very cool

I like this discussion.

I just want to address the coin flipping because I am thinking about it and only have a sec.

I think we are saying the same thing, see if you agree-

Lets say the odds are the same ( programmed that way ) in FishedTooMuch Pond with the Marshmallow Rod

Toon A walks up with Marshmallow Rod and cast once- odds 1:2000

Toon B walks up with Marshmallow Rod and cast once, but has cast 3000 times before- 0dds 1:2000

They have same odds of catching on THAT cast.

But, obviously odds are better if you cast 3000 times too catch than if you cast only once. But on an individual cast they are the same.

Usefulness of the point is that you can come and go for 8 hours over a month or do eight hours over a day-odds are the same.


I like the post that says this is how all superstitions develop.

Be back later!
