Just in case anyone was wondering, I am a very stable genius.

It's exactly the same as a coin toss. If you specify the exact order of results then all outcomes are equal, but if you simply say 'one head and one tail' you have to sum the number of sequence combinations that can occur. There's a formula for calculating the number of permutations which I...

He had to sell out I think for the metaphor to work. I know everything can mean different things to different people, but I think...

Just discovered it and watched the first series last night. Really good thought-provoking stuff and original too. The second episode in particular was a great metaphor in my opinion. Getting some flack online for being derivative of 1984 and Brave New World but I think the message is...

Recording it - we're going to binge once we have the whole series.

Harry is correct and Schmmeee has explained why. The probability of each individual draw is 0.5 each time. For the next two draws the probability of two homes = 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25. Similarly for two away it is 0.25. However for one home and one away there are two combinations that work: HA =...

That's true. It is all about odds and over time it is likely (but not certain) to even out. However that doesn't alter the probability of a home tie in the next round.

No, he's wrong.

The balls in the bag don't remember that we have had three home ties. It's a 50-50 chance.

I would hope that if we drew a huge club away with a ticket pay off of £1m +, the club might just agree to spend some of the money before the tie.

If that's directed at me I'm not moaning - I think it's great.

The prize money isn't great until the very late stages - the majority of the benefit is gate money. I reckon a total of £225k benefit from today.

£225k from today: £175k from the gate + winner prize. Man U or Liverpool away now so MR can get his wallet out.

Man U away please for a £1m pay day.

get in!

Glad we've cleared that up. I'm off.

Nietzsche shouldn't be read because it's boring and inconsequential. I seldom fail to finish a book, but 'Beyond Good and Evil' succeeded.

You are moving on. I'm not going to bite yet until we've cleared up whether Corbyn is a major threat and the imperfections in the UK today are even slightly comparable.

Pick one. Is May equivalent to any one of them?

Trotsky was responsible for many deaths himself - even though he lost out on the 'who's the biggest psychopath' pissing contest. But yeah, I'd go if I was in the area too. But then I haven't praised these regimes have I? So it would be pretty clear that I was on a tourism thing rather than a...
