     @vriska the fun shit are problems like simplex where it was literally some bored army mathematician just doodling on his desk and just casually designing the enabling technology for all linear solving machines :cat_sad:

     @vriska veridical proofs also make mes as angry as everyone else, but they are called that because if you run a computer simulation they still come out that way even though it makes no goddamn sense to anyone that it does

     @icedquinn in the game show example you're still only making a 1 in 2 choice both times because you will never pick the goat door based on the way the problem is worded

     @anemone yeah thats what I always try to explain to people whenever I talk about this, the wording and framing sucks. the game show example makes it so that you're basically picking 50/50 both times

     @vriska@lizards.live i read the wiki on it ages ago and iirc the actual (as in smart rather than math nerd) answer is that it's poorly worded so it depends on what you infer about the situatioin

     @vriska@lizards.live this is a common answer to math problems since math nerds are horrible at communication in general
