Allowing myself now to embrace my Inner Obsessive, I wonder if a goat should be a 'u' or a 'q'. I would have thought the latter. |

I just laughed out loud in real life. E.
Also, I think q is more appropriate. q tends to be more insulting. |

Today's haiku (see two comics previous for why):
Let's Make a Deal:
Probability is hard.
The RNG is harder.

Only rating it good because Monty Hall would have shown you what you lost, too......I think there was another goat behind the other .

Either ' or (, most likely. Maybe , or #.
But I think that, rather than a car, he would have gotten a warhorse.
Also, I hate the Monty Hall problem. |

I meant to have \ as one of those symbol suggestions. I forgot you have to escape it with another \. |

Nice to see some mathematics! Very cleverly done.
Maybe the other had the "oYendor behind it?
E for Elementary probability theory. |

I don't care what people say about probability, but you have a 50% chance to do or win anything. Let me explain why: You either do or you don't. Just because don't happens more often doesn't mean it's more likely to happen. |
