Re: Odd or Even prop on the flop

I just realized that using both of these:
Pn = n*(3*n - 1)/2
Sn = n*(3*n + 1)/2
is silly:

Sn - Pn = n*(3*n + 1)/2 - n*(3*n - 1)/2 = n

so Sn = Pn + n.

Going another route, if we solve for n via:

Sm = Pn
m*(3*m + 1)/2 = n*(3*n - 1)/2
m*(3*m + 1) = n*(3*n - 1)

Which is trivially true for n = m = 0 and also,

3*m + 1 = 3*n - 1 = 0
n = m + 2/3

So the 2 equations are just translations of each other, as expected. To graph all the 50% thresholds, we would just use the Pn formula.
