wrong

#882

is this still considered cheese to you @Kirefitten

#883

no because it would be wrong

#884

that’s why I said do it

#885

To be fair I was trolling with the “New England” bit

#886

yeah but it still wouldn’t work

Apparently this is how you do it

  1. Roughly how many people live in New York City? — 8,000,000
  2. Does every person own a piano? — no
  3. Can we assume that families own pianos, not individuals? — yes
  4. How large is the average family? — 5 people
  5. So how many families are there in NYC? — 1,600,000
  6. Does every family own a piano? — no… perhaps one in ten does
  7. So how many pianos are there in NYC? — 160,000
  8. How often per year do pianos need to be tuned? — once per year
  9. How many piano tunings can one piano tuner do? — let’s say 4 per day, so if there’s 200 working days in a year, that’s 800 per year
  10. So how many piano tuners could NYC support?— 160,000/800 = 200 piano tuners

to be fair it’s technically “more then 100, less then a 1000”

#893

NYC has big families

#894

My answer to an assignment I just had:

If I were to design an experiment based on a game, I’d like to do it on the party game mafia. Although the original setup is a simple one with a cop, a doctor, and some mafia members, various players have created their own spinoffs. MafiaWiki currently lists 264 setups as “official”; there are hundreds and possibly thousands of non-official setups, in which the host simply creates their own. In these games, balance is a key aspect - if a 21-player game had 20 mafia members and 1 villager, it would not be very fair. Generally, setups would need to be fair - over a large number of games, the winrates for both factions should become reasonably equal. As such, I would like to test different setups for their “fairness.” I know of 4 sites dedicated to playing mafia in a forum format, and (if allowed) will give each forum a different setup. They will each play 100 games of that setup over some period of time; the playerlist would not have to stay the same, since roles and alignments are randomized before each game. If a player is considered “good”, they will show their excellence in mafia as both factions.

thoughts?

I forgot if I mentioned it but the reason I say it wouldn’t work is you are assuming each sale is a different piano tuner
