  • Packers versus Bears Math problem



    Via PFT and Deadspin

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      So Mr. Tillman thinks that his celebrity status gives him the ability to dictate what the teacher teaches? Did I get that right?
      No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

        Poor Charles Tillman, he gets elected to one pro bowl and all of a sudden he thinks he's an "all pro corner." And that's a tricky question cuz it cannot be answered as stated. The answer is either 20% (if "winning each game" means winning all four of them) or just under 60% (if "each" refers to any specific game).

          Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

            The probability the Bears win all 4 games is 1/625 (1/5 * 1/5 * 1/5 * 1/5)

            The probability the Bears win at least one game 4/5 (1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5)

              If that were true then the chances of them winning one of six games would be greater than 100%!

              Real probability is 100% - 0.84%

                  The math teacher missed a comma in the problem, too.

                  But really, ya gotta like Tillman's response.

                    You're right. I must be slipping. Either that or I've had a glass of wine and just don't care. You choose which it is.

                      I love the Geaux Bears even more. Schizophrenia?

                          Packers are 29-16 vs. the Bears since the 1990s. My math-addled brain interprets that as a 75% probability the Pack will beat the Bears in any game.

                              Maybe this is why Tillman is pissed. If your kids teacher screws up they should be held accountable
