Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, but 13 is still a dummy, right? So I was wasn't quite completely and totally wrong before. Just mostly. But I learned things, yay.
I'm not 100% sure what a dummy is in this context, but if I'm reading it right, I don't think so. If, say, the 29-voter votes against, and the other two vote for, then whether the measure passes depends on how the 13-voter votes. But I may be misreading what the dummy is.
Or, IOW, what vw said. I think.
OMG! Are they completely gorgeous?
But I may be misreading what the dummy is.
You've got that down. A dummy is one who's vote doesn't matter.
I'm just not sure, it's surreal.
Oh, dur, yes, 'cause it's 71. I think I was still stuck on 58. Yeesh.
Would you believe that's one of the easier ones? I've still got 6 more problems to go.
You can ask us another one, and if you get the same answer I do, you'll know it's wrong.
I have a math question. What is 6% of 19.065?
and if you get the same answer I do, you'll know it's wrong.
Bwah!
Nah...these aren't so bad. They just take a lot of working out. I have to use the Shapley-Shubik Power Index and the Banzhaf Power Index. Both are different types of ratios, and you have to write out most of the permutations of the votes. It's a wee bit crazy.
Robin, it's 1.1439
