A question for those who have dealt with Professors.

This might be late, but I feel like I could contribute.

If you don’t want to reroll the question is simple. The question is: “Which result was rolled by which unit?”. There are several ways of doing this I will first describe the simple and then the longer (Which will give the same result).

Simple: Since most of the result where misses, they are not interesting, the only question is where to assing the 3. There is 1 in 4 units that could have been the unit rolling a 3, terefore it is 1 in 4 chance that unit was the artillery.

Longer:
In basic uniform probability, we first start with the assumption that every result is equally likely. Every string of lottery numbers have the same odds. all we have to do then is to count the number of outcomes we like, and compare that to the number of possible outcomes when assigning the results. I will call your units I1, I2, I3 and A. There will be 24 ways of assinging the dies, and 6 of them will assign the 3 to the art. The ways of assigning them are:

A: 3 I1: 6 I2:8 I3:9  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 6 I2:9 I3:8  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 8 I2:6 I3:9  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 8 I2:9 I3:6  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 9 I2:6 I3:8  = 1 Hit
A: 3 I1: 9 I2:8 I3:6  = 1 Hit

A: 6 I1: 3 I2:8 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 3 I2:9 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 8 I2:3 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 8 I2:9 I3:3  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 9 I2:3 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 6 I1: 9 I2:8 I3:3  = 0 Hit

A: 8 I1: 3 I2:6 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 3 I2:9 I3:6  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 6 I2:3 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 6 I2:9 I3:3  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 9 I2:3 I3:6  = 0 Hit
A: 8 I1: 9 I2:6 I3:3  = 0 Hit

A: 9 I1: 3 I2:6 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 3 I2:8 I3:6  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 6 I2:8 I3:9  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 6 I2:9 I3:8  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 8 I2:6 I3:3  = 0 Hit
A: 9 I1: 8 I2:3 I3:6  = 0 Hit

In total. That is 6 possible hits, of 24 possible scenarios. Which is 1 in 4.

The 2011 Patron support drive is officially started. You can read about it in the Website/Forum Discussion.

Ah, I see it now.  I wasn’t looking at the stickied topics, so I missed it the first time.  I’ve now sent in my contribution for 2011.

Good man! Spread the word.

@Incline:

Thanks for the responses, guys. Appreciate the help!

Just went ahead and ordered AAP40 from Amazon. Looking forward to getting it.

I’m definitely gonna try and get into playing both AA42 and AAP40 online. What’s the standard in the community when it comes to playing the games online? Do the majority of you prefer playing by forum, playing by email (both of which are still somewhat confusing to me, but I’m sure I’ll learn with time), or TripleA? I’ve also heard about ABattlemap….What’s the general consensus on the best way to play?

I believe that the majority of the players active on this website who play Axis and Allies online use ABattlemap to play here on this website using PBF (Play By Forum), but I know that there are also several players who play using TripleA.  I believe that play by e-mail is basically a thing of the past, but I could be wrong.  I personally have only played online using ABattlemap, and yes, the very first time that I played, I was a little confused, but after the first round of play, I was playing online just like someone who had played online for quite a while (not actual gameplay, but posting correctly and such).  It’s actualy not that difficult once you jump in.

Read Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan or Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind if you want some good reading.

This is a problem concerning looking back on history.  What you know of Hitler (primarily killing millions of people and starting a war) can be attributed to him from when he was conceived until his death.  You look upon him with that lens always on.  That’s probably why you were turned off when this individual said that Hitler’s book (not killing millions of people) was a different POV, by association.

That is an excellent point. Our looks back tend to be colored by our present preferences. They can interfere with objectivity.

Hitler is one of the most important figures of the last century. Reading the autobiographys and biographys of important people has always been considered part of being literate.

satan is an important person but i prefer to read the Bible and not his book. your freind didn’t want to offend you and tried to sound nice even though he thought you were a whacko nazi.

Well I went ahead an imported a disc despite the enormous file size claim and it came in when complete at the normal size. However it took about three times as long as anything I’ve ripped before.

Plenty of HD space. Robust equipment. 2.0 GHz P4 family Processor. 2GB Ram. 48x DVD burning drive. Drive works great. Pretty sure it is narrowed down to a software problem.

I found a thread on iLounge where a few folks mentioned slower ripping since moving to the newest iTunes 7.0.2 or something.

This is just a big  :? I call this a “It doesn’t not work,” problem. It isn’t broken but  it isn’t correct either.

Some companies have also been taken private, gone bankrupt, or merged.  This reduces stock supply.

Banks, insurors, and college endowments will continue to invest in stocks.  In or out of the US would be the right question to ask.

My current and prior co’s 401K plans all offered an international fund.

I started allocating 60% of my paycheck contributions to it last year.

It’s a good story, nonetheless, and possibly has some actual roots in some dark corner of history. :wink:
