The tone ended up being a bit bluer than I expected, hence the title.
Suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
Cute!
It reminds me of a dad/randomness thing from my past, so I got all
nostalgic. In a good way, not a PTSD way.
When I was 13, my dad and I both read an article about the Monty Hall
problem. (Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem for an
overview.) I agreed with the expert after enumerating the possible
outcomes and summing their probabilities; my dad still disagreed. I
wrote a small program to simulate the game show and the counts seemed to
agree with the probabilities; my dad said the program must be wrong.
Okay, maybe a little PTSD. For heck's sake, the man was a
*meteorologist* and a *programmer*. Statistics was half his life, and he
could ready my code! Anyway, I know I'm right, and that's all that
counts. Right? Right.
Ah, dads and randomness. Makes me a little teary.
