      Re: The Logic Puzzles Topic

      I was afraid of that. I cracked open my math books and read up on probability. I found the error in my logic and here is what I got.

      there are 365 to the power of the number of members possible combinations. Of those there are 365*364*363*...*(365- 1 less than the number of members) combinations that don't have anymatching birhdays. Therfore the plugging in the formula for different values I eventually got

      Edit: Edit:I fixed a typo where I wrote *364 twice.
      Edit: It seems obvious given the context, but I guess I should note this formula won't work if there are only one member.

      [365^23-(365*364*363*...*343)]/365^23=.507 or 50.7% with 23 people.

      Hope that's right.

        You're a pretty fart smeller.

        You are, too.

        *chalks another point up for alto*

        So what's still left to collectively solve at the moment:
        -2 eyeball mazes
        -the planet math problem
        -the domino puzzle
        -Pavilion adventures

        I can't believe how fast some of you are getting these.

            And if anyone wants to give it a try, it's been posted.

            Edit: Smurf Taco sent me a solution that's pending. I sent it over to Garr.

                Sent. If anyone else wants to see the solution for any of these, let me know.
                Also, I just put up some more puzzles as well as a new set of mazes for you to chew on.

                Damn 3 image limit is making me put some of these old puzzles as links, though.
