Let us assume that it's three people, and only two of them have the disease. On the first night each one of the diseased monks will see only one monk with a dot and one monk without a dot. If he returns on the next day and the one guy wiith the dot returns as well, then he knows that that...

Technically, Te' has stated HOW they knew. He just didn't explain how they knew that they knew.

That is not true. Te' and I know. And we both know that we both know. And we both know that you don't know. But it seems like we can't explain it to you. Te' gave you a very good first step with his "island" scenario, I could take it from there and play the whole thing with three...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That is correct. Since the solution would be so trivial if he told them, let's just say he didn't tell them the number of diseased monks.

You might be onto something there, that math professor I mentioned has had more difficulty understanding it than anyone else I know.

The weird thing is, they ALL know that they will all return at least 9 times, some of them (those who see nine dots) hope that those nine will not return on the tenth day, the others hope that those ten won't return on the eleventh day. So, if they all know that nothing will happen for the next...

Yes, you are right, but if you are like me, you might soon realize that you don't quite understand it, a little later you will think you understand it, a little while after that you won't, then you will. It might go on for the rest of your life. That's why I am still looking for an explanation...

It might be pretty obvious to you, but I have yet to find an explanation that the average person would understand. Maybe it is just one of the things that the average person is not meant to understand.

Correct, but you were not required to give an explanation for your answer. But since you seem to like explanations, maybe this one will be more to your liking: A monastery houses 100 monks who are not allowed to communicate with each other in any way. They meet only once per day, for...

There are certain alien beings in a room who are all identical. Each has exactly one hand with a certain number of fingers. (Of course, that number of fingers per hand is the same for all of the aliens, since they are identical.) There is more than one of those aliens in that room and each...

Seriously, do you still have all those emotions? How can you trade? With me, it is pretty obvious that the amount of emotion directly affects the profitability of my trades. I gave away $.38 on ISLE this morning before the market opened due to a typo. It took me the whole day to...

Since everyone seems to be too busy making fun of your question, I will try to show you the information I would be looking for if I were to ask a question like yours. If you go to http://www.pcquote.com/options/stringget.php?ticker=ibm&THEORETICALS=1&RANGE=999&SHOW=1&FIRSTMONTH=0&MONTHS=24...

I see. I have never been good at understanding jokes. I guess I just have a strange concept of fun...

Actually I have not read your journal. When I say there is nothing there, I mean The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings...

It is supposed to look like a web address, but of course, if you point your browser to it, you will find that there is nothing there: www.tradingwithtampa.com It's a "making up crap" thing that tampa's going through.

It's a little difficult to read your behind all that profanity, but I thought I'd at least look it up on the internet since I was not quite sure if I remembered the number 2041 correctly, so that I don't appear to fall (or feel? --- I'm not that good a speller) into that category of "assholes...

Boy howdy! The sad part is that people like you (whose genes would probably enable a child to live a happier than average life) might find a minor flaw or might not ever feel financially stable, therefore they might not have children, whereas the most worthless ones, who never even ask these...

I feel bad because the world is being made the shithole it has become, but that's just the way life is. I still see myself as more of a victim than a perpetrator: Millions of morons keep flooding the welfare system with offspring, and responsible people like myself have to pay for it. Do they...

I agree. The more monitors the better. The more computors the better. The more network bandwidth the better. But more importantly, it's not the quantity of monitors, not even the size of the monitors, it's resolution plus how you use what you have. (Unlike in other areas of the human...

I don't even have to show him my statements. He believes me when I tell him how much I have made. But he thinks it's just a fluke, that sooner or later every daytrader blows up and loses more than what he has ever made.
