  2. Premature atrial contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_atrial_contraction

    In some people, PACs occur in a predictable pattern. Two PACs in a row are called doublets and three PACs in a row are triplets. Depending whether there are one, two, or three normal (sinus) beats between each PACs, the rhythm is called atrial bigeminy, trigeminy, or quadrigeminy.

  3. Fibonacci nim - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_nim

    Visual representation of the Zeckendorf representations of each number (a row of the image) as a sum of Fibonacci numbers (the widths of rectangles intersecting that row). An optimal strategy in Fibonacci nim removes the smallest rectangle in the row for the current pile of coins, leaving a pile described by the remaining rectangles from that row.

  4. Balance puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_puzzle

    1) Subdivide the coins in to 2 groups of 4 coins and a third group with the remaining 5 coins. 2) Test 1, Test the 2 groups of 4 coins against each other: a. If the coins balance, the odd coin is in the population of 5 and proceed to test 2a. b. The odd coin is among the population of 8 coins, proceed in the same way as in the 12 coins problem.

  5. Nim - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nim

    Nim is a mathematical game of strategy in which two players take turns removing (or "nimming") objects from distinct heaps or piles. On each turn, a player must remove at least one object, and may remove any number of objects provided they all come from the same heap or pile.

  6. Coin problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_problem

    Multiple points on a line imply multiple possible combinations (blue). Only lines with n = 1 or 3 have no points (red). In mathematics , the coin problem (also referred to as the Frobenius coin problem or Frobenius problem , after the mathematician Ferdinand Frobenius ) is a mathematical problem that asks for the largest monetary amount that ...

  7. Coins in a fountain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coins_in_a_fountain

    Coins in a fountain is a problem in combinatorial mathematics that involves a generating function.In this problem, a fountain is an arrangement of non-overlapping unit circles into horizontal rows in the plane so that consecutive circles in the bottom row are tangent to each other, and such that each circle in a higher row is tangent to two coins from the next row below it.

  8. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Packing different rectangles in a rectangle: The problem of packing multiple rectangles of varying widths and heights in an enclosing rectangle of minimum area (but with no boundaries on the enclosing rectangle's width or height) has an important application in combining images into a single larger image. A web page that loads a single larger ...

    A collection of events is said to be mutually independent if for any subset of the collection, the joint probability of all events occurring is equal to the product of the joint probabilities of the individual events. Think of the result of a series of coin-flips. This is a stronger condition than pairwise independence.
