i mean, what are the odds!?

[hanek45]

i just feel I've got to share this with everyone I can... :corn:





hmm.. so it's 1AM. I'm in my room playing poker with myself... (practicing if i could calculate odds and stuff).

I was about to place the community cards (first 3 cards), but before I did, I said to myself that the first one would be a 3... and so it was. Since I got the first one right, I figured i could get the 2nd one right, and I did (i can't remeber what I drew)...

I got a bit exited and tried to predict what was coming, but I failed 3 times in a row....

But then I said to myself that I needed some concentration. So I mixed out the cards and placed them all on my bed. I swear to god i spent like 6 minutes concentrating (sp?).

I don't wanna get this long... The thing is that I predicted what was I was going to draw. 5 times in a row! I mean... Is this even possible? what are the odds?

Buy a lotto ticket. Now!

If it's the first 5 cards, and you're not re-shuffling them into the deck every time, about once in 300 million I think.

 

[PSVFOREVER]

It depends on with which side up you placed them on your bed.

 

[night]

It also depends on how drunk you were..

As anecdotes go this one was weak, I was expecting alot more. Something along the lines of "What are the odds that they were BOTH under 16!?"

5 times in a row! I mean... Is this even possible? what are the odds?

Assuming a standard deck of 52 cards, the odds of that are 1 in 311,875,200.

In other words, I don't believe you.

So naive.

5 times in a row? Derren Brown can do it infinite times in a row.

"She looked older at the time!!!"

Was that from League of Gentlemen? Something like that.

Well, I had another revelation last night.

I rented this movie called, What the Bleep (part 1: Down the rabbit hole). It's about quatum (sp?) physcis, perception/realities, interconnectivity and intention (literally). .

I can't repeat how this works in the scientific way (has to do sub-atomic stuff), but it proves that what I did (the 5 cards in a row thingy) can be easily done

they show this wicked experiment of how H20 crystals mutate/change when exposed to good/bad thoughts. (This is hard to describe as you would have to see the crystals to understand what I mean)... Thing is... they then relate intention/positive thoughts to ourselves as we are made out of water (90%)

So my guess is that I managed to reach an abosolute level of awareness and conscienceness and reach such a 'level' that I was able to change my circumstances (the cards) through my thoughts. (its not like I was able to change a 6 to the 3 I wanted, but 'connect' with the card)

hahah, what ever... It's hard to explain. I'd have to see the movie again and you people would have to see it too so that we could understand each other

Right. I think the lesson to be learned here is that Nicaraguan ganja may be a lot more potent than was previously believed.

 

[Mandieta6]

Right... you connected with the cards? The heart of the cards? And you pulled out the strongest one in your deck? Yu-Gi-Oh!!!
