Evolution Goes (Retro)Viral

Bonus, if I had the answer I might be able to reverse engineer it.

Each flip is 1 in 2 chances of coming up heads.

Five flips would be 1 in 2 five times, or 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2.

1 x 2⁵ = 32

Occam, I have a question:

What are the chances of rolling a Yahtzee, if you roll each of the five die separately?

I say it is 1 x 6⁴ since the first number on the first roll can be anything.

The other four die just have to match it.

Dunno

I don't even know what a 'Yahtzee' is.

I'm gonna guess that it's a recently discovered Amazonian tribe who revere their gods by rolling on the ground, in groups of five, in front of their idol. I'm not sure what causes them to die separately.

Have a nice day.

Correct

1 in 32

OB

Hmm I went 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32
but figured that was too obvious so there
must be a trick, and outsmarted myself.

I didn't read the book, but I admit, I don't believe that at all.

76 years under media propaganda?

C'mon.

And if it was just media propaganda, why the rigged vote?

Why did the IAU have to violate its own bylaws to get Pluto classified where it belongs?

Is media propaganda that powerful?

As long ago as 1955, the British astronomer Patrick Moore wrote in Guide to the Planets, 'Altogether, Pluto is a peculiar body. It is utterly unlike the rest of the outer planets, and it has even been suggested that it is not really a "major planet" at all'. It took 51 years before the IAU agreed with him.

How do you know the IAU agreed with him?

They rigged a vote by not allowing their planetary astronomers to vote.

Here's a thread I made many moons ago: PLUTO

Your allegorically metaphorical argument is far too clever for silly me to understand.

Try explaining in plain English.

God did it.
