Quick question

This might be late, but I feel like I could contribute.

If you don’t want to reroll the question is simple. The question is: “Which result was rolled by which unit?”. There are several ways of doing this I will first describe the simple and then the longer (Which will give the same result).

Simple: Since most of the result where misses, they are not interesting, the only question is where to assing the 3. There is 1 in 4 units that could have been the unit rolling a 3, terefore it is 1 in 4 chance that unit was the artillery.

Longer:
In basic uniform probability, we first start with the assumption that every result is equally likely. Every string of lottery numbers have the same odds. all we have to do then is to count the number of outcomes we like, and compare that to the number of possible outcomes when assigning the results. I will call your units I1, I2, I3 and A. There will be 24 ways of assinging the dies, and 6 of them will assign the 3 to the art. The ways of assigning them are:

A: 3 I1: 6 I2:8 I3:9  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 6 I2:9 I3:8  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 8 I2:6 I3:9  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 8 I2:9 I3:6  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 9 I2:6 I3:8  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 9 I2:8 I3:6  = 1 Hit

A: 6 I1: 3 I2:8 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 3 I2:9 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 8 I2:3 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 8 I2:9 I3:3  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 9 I2:3 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 9 I2:8 I3:3  = 0 Hit

A: 8 I1: 3 I2:6 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 3 I2:9 I3:6  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 6 I2:3 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 6 I2:9 I3:3  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 9 I2:3 I3:6  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 9 I2:6 I3:3  = 0 Hit

A: 9 I1: 3 I2:6 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 3 I2:8 I3:6  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 6 I2:8 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 6 I2:9 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 8 I2:6 I3:3  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 8 I2:3 I3:6  = 0 Hit

In total. That is 6 possible hits, of 24 possible scenarios. Which is 1 in 4.

@Gargantua:

I would eat the witch doctor, and lay with the virgin 2nd year med student.

Just to make sure my bases were covered.

yep. it’s all about the BASE

News Flash…

My job is to ENCOURAGE people to come see the site, and to participate, and to also click those banner adds for nice things like games that are in the top corner of your screen (please take a moment to tip your waiter or waitress…)

And part of that promotion of traffic is to run Tournaments.  I oversee 2 Tournaments a year, and I do my best to encourage participation in them (I did REALLY well this Spring, not so good this fall) so that people will join the site and be active here (and click the banner ads… please take a moment to tip your waiter or waitress).

So while I PERSONALLY would have removed JSP and U-505 from the Tournament after probably the second smart ass response, that is NOT in keeping with my assigned job of promoting site participation and getting people to click the banner ads (please take a moment to tip your waiter or waitress).

So I am far more patient with most folks as a Moderator than I EVER would be as a person (and that includes pretty much every conflict or dispute to which i have ever been a party to on this site).

So… please take a moment to tip your waiter and waitress.  And while you do so, think of all the posts that I have deleted unsent in the interest of promoting activity on the site.

Well I went ahead an imported a disc despite the enormous file size claim and it came in when complete at the normal size. However it took about three times as long as anything I’ve ripped before.

Plenty of HD space. Robust equipment. 2.0 GHz P4 family Processor. 2GB Ram. 48x DVD burning drive. Drive works great. Pretty sure it is narrowed down to a software problem.

I found a thread on iLounge where a few folks mentioned slower ripping since moving to the newest iTunes 7.0.2 or something.

This is just a big  :? I call this a “It doesn’t not work,” problem. It isn’t broken but  it isn’t correct either.

Thanks for noticing the pre-print version of the paper.  Its only 5 pages and surprisingly not too terribly difficult to follow.  From the article:

How does information get out of a black hole? My work with Hartle[8] showed the radiation could be thought of as
tunnelling out from inside the black hole. It was therefore not unreasonable to suppose that it could carry information
out of the black hole. This explains how a black hole can form and then give out the information about what is inside
it while remaining topologically trivial. There is no baby universe branching off, as I once thought. The information
remains firmly in our universe. I’m sorry to disappoint science fiction fans, but if information is preserved, there is
no possibility of using black holes to travel to other universes. If you jump into a black hole, your mass energy will
be returned to our universe but in a mangled form which contains the information about what you were like but in a
state where it can not be easily recognized. It is like burning an encyclopedia. Information is not lost, if one keeps the
smoke and the ashes. But it is difficult to read. In practice, it would be too difficult to re-build a macroscopic object
like an encyclopedia that fell inside a black hole from information in the radiation, but the information preserving
result is important for microscopic processes involving virtual black holes. If these had not been unitary, there would
have been observable effects, like the decay of baryons.
…
I gave John an encyclopedia of baseball, but maybe I should just have given him the ashes.

i doubt that passing something through a singularity is a unitary process

Hawking basically states this is a unitary process by what isn’t observed in other quantum effects…i.e. the decay of baryons.  I’m not sure if that is really proof or just a strong indication however.

Is the book Hitler Victorious in the same line?  It sounds like it would be…

I found D-Day to be necessary.  Strategically and politically.

It’s located somewhere in his warped brain. :wink:
