DeadBankerDream 12/07/20 4:46:41 AM #4:	How is the chance of him guessing one of the cards in the envelope correct 1 in 5 if there are 5 cards in total and there are two cards in the envelope? Shouldn't it be 2 in 5 then? Or maybe somewhere in between. I know percentage calculation isn't as straight forward as it would seem. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" <cite>DeadBankerDream posted [p:948011914] in ok how did...

Shouldn't it be 2 in 5 then? he was definitely a little sloppy with his wordings, setting up the statistics. but the statistics weren't really relevant to the demonstration, beyond being "unlikely by random chance" but yeah, guessing "front" or "back" correctly are 1 in 5, guessing "in envelope" correctly is 2 in 5, guessing "both in envelope" is 1 in 10, and guessing "front and back" is 1 in 20. --- Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now! In recognition of your overwhelming victory, let's call it a draw. <cite>Medussa posted [p:948011954] in ok how did...

He definitely didn't get the orientation right at the end though that's why he dropped and flipped the cards lol --- https://imgur.com/x04tPRZ https://imgur.com/t7T392I <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:948011974] in ok how did...

Medussa 12/07/20 4:54:18 AM #7:	anyway, my best guess is he can feel a mark or size difference through the envelope, but that seems like something that would have been guessed and rejected. of course, him being him, i could see him "rejecting" the right answer, too. --- Boom!

Strider102 12/07/20 4:57:46 AM #8:	He had a hidden camera under that guys seat and could see the cards from a monitor on the podium. That's why he lingered there while the guy in that seat was shuffling the cards and putting the two in the envelope. --- Last Cloudia ID: 188850453 <cite>Strider102 posted [p:948012065] in ok how did...
