That would be how you calculate the explanation I gave. That is different than coming up with the explanation,

If you want a fancier explanation, here is what my buddy Persi Diaconis has to say about it.

I think when the times are bad, when necessities are scarce, people will stick to their own. The issue for me is how to determine what "their own" means.

Put another way - understanding rational self interest requires a measure of the content of "self".

You can start with this post Ian.

The first sentence is not a reply, its a statement.

Start there and actual read and address what I said.

Had you picked n from the numbers 0 to ten mil. then your second specific number pic is slightly more than 11% to start with a one. In this scenario a one being the first digit would average out to about 30%. /QUOTE]

If there is any particular confusion or disconnect that you would like to address, go for it.

Otherwise, it is too cute for you to accuse me of hand waiving by, yourself, hand waiving.

wtf is hand waiving? I know how to waive rights under a contract, and I know how to waive my right to a lawyer, but I don't have the foggiest idea how to waive my hand.

Not saying you're wrong, just want to make sure i understand you.

Ok, I'm way too drunk to figure this out tonight, but I'm sure if we normalise if for the sample space somehow, it will work. Like I said, enough digits from the left. If our sample space is 100-300 million, we can normalise it. Might even be as simple as a linear normalisation - multiply everything by 3.33.

Oh ****, nice spot. Kelhus was always one who got "hand waiving" wrong, even after being corrected multiple times.

Trolly, do you think we might have a Kelhus on our hands? It's really quite an odd and rare error to make, I think? I can sort of see someone "waving rights to a lawyer", but "waiving a hand"?

Kelhus is somewhere in Cali I think? Could be mistaken.

The reason I asked you, is because I am good at remembering random **** like this:

Don't ask me why.

I'm sure there was another one that followed that said something like "wave, Kel, you know, the thing you do with your hands", the next time he did it.

Ian has posted for several days now without discussing evolutionary biology, which means he can't be Kelhus.

And also, without complaining about mass media. Def not the Kelmeister.

So, there are two of these morons walking around who think that you "waive" your hands. Who knew.

This one is particularly fun though, since he fancies himself as quite the wordsmith.

The **** is up with the mod 1 thing. What am I missing here?

Until and unless told otherwise, I assuming that Sklansky's buddy thinks "mod 1" means "numbers starting with 1", and am not reading any more.

Start with n mod 3, work your way down to n mod 2 (i.e. whether a number is odd or even), and eventually, you might just figure out what n mod 1 is.

No, sir, those are rounded rectangles where the rounding radius is 1 radian and the foci coincide.

You could work out the squares mod 5 on a piece of paper in about 30 seconds, if you understood the question. So, let's not be questioning me on modular arithmetic (or number theory in general), eh? You are the Inspector Clouseau of... everything.
