But the statistics of getting 2 races and then 3 protoss in a row at the end of the 5 matchups yields a funny number. 1.234567890repeating % Indeed many people failing here, namely the 10 people who have adequately explained this to the ONE person who is atrocious with numbers. It is nice to see you can do 7th grade math, but I don't know if it was worth a wall of text for. | ||

Meh I cut out my math rant, as someone below said it's just one guy who can't do it and he already corrected himself. Back on topic, looking forward to Idra/Nony - I hope Nony wins but either way the 3rd place matchup is going to be epic. | ||

Trying to not get sucked into the troll, but I failed. 7th grade math -> Algebra, if you didn't go over simple probability there, I don't know what to tell you. Also, a page full of mindless drone about the said simple math is also not needed. Hoped my 2 liner would stuff it, but apparently I provoked more. | ||

Let's get this thread back on topic. Nice mirror by WhiteRa, imo he gave up so soon in game 2. Game 1 was one of the best I've seen recently. So crazy.. | ||

The chances of 3 protoss in a row is 1/3^3 = 1/27, not 1/81. The chances of getting any race 3 times is 1/9. You're adding in an extra multiplication in both calculations that shouldn't be there. Let's all not worry about the chances of him getting any give race. A lot of people are pretty confused here lol... Also, basic permutations and combinations are usually learned around grade 10 or so, this isn't university level math at all. | ||

Really liked the TLO vs WhiteRa games, shame TLO lost. Really think he should stick with a race. | ||
