So what's the answer to the poser at post 789? Is it the really obvious:

a) there are two counters that have black on one side, so it's a 50/50 chance as to which one you've picked. Therefore black and white are both equally likely to be the hidden colour.

Or is it the slightly less obvious (and probably the one I'd go for):

b) there are three ways you could be looking at a black side - by choosing the double-sided black counter and putting it down either way up, or by picking the black and white counter and placing it black side up. The first two of these will give black as the hidden colour and the third will give white, so black is twice as likely as white to be the hidden colour.

Two to one on that your original choice was a 'double' ie white/white or black/black. ergo two to one that 'down' side is same colour as visible side.

I think you meant to conclude 'Ergo two to one on that hidden side is same colour as visible side.'

I've just heard that my friend in Australia has been committed to a mental institution. Apparently he bought a new boomerang and went crazy trying to throw the old one away.

Little Bruce and Jenny are only 10 years old,
but they know they are in love.

One day they decide that they want to get married,
so Bruce goes to Jenny's father to ask him for her hand.

Bruce bravely walks up to him and says,
"Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are in love and I want to ask you for her hand in marriage."

Thinking that this was just the cutest thing,
Mr. Smith replies, "Well Bruce, you are only 10..
Where will you two live?"

Without even taking a moment to think about it,
Bruce replies, "InJenny's room. It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely."

Still thinking this is just adorable, Mr. Smith says with a huge grin, "Okay, then how will you live?
You're not old enough to get a job.
You'll need to support Jenny."

Again, Bruce instantly replies, "Our allowance,
Jenny makes five pounds a week
and I make 10 pounds a week.
That's about 60 pounds a month, so that should do us just fine."

Mr. Smith is impressed Bruce has put so much thought into this.

"Well Bruce,it seems like you have everything figured out.
I just have one more question.
What will you do if the two of you should have
little children of your own?"

Bruce just shrugs his shoulders and says,
"Well, we've been lucky so far."

Mr. Smith no longer thinks the little shit is adorable.

I suffer from CDO. It's like OCD only in alphabetical order, as it should be.

Ican't understand some women.
I gave my girlfriend a great orgasm the other day.










And she only went and spat it out!

my friend was looking very tired last night.

he married a schoolteacher & she made him do it again & again - until he got it right.

I went to the doctor while I was on holiday in Bangkok recently, to get my testicles checked out.
While the doc was cupping my dangly bits, she
said, "Don't worry, it's normal to get an erection during this kind of examination.'' I said, "I haven't got an erection!"


She replied, "No, but I have!"

America's policy of shooting first and asking questions later has always been their downfall. Just think how useful King Kong could have been on 11 September.
