googol duh or was that goggleplex

Gabagool. Final answer

I would win a megatron dollars on this show

>A number one followed by one hundred zeros is known by what name?
The leader of a small village.

What an easy final question

nice

aye

you only need to know
>megatron is a transformer
>a bit has to do with computers
>either a mole has to do with chemistry or nano = small

Is this really obscure knowledge?

>implying the average normalfag cares what a mole or a bit is

They might have cheated and that's bad but he didn't deserve the endless suffering that was wrought upon him and still lingers on his life

It would have been in the early 00s.

>A number one followed by
Brainlet here what does that even mean

A mole is an animal

10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Sneed

So they are asking what is it called when there is a one followed by one hundred zeroes? I can understand why they word these questions like that

1^100
1 with 100 zeros behind it
1 000 000 ... 000
Comprende?

A 1 followed by 100 zeroes is a googol.
A 1 followed by a googol zeroes is a googolplex.

Fun fact: There isn't enough matter in the universe to write out all the digits of a googolplex in base 10.

Fuck, i mean 1 x 10^100

STOP

>1^100
That'd be 1. It'd be 10^99

>Fun fact: There isn't enough matter in the universe to write out all the digits of a googolplex in base 10.
What

Riker

There's a difference between what the guy in OP did and him though. He memorised the board, that's their fault for making a shitty board.

I thought googol was 500 zeroes or something which is why I shrugged that one off at first.

I don't think most of the people in this thread even know who this guy is. He tried to cheat at Millionaire by having his wife in crowd cough once for A, cough twice for B, or some absolutely retarded strategy like that. Not sure how he thought he was going to get away with it.

I thought a googol was a 1 followed by as many zeros as the guy who came up with the number could write before his hand got tired

didn't he read the answers out loud and his friend and or wife would cough when he read the right one.

He'd say all four answers slowly, and her and a friend would cough when he said the right answer.

Yeah it's on par with card counting. Not technically illegal but if the casino finds out you're in deep fucking gabagool. I don't see how finding a manipulative fault in a game show should be punished, if anything they should be awarded their winnings for preventing others from taking advantage of it, and the person who designed the fucking format should be punished.

No it would 10^100, seeing as 10^1 has one 0, 10^2 has two 0s and so on

Is this Aussie dollaradoos? You guys are weird the question is worded strangely

Jesus that's even dumber than how I remembered it.

Is Who Wants To Be A Millionaire just a game of luck?

I mean, there's 33.34% chance of being right unless the person happen to know the answer, and lifelines can only get you so far into the game.

Let's say there are 15 questions with 4 choices each. Let's also say there are 3 lifelines: call-a-friend, 50-50, and ask-the-audience.

For each of the 15 questions, there is only 1 correct answer, and 3 incorrect answers, so immediately your chances are 1/3 = 33.34%. You can use each lifeline once. Using phone-a-friend, let's say gives you a 95% chance the person you call is correct. So 1 question is 95%. Similarly, we can say ask-the-audience gives you a 95% chance. Finally, 50-50 will remove 2 wrong answers, so you have 1 right answer and 1 wrong answer, so you basically know the answer. To recap:

Question 1: 33.34%
Question 2: 33.34%
Question 3: 33.34%
Question 4: 95%

If you think it's a 46% chance of winning you really don't understand statistics

Is it tenable?

It can be very difficult to grasp just how large a number 10^(10^100) actually is.

It's estimated that the total number of atoms in the observable universe is between 10^78 and 10^82.

Consider the following:
10^1 = ten
10^3 = a thousand
10^6 = a million
10^9 = a billion
10^12 = a trillion
10^15 = a quadrillion
10^18 = a quintillion
...
10^82 = one hundred thousand quadrillion vigintillion
10^100 = a googol
10^106 = a million googol
10^112 = a trillion googol
...
10^10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = a googolplex

Wow I think you're right

>A number one
>A

Should have called them swine and walked out.

If you have four choices and only one is correct, the chance is 1/4=25%

The chances are 1 in 4 (25%) you stupid dingbat.
>duh duh me preted be retard on purpos get y(ous) ;^)

what board? story?

Why didn't the friend just play?

>1 out of 4 is 33%
>summing and dividing
>ffs, just everything
9.5/10 bait, very irritating

jesus christ, seriously? how do you people not know this shit? how do you wash and dress yourselves? can children under the age of 18 just drink helium already?

>Total: 690.08%
>Divided by 15 questions = 46.00%

That's not how consecutive probabilities work you complete and utter retard.

Was he caught?

easy there grandpa, take your meds

This is an impressive post if you're trying to be funny.

It was on a show called Press Your Luck. Basically you pressed a button to stop on a money amount, out of select squares on a board. But there were also squares that made you lose your score. It was seemingly random, but actually had a pattern to it. He memorised the pattern and dominated.

>people still fall for this pasta

NO WHAMMIE NO WHAMMIE
youtube.com/watch?v=nyjLNt3EMTE

no absolutely not you have no fucking clue jesus christ i hope this is a troll

>1 hour and 21 fucking minutes
Thanks, but no thanks. I have a life to keep.

>he thinks we waste our time with stupid game shows
lmao if I wanted a game I would just pirate one.

Yes. It was a really obvious scheme.

>he things this is about "game shows"
I love when butthurt ignorant people make themselves look even more retarded by pouting and not getting it.

How far did he get before the SWAT arrived on him?

Show with a "random" prize board where you have to hit the button to make it stop and that amount is added to you winnings but there are spaces that make you lose everything. He memorized all the patterns and won a shit load of money.

I'm willing to bet you're like 16

>making money off people signing up for the show that cost them nothing?

Was it autism?

They mean 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

>implying 99% of Sup Forums knew how to calculate the probability of consecutive events.

pasta or not, 99% of you are borderline retarded.

I can barely do basic math, and I guarantee I'm smarter than you

How to spot a redditor

Not even if I use every pencil in the world?

You mean the people falling for the pasta?
I agree.

>smarter

So on top of failing at basic math you also have terrible verbal intelligence and you yet you exhibit unreasonably high self esteem. Color me shocked.

well that was an unfortunate typo, have at it

"shocked" isn't a colour

>and you yet you

retard

i'm smarter

>colour
>u
retard

They were convicted of more fraud later

>Mole. Vole is also rodent, but closer related to lemmink.

who the fuck is they? Pleddit? Good.

...

lmao that one block never turns into that cartoon shit

lmao what a shit show anyone with more than 2 braincells would have noticed that shit up

pathetic IMHO

Tenable is only good for the thicc milf asses that they get on every how & then.

you wouldn't have noticed anything quit lying

>Total: 690.08%
>Divided by 15 questions = 46.00%

never kek'd so much before

Best way to play

To do the actual math... assuming the person is not retarded the first 5 questions are EZ.

Lets assume you get to question 6... here is the math

3 of the next 5 questions you should know... 1 of the next 5 you can figure out and one will be a 50/50 with a vague idea of which choice is right.

The key to win it all is don't get conservative. Answer all 5 without your life lines and you have this % chance to make it though...

100/100 x 100/100 x 100/100 x 80/100 (logic used to find right answer... trust it) x 60/100 (using best guess between 2 reasonable answers but with a vague idea of which is right)

so assuming you are pretty smart and willing to gamble early a little there is a 48% chance you get to this point without using a single lifeline.

Best strat for next question...

64k - use ask the audience as this will be the last time it' useful. When you use it pick THE SECOND MOST POPULAR ANSWER. The reason you do that is the most popular will be the answer that sounds right on the surface for those who don't know. The next most popular will be the audience members who actually know the answer... about 30%

next are the 125K, 250K and 500K. You will probably only know one of these. The key here is to have a friend who knows the answer.

One one question use your 50/50 and you should be able to get it right. What you do is talk between 2 answers... one of which you know is NOT the answer for sure... the computer will "randomly" not eliminate that one... cause it never elements the ones the contestant are debating... Pick the correct answer.

Answer the 1 you know and have a good network of friends who know a bunch of random stuff. If you consider carefully who to call you should have a very good shot. Also 30 sec should be enough to cheat you'd think...

If you play smart you should be able to make the million dollar question. Either you know it or you don't.

I noticed before the cuck narrator even pointed it out lol

as soon as he said stop the second time I noticed the "pattern" (more like lack of pattern lmao)

shitshow for losers lol

>mmm i'm not sure chris
>it could be a *cough cough*... it could be b... or even c... perhaps it might be d...
>mmmmmm
>i think i'm sure but i'm not sure
>i'm leaning on a...*cough*... but b... and c.... or even d could be correct
>just to be clear i'm going to go with a *cough*
>ok a *cough* is my final answer

jesus christ. seriously nolan??

every base is base 10

is this an aussie version? i have never heard of this scandal. we usually incarcerate our felons instead of populating an entire continent with them

Sure you did.

it was easy as shit lol

what are you retarded lmao

I thought the numale on the left noticed the pattern too but I guess he was retarded lol

how did it take so long for people to notice this shite lmao

We all can notice the pattern of you lying too

lmao why you so mad kek

is it cuz your autistic or some shit lol

the pattern is easy as shit to notice come on now

Or maybe we're not yank cunts?

I learned about moles in high school. This question is so dated though, Google is super well known as a word now because of the search engine and a gigabit probably would have been obscure back then too

you must be the autist with your incredible pattern recognition skills

>Michael left the money all over the house
is he retarded, guises?

No, he wasn't caught. He got away with it, and only a small select subcommunity knows about his clever ruse.

Googleplex is a number with a googol zeroes

>all of these brainlets getting flustered
that was a good laugh m8
have a (you)

just watched this whole thing.
that's not cheating, that's just fucking impressive

The other poster's comparison is valid. It's basically like card counting. You're using your talents to win.

>not a single mention of game show kino
