Random Thought of the day...

[veggiechicken]

If I draw a Floor plan - I have to add walls to it (like a section). I can't draw just a plan, or just a section. I've no idea how the builders ever made sense of them
Not sure what this says about my brain

[Mikey]

Thats easy VC, I've never met a builder yet that follows a set of plans.

[bretty666]

I follow plans..but sometimes they are wrong!

[bretty666]

Slow or fast thinking? I believe that fast thinkers have a good memory..take your 2*2 example..thats not thinking its memory. as for more complicated sums.....they need thinking about and you can only get the answer if gou understand maths...i have a great memory and like to think im a fast thinker..but im also an over thinker i will know an answer then try to find out why the answer is what it is.

[Mikey]

Here's are 2 questions for you, I'll ask the first now and the second after lunch, so you can have a break between the two.

I bump into you in the street and ask if you like to gamble, what would be your answer?

I then give you a �10 note and say that is your to keep, but you have the option of winning more, this is the question. You can have �5 now or you can gamble that �5 on a flip of the coin heads or tails, if you are right you win a further �5, making �20, if you lose you just keep the �10 you started with, do you gamble for �10 or keep the extra �5?

[Bigmallly]

If it's a freebie to start with then you've nowt to lose by gambling.

[bretty666]

Where is the 5 coming from?

[Mikey]

So would you gamble for the extra �10 then BM?

[Mikey]

You are �10 up to start with Brett, you are gambling for an extra �10.

[veggiechicken]

No - You've given me �10 + �5 = �15 and said I can gamble �5 to make it �20.
I'd stick with �15,

[Mikey]

I've given you �10, you can have a further �5 no strings, or you can gamble the �5 I'll give you to make it �10. If you win you have �20, if you lose you have �10.

Ok

[veggiechicken]

If you're giving me a further �5 "no strings" then I'm gonna keep it!
Is your question meant to say
I give you �10. Then I give you �5 but only if you are prepared to gamble it to win another �5........otherwise I' haven't a clue what you're on about

[Nicos]

Can I just have the �10 ...you lot can quibble over the rest!

[Mikey]

Why is this so difficult......

�10 yours put it in your pocket.

�5 yours too if you want, you can keep that also and walk away.

or you can gamble that �5 with a chance of winning a second �5 on a toss of a coin, if you win I give you a further �5 (you now have �20), but if you lose you give me the �5 (and you only have �10).

You don't have to gamble at all, you can walk away with the �15 if you like.

Happy?

[Nicos]

so...is my �10 in the post then??
