainly theoretical. Kind of akin to having infinite monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters, within 30 mins, one of them will have typed the first 5 pages of the bible.

True, unil you throw in the word 'infinity'. The it = 1

The number 0.9999.... (to infinite) get's closer to 1 the more 9s are added. If you add an infinte number of 9's, it becomes 1. Can't really explain it any better than that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...

The right answer is it equals 1 by the way. We all define infinite the same way. I believe generally it's no longer a debated topic.

Brilliant! Wheetabix come out with some amazing adverts.

How do you not know your friend sees red as blue, blue as yellow and yellow as red? Does 0.999999...(recurring to infinity) = 1? Or something less than 1?

Step 1. Realize she's actually a fanny, who is now dating someone or her level. Step 2. Make yourself realize that you're better off without a fanny in your life. Step 3. Note what word is replaced with by 'fanny' on TF. Step 4. Happiness.

Look up the Photoelectric Effect. Sound isn't a constant unlike light. Sounds travels much faster through liquids and even faster through solids. It also isn't physical particles moving, but energy through the particles. For example, a wave moving across the ocean isn't water physically moving towards the shore, the water remains in the same place (part from moving up a little) it's the energy that's been transmitted. EDIT: (Forgot I already answered. But I'll leave it there regardless.

Haha, not quite. The tires on this place deflated and rotted ages ago.

Now because the mother in law and the wife will take 10 years to get used to it shutting properly every time they shut the door it sounds like it's about to rip out the frame.

Fixed. It needed to come down 6-7mm so the old holes wren't actually a problem. Thanks everyone! f**king cheap shitty house with cheap shitty doors.

Moving the latch is probably going to be much more complicated and the door is sitting way to high. Nope. It does the same thing all year round. Sounds like a plan!

Door in our house is slightly too high. The top scrapes on the door frame at the top and the latch thing is just a few millimeters higher than the hole. Problem is if I take the door off and move it down a tiny but, I know that when I screw the hinges back in, the new screw holes are going to be a couple of mill away from the old holes and that's going to cause problems on the cheap wood. Any suggestions?
