EPT0.43% chance to backflip 10x in a row when you start a sequence of jumps, my record is 7 so far
expected sequence is ~1.27 backflips in a row i think, but IDK how to statistics

Or only those that start with a backflip? | ||

The 1.27 is just the amount of flips that you expect to hit when you jump for the first time. You still have the chance for none at all, but you'll probably jump and if you predict the amount of jumps before you take the first jump, you have ~33.6% chance to jump at least twice, 19.5% chance to jump at least 3 times etc (assuming 58 jumps out of 100 is an accurate representation of the chance and there's no pattern or bias) | ||

The 1.27 is just the amount of flips that you expect to hit when you jump for the first time Ok, then: The chance of you getting one flip is 0.58, so your average backflip series is going to be: SUM from n = 1 to INF: n * (0.58)^n * 0.42 (namely, the chance of a streak of length n, multiplied by the number of backflips in that streak) Which is 0.42( 0.58 + 0.67 + 0.59 + 0.45 + 0.33 + 0.23 + 0.15 + 0.1 + 0.07 + 0.04 + ... ) For the first 10 as above, that gives an average length of 1.35, so I am guesstimating that this will be at most 1.4 if you were to compute it properly (figure out what series this is and use analytical tools to compute the limit). Obviously, the second part of your explanation is right: if you jump until you get your first backflip and THEN see what series you can get, your average series is expected to be somewhere slightly over 2.35 backflips long. | ||

How are you getting 58%, 67%, 59%, 45% chance? How can you ever have a 67% chance for a second jump, or even any jump at all? I have no idea how to read any of that but it seems incorrect. Can't you just get the sequential chance by doing backflip chance to the power of whatever number? | ||

I have no idea how to read any of that but it seems incorrect. Can't you just get the sequential chance by doing backflip chance to the power of whatever number? You were asking for the expected value, right? So the number of backflips you expect to do. So for 2, you have a chance of doing exactly two backflips with chance 0.58* 0.58 * 0.42 = 0.14. However, in this case you do 2 backflips, so you have to multiply this by 2, so 0.28 (which is equal to 0.67 * 0.42). So the component n=2 adds 0.28 to your expected number of backflips. Now you have to sum this from 0 to infinity, which is the same as summing from 1 to infinity, because the series of 0 backflips adds nothing... and you end up with the series above. It's probably some kind of Taylor series, but I have no clue what the function is that generates this as a Taylor expansion. | ||

seems simple enough to say a 33.64% chance of at least two. That's extremely simple math (100*0.58*0.58) | ||

That's extremely simple math (100*0.58*0.58) No. Your actual chance of doing a series of exactly two backflips is ~0.14 (or 14%). Namely the chance of doing at least two backflips (which you did correctly) multiplied by the chance of your third jump not being a backflip (0.42), | ||

They went from hating any kind of daily quests 6 months ago and cheering for their removal, to begging for a new one to be introduced in 6.1 or 6.2 | ||

You can see the same thing with sc2 design, where now it's like they gave every unit one button to click and decided that's "micro intensive". | ||
