and obviously we are expecting there to be no difference in the angle of the sunrays hitting the person and tree even though technically there is a miniscule number at which that would change it but then there wouldn't be enough information for the question to be answered and etc. so just no lol
Im scared of the amount of maths here for once
Peter is playing craps. The probability he will win on the pass line is 49%. How many tries does he need to win first time on the pass line

Well, what I do is analyze the question thoroughly. Questions in math can be broadly categorized into 2 groups. One part consists of proving given statements, and the other part is solving. There are many ways of proving; you can do so by contradiction, induction, or by a more direct method, and there are many ways of solving too. For solving (i.e. what I call providing an answer to a numeric, geometric or algebraic question) the way the question's framed usually tells you how you have to solve it, but in proofs, it's more subtle, if you've noticed. And there are many ways of proving a specific statement. For example, if I have to prove that there are finitely/infinitely many somethings (trivial instance: infinite primes) then the most obvious approach is by contradiction, but there may be a hidden twist. So yeah, it's pretty complicated. Also, you've gotta trust your intuition. If you feel that an obvious proof shouldn't work, be wary.

Yeah, it is!

Please do :D

It always scares me

Which number is this?

I think that's the Tiananmen Square.
It is interesting to compare the chinese system with "our" western System. They have own symbols for 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 but not for 100000.
