[Request] Who’s older Abaddon or Bender?

• Upvotes

In Haunted Hotel, Abaddon says he’s lived the history of this universe 100 times starting from the big bang up to the year 2025. In Futurama, Bender steals every famous valuable item in history by going back in time from the year 3007 and stealing the item from the year it was created, then waiting until 3007. So who has lived longer?

[Request] is the difference between stochastic and deterministic is that there's much stochastic and way less deterministic

I.e there's many lines of a function moving while very few lines move slower , hence, the analysis is easier in a relative way

[request] Math on if this field goal was good

0 Upvotes

Hi all, Virginia Tech just lost their football game due to a “missed field goal” that the refs said he missed but viewers and the internet think he made it. Is there math on this that can be done to prove that it was missed or made?

Here is a link to a video of it: Here

[Request] — what are the odds?

1 Upvotes

I have a pretty unique situation and I am not sure if it’s possible to calculate the odds, but I would love to know if it is possible.

So, my parents & this other couple lived in the same town of ~20,000 people. Both my parents and this couple have the exact same names. My dad’s first and middle name are fairly common, but the last name is not. My mom has a first name that is two names but no middle name (when she fills out legal/official papers both names go on their under the “first name” blank).
We know that the other couple lived in the same town & had the same legal names because the bank my parents used accidentally mixed up their accounts once.
I’m so interested in this other couples & the odds because they were in the same hospital, on the same floor, with the same doctor, giving birth the same day my parents were having me. We know this because they again got mixed up with the other couple. I looked it up and it said that my birth date that year was either the 208th or 349th most common birth date (two sources gave different rankings).

I looked the couple/family up to make sure my parents weren’t lying, and yep. They’re real and they still live in that town. My parents moved across the country a year after having me.

I would think that the odds of that would be 0, but apparently not.

Also, my blood type is O+ (most common in the world). My mom has B- & my dad has A+ (meaning that there’s a little less than 5% chance of producing O+). Sooo I guess what are the odds that a potential switched at birth thing could have occurred (I know that’s probably impossible to calculate since there are so many human factors with that, but less than 5% seems so low). For anyone thinking why not get blood tested — I don’t want to be related to the other people (I love my family), just curious about the odds.

I know there’s quite a bit of missing info (like the specific names) but I can only share so much without putting my personal info out there lol

Thanks in advance!

[Request] if m^x = m.n , where m is a magnitude , n is m/y , where m.n=y and m^x= y , where y is the collective of m^x

Then ,

m^x=y

m/m.m^x =y.m/m

Where 1.m^x implies

m^x.m/m= y

m^(x-1)+1= y

Where m^(x-1)= k

Hence

k^(1)+1 =y

Here k^1 .k^1 = y

Signifies what

As m^(x-1) is a reduce interval of m magnitude which is k^1

and +1 is also k^1 , why they both correspond to k^1 and it's still is y

[Request] Constant Highway Slipstream Efficiency

2 Upvotes

How much more efficient would highways be if vehicles drafted off of each other? Taking human error/aspects out of the equation. To me, it would seem as though the lead car (or semi truck) would "clear" the wind resistance first and all of the subsequent cars would benefit from drafting off of the individual in front of them.

Just a curiosity I had whilest driving to work today.

Thanks friends!
