I'm betting it'll be the same look as every dubmass who doesn't understand how non-independent events work.
I'm ADDING the probabilities and multiplying by 100.
So it's no longer P{x} but a point construct.

if you want to fix it multiply all of the (1-P(scum)s together.
Then take 1-the answer to get P(scum)
Pedit: Yeah it's still useless

as mentioned, they're not just independent dice rolls

Aw, that's how it works and I have tremendous success with it.

For dependent events you're supposed to multiply them. Your probabilities have zero mathematical meaning.

I've been doing this sort of analysis mid-game since the dawn of time, why the sudden challenge? Look up my history. Or crawl back to your QT and ask for assistance.
Also of note, vollkan rates pretty high given his low profile.

"The sudden challenge"? This is the first game we've played together, how can it be sudden? Are you suggesting I should have barged into past games and called you out on it?
