If there was a button that would give you $1,000 each time you push it with a 1% chance of dying

[Ghost Utmost]

You wrote all that and still wrong...


the question is direct - would you hit a button that gave you $1,000 but you had a 1% chance of dying


Meaning that every time you hit it, its a 1% chance.. you could be extremely lucky and hit it a million times and win every time, or someone not that lucky could die on the first try..

i cant believe this needs to be explained

Why would you even say that there was a 1% chance unless it hit on average every 100 times?

If it was POSSIBLE to press it

A million times

And win each time, then it would be incorrect to call that a 1% chance. Just simply because you've proven it's more like a thousandth of a percent chance

And yes. You can lose on the first pull if you truly had a 1% chance to lose. It's just unlikely.

So smug too. What you wrote was completely wrong and I hope you can now understand why

Double

If you willing to put your life on the line for 1,000 dollars you should prolly just off yourself now.

You are using the premise that the marbles are being pulled out each time and increasing probability of pulling the orange marble.

OP needs to clarify if that's the case or if the probably is constant. (1% each try)

Let's focus

Y'all are caught up on a computerized mechanism

Fine. But that computer is malfunctioning if it doesn't hit on average 1 out of 100 times.

That is the definition of a 1% chance

And there's no clearer way to demonstrate that than with physical marbles. The right computer program would match the performance of the box of marbles

So it doesn't matter how RNG works. RNG has a hard time with the R doesn't it? They have developed plenty of "random" that wasn't really random. Like old CD players random function. Sucked

mafukka how you gonna try to change the original poster question to fit your narrative


You Done changed a very simple question into marbles, computer algorithms and shyt man what

The most you could possibly get is $99K before certain death

yall nikkas dumb as hell

 

[dezert_storm]

The most you could possibly get is $99K before certain death

And you everything after $50K is more likely than not to kill your ass

You gotta be the brokest, least responsible person to entertain something like this

One million per press is probably a better set up. At least then you're risking it all for something that can change the lives of those you leave behind

Each button press would be $1,000 dollars or a 1% chance of death. Theoretically you could just keep pressing the button infinitely if you got lucky enough to never have landed the death draw.

My finger is on the button pressin that joint a hunnit times

No this isn’t true.

One percent chance

The words contain everything you need to know

Me explaining it to you is just cause you're defining it wrong. But for those that understand the phrase

One percent chance

They understand that that literally means one hit out of 100 attempts.. on average.

This thread could be a unintentional classic lmao

People have a really have hard time admitting to online strangers when they're wrong about shyt

a quarter has a 50% chance of hitting heads

you can flip a quarter 4 times or for infinity and get tails only.. a percentage chance is not the same as an exact percentage to measure a limited quantity.
the chance resets everytime you repeat the action

why is this hard for you to understand

Think of it like a lottery game breh. Let’s say a particular scratch off game has a 1 in 3 chance of winning any cash prize. Just because you buy 3 of the games doesn’t mean you’ll win any of them because each individual ticket has the 1 in 3 odds. Just like the button here. Each individual press of the button has a 1% chance of death. You could only press it once and get it or you could press it 1,000 times and never die.

Get a quarter

Flip it

Do it for real.

Keep doing it until something BESIDES half heads and half tails happens.

Let's say do it 100 times and post your results
