Think of it from Charlie's point of view. You pick one card from three. That leaves Charlie with three possible combinations of two cards:
goat/goat
car/goat
goat/car
Charlie reveals a goat card. The three possibilities for his hidden card are reduced to:
goat
car
car
If you switch with Charlie you go from one chance in three to win, to two chances in three.
I also need to start working on the Miracleborns. What, 6 hours in the car with a baby could be fun!
Specially now that we have the Miracleborn Stealth MiniVan.
Tim, the manager of Emmett's Little League Team, is gone this weekend so I'm running the team.
The last time I was in charge of running the team Emmett broke his nose.
Wish me some safe-ma today.
On the plus side, I get to set the pitching and positions for today and tomorrow's game. Fantasy Manager Land!
JZ continues her community service (for parking tix) by spending all day at a Circus Arts Benefits performance. It's a long day, but on the whole considerably more fun than picking up trash along the freeway.
And tomorrow is our paper anniversary.
Hec, I sent JZ an email about this, but we need to figure out tomorrow. When would be a good time to call her?
Cereal:
Yay for Stealth minivans! And safe-ma to you and the team, Hec.
Timelies all!
Started the day by having a bottle of shower gel slip out of my hands and hit me in the foot, cap side down.(Hard enough to raise a welt =and= draw blood)Walking's a little unfun at the moment.
We went looking at houses today. One serious contender among the single-family homes.
Hey, it's JZ. I'm just fixing lunch; call me in 15?
Sure, assuming that was for me.
Eeek!
I don't know whether the Southern Hemisphere overall is colder than the Northern, or hotter -- but I do know that the landlocked South Pole is seriously colder than the North Pole, because of the warming effect of the Arctic Ocean, even ice-covered as it is.
A Japanese research team has developed a fuel cell that runs on blood without using toxic substances, opening the way for use in artificial hearts and other organs.
The biological fuel cell uses glucose, a sugar in blood, with a non-toxic substance used to draw electrons from glucose, said the team led by Matsuhiko Nishizawa, bio-engineering professor at the graduate school of state-run Tohoku University.
"Since the electron mediator is based on Vitamin K3, which exists in human bodies, it excels in safety and could in the future generate power from blood as an implant-type fuel cell," the group said in a statement.
