Sounds like a problem easily solvable by a brute force algorithm
Asking a girl on a second date.-raven- 02-21-2008, 04:10 PM Sounds like a problem easily solvable by a brute force algorithm ayz 02-21-2008, 04:13 PM yeah a^2 + b^2 = c^2 1/2 a b = 666,666 whats the third equation, i haven't done trig in a long ass time ptavv 02-21-2008, 04:15 PM Sounds like a problem easily solvable by a brute force algorithm You just have to write one to generate pythagorean triples... ayz 02-21-2008, 04:16 PM oh or you can program and cheat instead of doing it the old fashioned way ptavv 02-21-2008, 04:18 PM there's no third easy equation to generate pythagorean triples ayz ayz 02-21-2008, 04:19 PM i feel like we could use the law of cosines or something for a third equation but i forgot all of that shit -raven- 02-21-2008, 04:20 PM You just have to write one to generate pythagorean triples... All the problem comes down to is finding factors of 1333332 ptavv 02-21-2008, 04:23 PM okay, so it should be easy tehn -raven- 02-21-2008, 04:24 PM Waste of space. ptavv 02-21-2008, 04:26 PM all the numbers should be integers if you don't get the idea of pythagorean triples -raven- 02-21-2008, 04:27 PM Since you are looking for integers, your answer is A:693 B:1924 C:2045 ptavv 02-21-2008, 04:28 PM :sunny: i wrote a script to do this a long time ago just figured i'd throw it out since i'm bored Glare 02-21-2008, 04:30 PM what the fuck -raven- 02-21-2008, 04:38 PM Ok here's another one. Let's say we have a socially awkward dumbass detector. It detects whether or not you are a Mormon with 99% accuracy. So obviously 1% of the time it returns the wrong answer. If we use this detector on a random American, and it indicates that the individual s indeed a Mormon, what is the probability of that person actually being a Mormon? (this is serious btw) ptavv 02-21-2008, 04:46 PM 99% silentsam 02-21-2008, 04:47 PM Read the first post, then jump to this page and read the post above me. The train obiviously went off the tracks somewhere in 24 pages. I love TW. SegaRob 02-21-2008, 04:57 PM Ok here's another one. Let's say we have a socially awkward dumbass detector.

If we use this detector on a random American, and it indicates that the individual s indeed a Mormon, what is the probability of that person actually being a Mormon? (this is serious btw) depends on the number of mormons in the US. -raven- 02-21-2008, 04:58 PM 99% Obviously not or I wouldn't have asked the question. eggo 02-21-2008, 04:59 PM yeah a^2 + b^2 = c^2 1/2 a b = 666,666 whats the third equation, i haven't done trig in a long ass time P+B= poopy p ayz 02-21-2008, 05:04 PM Ok here's another one.

(this is serious btw) uh this is just 1 - probability of a false positive type 1 error im not gonna actually do the stats calculation for you though | ||
