I made a slight mistake in the progam, which shouldn’t effect the probabilities much, but I haved fixed it here :
public class MontyHall
{
public static float calculateProbability(int doors, boolean swap)
{
Random rand = new Random();
int repeats = 1000;int wins = 0;
for(int i = 0; i <= repeats; i++) {
// Place the car behind a random…[Read more] -

Turns out I recalled the solution inncorectly. I wrote a simulation to test the problem, swapping doors idoes mprove your chances of winnining.

Turns out I was wrong, I wrote a simulation and it does improve your probablity of winning.

Switching doors doesn’t statistically improve your chances of winning the car, the Monty Hall problem is a good example of how raw probabilities can be misleading.
The easiest way to demonstrate this would be to write two computer programs that randomly select doors. The first program always switches doors, the other will always keep it’s door.…[Read more]

I’m not sure how much I agree with this. From my experience most people who go to university are of average or below average intelligence. And if they already had knowledge then there is no purpose in them attending a university course.
There are still people who believe that today.

This is the kind of artifact you would effect to see if multiple photos were joined together, or parts of the image were exposed at different times. You can see a lot of things similar to this on google street view if you look around in populated areas.

The perspective seems off to me, unless the gravestones are very tall, or the man is short. When I get home I will have a look at it in more detail. If I can isolate the man from the rest of the image, a reverse image search might be able to find where the photo of the man orginally came from if it was edited in.

I did some quick investigation, it was invented by Bond. One of his employees by the name of William Fuld splintered off to create his own company that manifactured ouija boards. The Fuld company was bought by Hasbro in 1991.
But what I said is still correct, that they were never seriously intended to be used for communication with spirits.
