@WowwGirl I get that they have definitely developed fighting styles integrated into their and national identity, and physical training in martial arts is particularly common in some countries, including Japan.
But I'm not sure what you mean by
They beat the game of roulette
?
This has been done many times by people analyzing specific physical wheels.
@SomeMichGuy you are right but not to the level they had it. It took me years just to count cards. They have pages of equations I don't know how it's done honestly.
@WowwGirl As I said, I'm not familiar with what "the Japanese" did...do you have a link?
It's likely they used a Bayesian analysis of a real wheel--seeding it with the "fair" probabilities--to update these to the actual probabilities of hitting each "pocket" (and thus understanding the actual probabilities for the various bets).
See already you know more theories than me. I'm a science girl. I respect people good at math because it's very difficult to me👍 I clawed my way through college you sound like you have excellence in math
@WowwGirl I have been multiply blessed, but one of the smartest things I did was to take calculus at the local junior college while in high school (when it wasn't free, back when the Earth was still cooling). It was a good move, because the 500-person courses at major / larger universities insert TAs between you and the professor and can do a worse job of educating.
So I tell anyone who might listen to take Calculus, Engineering Physics (follow on of Halliday & Resnick) w/lab, any Chemistry w/lab, and Psych 101, Econ 101, etc., at your local junior college.
@SomeMichGuy I have a degree in one of those believe it or not. Didn't have to take anything beyond temporary math and chemistry of medicine. Yes you're right I regret not taking more math now
