Okay, GPT4 said there a just 189 non-overlapping 50km bands (horizontal, vertical, and diagnoal) in Europe and then continued to calculate the chance to land those 7 points in any of the 189 bands and gave a result in the order of 10^-12.
- robertlagrant 2y agoBut diagonal at what angle? :) I think if you set the probability of the first one at 1, then the rest works perfectly at any angle of band. I could be wrong, but intuitively that seems correct.
- jimktrains2 2y agoYou could have two points in 2 of your non overlapping bands that are less than a band's width apart. Also, the probability of the first 2 points will always be 100% because they define the line. Also, it's not 7 random points, it's 7 of thousands of random points.
- randomtoast 2y agoAlright, I suppose it's not as simple to formulate the question accurately and correctly.
- robertlagrant 2y ago> Also, it's not 7 random points, it's 7 of thousands of random points. Ah - I missed this one.
