  • This makes sense. And I can see how to apply when you add more dice with different probability.

    … however, when I did that math, I ended up with 87.04%

    1-((1-.64) x (1-.4) x (1-.4)) = x

    1-(.36 x .6 x .6) = x

    1-.1296 = .8704

    87.04% chance to get 2 winning dice

    Hold up. Something seems off with this.

    I tried calculating the probability of landing 2 losing side by using the same method and it doesn’t add up

    .2 x .2 = .04

    .2 x .5 = .1

    .2 x .5 = .1

    1-((1-.04) x (1-.1) x (1-.1) = x

    1-(.96 x .9 x .9) = x

    1-.7776 = .2224

    22.24% chance to have 2 losing dice.

    But 87.04+22.24 = 109.28%

    You would think that adding the winning combinations to the losing combinations would be 100%

    What am I missing














  • If it helps at all, I didn’t spend my younger years drinking, and I’m still considered friends with most of the people I made friends with in my 20’s. However, I almost never see and/or talk them anymore, just because life gets busy, and it becomes harder to maintain contact. It’s still hard for me to find new friends and people to hang out with. I believe that particular struggle is a pretty shared experience regardless of what our younger selves did. It’s entirely possible that even if you didn’t spend your younger days drinking, that “friend circle” would be just as absent as it is now.

    I think you’re doing great, and the advice of going to the gym and finding a hobby is great advice for yourself too, that’s how I met the friends I have now. it’s a great way to find people who are busy with life, but have made time in their life for their hobby, and you can share that time with them, and badda bing badda boom, friendship.
