RE: Has anyone else"Fifty percent comes from an old philosophy debate. Since anything CAN happen, no matter how unlikely it may seem, then the odds of any single event occuring would be 50% (either it will or it won't)."
Well I see where the handle Mythlord comes from, just don't understand why.
PS if this myth were true,
Flip a coin, it could land on it's edge, or it's face, therefore, 50% chance of landing on it's edge. Try 100 flips see if it lands on edge half the time.
Oh but hey, it could land heads, tales or on it's edge, that's three events, each occurring 50% of the time, so that means 150%, So we get more than one result sometimes when the coin is flipped. We have just invented discovered quantum mechanics superposition of states, who needs schrodinger et al. Soemtimes the coin must land in a head / tail state, or head edge state.
Oh but there are an infinite number of angles of roatation the coin could be in when landing on its egde in, dwarfing the two head / tails states, so it must land on it's edge all the time, at zillions of angles simultaneously.
Yup happens all the time, so much so I gave saying 'toss a coin for it' just too complicated.
Idle
