    No, it isn't. No amount of wishing on your part changes that fact. If it was, other, equally ridiculous ideas would also have to be accepted on faith, such as hitting a golf ball into the sunset from the deck of a yacht as a school of untrained dolphins swims by on the port side results in thunderstorms in Arkansas. Extending your logic, we should automatically believe that golf and dolphins are intrinsically related to Arkansas' precipitation. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

    Isn't that a bit like cursing them to die an early death? Memorial Day is for remembering fallen troops. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    I do not claim it is definitely possible, I claim it is difficult to determine that it is impossible. The default position is that it cannot be done with current technology. To make a credible claim that it is possible requires supporting evidence. Jones is a tin-foil hatter because he makes such extraordinary claims without any supporting evidence. It's his normal method of operation. His site(s) allow him to cash in on the gullibility of conspiracy theorists. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    That's not the way it works. You claim it can be done with current technology. It is your responsibility to support such an extraordinary claim with evidence. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    The onus is on you to back up the claim that it is possible to create an EF5 tornado at will. A YouTube video does not count as credible research. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  11. jcd11235
    Jones implies that it is possible to cause an EF5 tornado to form with current technology. I call bullshit. Show us credible research that suggests that it can be done. Otherwise, yeah, it's just the same tin-foil hat stuff Jones is so well known for. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    Whenever possible, I schedule things with friends for noonish, tenish, etc, which largely eliminates the problem. Life's too short to worry that much about me or my friends being exactly on time. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    Wouldn't lithium ion cells be a better choice for flight? The energy to weight and energy to volume ratios would be higher compared to a lead-acid battery. Lithium manganese oxide or LiFePO4 would probably be my top two choices for a fast draining application. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    No, it was sufficiently succinct. There's no need for twenty-seven eight-by-ten color glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one is. No one would look at them, anyway.

    Exorbitant. And what is "Factorials!" anyway? Some kind of recursive lesson? Factorials! is just the word Factorials, followed by punctuation. Sorry for the ambiguity, but it's the only way I know to get people to pay $6! for a tutoring session.

    Being in the military is just a job, more honorable than some, less honorable than others. Wearing a uniform doesn't make one a hero any more than not wearing one precludes it. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

    Yeah, and he would also be a serial killer. He's not a serial killer, he's a mass murderer. If you're going to participate a thread quibbling over what he's being called then you should try and get it right. Nobody has agreed with you on this.I agree with him. A serial killer is someone who commits multiple murders separated by a substantial time interval (days to sometimes years). Someone who kills a bunch of people in a single incident is a mass murderer. Don You are thinking of a spree killer. "A serial killer is one who commits a number of murders over a long period of time, with the killings separated by often long periods of apparent normalcy. A mass murderer, on the other hand, is an individual who kills several people in a single event. A spree killer kills in a series of closely connected events." Source Math tutoring available.

    Quien sabe? It does not appear that your calculations take into account the fact that as the jackpot increases, more people play, so the odds of multiple winners increase. This reduces the probability x payout value. But yes at some point, playing for large jackpots makes sense. I once started to do the analysis, but I couldn't find the data to see exactly how jackpot size affects tickets sold. In theory, there could be a jackpot large enough to give a ticket an expected value greater than its cost. It's also likely that at another, larger jackpot size, the public buys enough tickets that the expected number of winners is high enough that the expected value of a ticket drops back below its sale price.
