Some people use horoscopes or magic balls or dice to decide on something they don’t want to decide themselves. I have been relying on "probability" in the sense of using the first picker wheel google has suggested. For years.
Today I used my spider-tingling autistic pattern recognition curse talent to decide on something very scary and important. The default set of outcomes is 4 on this website, look what happens:
See the pattern? If we started on the specific field in the even cases, we land on exactly the same cases.
I tired the odd numbers, the opposite happens - start with no, end on yes and vice versa.
To sort-of quote my new favourite mini-series "The Other Bennet" on BBC: happiness is in our own hands.
I do have a funny feeling some evil rules of combinatorics are at play, but this is not my part of math, I am more of an Analysis girlie, so the mystery remains mysterious.
