That's why I have a website, so I can remember what the plain English solution to the problem is. Notice the solution there is a complete description of the (annoying, unrealistic) problem with the important three choices at each boarding and the exact probability of each of the three spelled out in correct mathematical notation. I remember neither of you wrote that. Obviously if you had there would be no controversy. Frankly I would forget the solution myself if I didn't have it on the website because it is such a stupid, easily forgettable problem. Yes I do know I make mistakes, Aj_June , and yes I do admit them. I remember using a computer simulation that was always failing for lack of decent modern equipment. I still don't have a modern computer. Windows 7 is the latest I have and I don't use it yet because the Windows XP computers are not burned out yet. This reply is from a Windows XP computer. Even before when you got the answers wrong you have blamed the questions themselves. I remember I had posted questions from LSAT. Actual retired questions from LSAT. The most prestigious law school exam and probably one of the most prestigious exams in the world. That was a logical reasoning question, which you and Jw-Tutor had gotten wrong and which Cash had gotten right. But you instantly attacked the question itself instead of realizing your mistake of picking the wrong answer. Jw-Tutor accepted his mistake but you didn't. Same here. Eva, Kiera, Tickingmask and I got the answers correct in the probability question but you kept blaming the question. And even today you are doing the same thing. And I will show your mistake again if you like. Maybe it was LSAT or maybe it was your presentation of it, whichever way it said there was "new" information when in fact there was not. I can explain that again if you like. Your friends all got the "right" answer because they thoroughly memorized a formula and simply plugged in the numbers that the author of the problem had intended for that formula.

Good luck with that. I plan to keep it. Maybe you should check out the new arts section. There is a science fiction story about "Superfetus" an aborted fetus who was accidentally exposed to radiation from the nuclear medicine equipment, came to life and grew to giant proportions. There is also a game to match 20 different personality traits with 20 different animals. Wow, your lack of language comprehension is matched only by your lack of imagination. You are not the most convincing person on the planet yourself.

Y You failed to show that Arlon. Plus it's not just that only my "friends" got the answers correctly. The CFA/LSAT exam conductors got the answers different than you got and thus you got the wrong answers in both the questions. Those are the among the most reputed exams and do you even understand the implication of them giving incorrect answers. They will get sued! In any case, I don't think you would ever agree with me so it's fine.

Whilst I highly doubt that this is an accurate summation of the situation ( I did not see the initial post with the questions) ...if that formula was correct and your way of solving the problem was incorrect...then what is the problem? You were wrong and should admit it.

He's using argumentum ad potentiam and argumentum ad populum, silly boy. Logic requires presenting the problem word for word. Those types of argument by the way are the same ones far too many people use because of their position on the Normal Distribution Curve. QED. The "authorities" (or yours anyway) get things wrong for the same reasons. That's why the world is in its current mess.

I know latin blah blah blah Okay, so you don't understand logic as well. Your answer was wrong because it was wrong. Period. You believing that the question was wrong doesn't get you a pass. Your mind that suffers from dunning-kruger effect can imagine many things, such as you being smarter than scientists or you being proficient in logic, but that doesn't mean you are smarter. Here's you getting the answer wrong. You have no idea what you talk about.

I went on later to explain that whether one or two items, "new" is not the correct description of events. I stand by that. And what you believe about quite many things is wrong, most importantly of which is that you believe that non living short chains of RNA have any chance of building chains much longer than 40 links.

Planet Arlon. I find it quite amusing that you find problems wrong and not answers, ( or at least only when YOU get the answer wrong) whether it be doors opening on goats and cars, people boarding on aeroplanes, market variations or non living short chains of RNA (sic) There really should be something done about this problem problem! Maybe your website could help, in plain English?

He is another regular poster on here and from the old boards and he has opinions like the rest of us, and the right to express them. IMHO he about a zillion times more credible than you, Mr Dunning Kruger effect poster boy!

I am not sure I am to be honest, I just log in occasionally and see the same old shit as always, Erjen complaining about the gays/atheists, Arlon failing to comprehend English and Maya doing what ever that is.

You have missed the extreme amusement caused by the poster known as Heeeey. who you might remember from the old boards.(Politivs...she came over here to hide when the voting for DoucheBagOfTheYear was going on...as the last year's champion) She is schooling us all ( even the professional, semi-professional and university educated scientists on here) with real science. ( not to be confused with Planet Arlon's 'real science'. ) There are apparently quite a few real sciences. Who knew
