i suppose that i did what i wanted...

I vaguely understand this. Still, the man seems to cheat with the actuality...take this [verbatim] quote...

"Suppose that I have probability p_1 of landing heads and you have probability p_2 \geq p_1 of landing heads."

Does that strike you as odd? Does it worry you that p2 is nowhere defined? As a mathematician I suspect a trick. Um, when did I become a mathematician? New quote...

T_Z:=\inf\{n\geq 3: Z_nZ_{n-1}Z_{n-2}=HHH\}

be the first times Z sees three heads in a row. Now obviously you know that \mathbb{E}[T_X]\leq \mathbb{E}[T_Y], but can you prove it?

Well we know what that's all about: utter shash-headed fuck wittage, sloppy tripe that leaves the poor, math loving peons on their shaking-own.

I know wat Z is, I know what n means, I have could look up inf if I could be bothered; the rest, bottom in the wind territory. And I dislike that assumption that I obviously know your lazy shite.

Doubtless better mathos than I are laughing at me, but it is what it is, the point of a proof is to complel belief. And if you can't be even be bothered to explain the axioms/symbols then...

I will wait for correction.

Nor me, but I doubt it would help as I'm a dunce as far as this sort of thing goes anyway.

Rant, Neil, rant!

Oh, i think I'm a probability coupling, makes sense...
