NotHowStatisticsWork

True; some mold is actually medicine. Therefore you only have 1/4 chance of dying.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

1/5, some are hallucinogens

[-] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago

Yeah? Then successfully explain how statistics work, smart guy. But I warn you, there’s a 50% chance you’ll fail.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

It's actually 50% because it either kills you or is doesn't. Those are the two options.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

You both sound correct. No idea who to trust, so I guess there's a 50:50 chance that it's 50% or that it's one in three.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Just as believing in a deity gives you a 50% chance of salvation.

Oh, you like math? Name all the numbers.
