Littlewood’s law of miracles states that in the course of any normal person’s life, miracles happen at a rate of roughly one per month. The proof of the law is simple. During the time that we are awake and actively engaged in living our lives, roughly for 8 hours each day, we see and hear things happening at a rate of about one per second.
Suppose East is known to have 7 spades from the bidding and after seeing dummy you deduce West to hold 2 spades; then if your two lines of play are to hope either for diamonds 5-3 or clubs 4-2, the a priori probabilities are 47% and 48% respectively but (,,,) % and (,,,) % so now the club line is significantly better than the diamond line.
The odds algorithm computes the optimal strategy and the optimal win probability at the same time. Also, the number of operations of the odds algorithm is (sub)linear in n. Hence no quicker algorithm can possibly exist for all sequences, so that the odds algorithm is, at the same time, optimal as an algorithm.

A 9-month-old's world - and emotions ... Watch baby slowly go from happy to emotional seeing the world clearly for the first time. Ronnie Li, USA TODAY. December 11, 2024 at 6:04 AM.
1 - ((75/216) × 2 + (15/216) × 4 + (1/216) × 6) = 0% Commercially organised gambling games almost always have a house advantage which acts as a fee for the privilege of being allowed to play the game, [ 2 ] : 55 so the last scenario would represent a payout system used for a home game, where players take turns being the role of banker/casino.
Trisomy 18 typically results in life-threatening complications for a baby, but one little girl, Georgia, is proof of how one can live with it.
Graphs of probability P of not observing independent events each of probability p after n Bernoulli trials vs np for various p.Three examples are shown: Blue curve: Throwing a 6-sided die 6 times gives a 33.5% chance that 6 (or any other given number) never turns up; it can be observed that as n increases, the probability of a 1/n-chance event never appearing after n tries rapidly converges to 0.
