What would be the probability of a team going up in a "league" of 4 using exactly the same logic of assigning 50-50 per match as you've used above?

Soctty Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just to let you all know that black is white. I know everyone else says black is black, but it's not. Dont worry about not understanding the logic. Not everyone is clever enough - it's non-intuitive. If you don't think that black is white, please demonstrate how you have come to this conclusion. I'll be setting a question completely unrelated to this later to deflect everyone's attention. Look - a squirrel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrels are in fact pigeons - it's a little known fact that has nothing to do with black, or white for that matter, but leads gently off the path I mistakenly started going down before realising I was going the wrong way. And you probably wouldn't understand the logic - it's counter-intu... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, this was as close as I'm prepared to get to admitting defeat! 20 hours ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: i have a horrible feeling though that in the true law of statistics/probability, Slartibartfast is probably (no pun intended) correct. I further suspect that he knows exactly what we are trying to say, agrees with the spirit of what we are trying to say, but is intent on being a pedantic smartypants . If he is indeed correct, then I refer you to an earlier post of mine and would contend that the law of statistics/probability gobbles donkeys!
