   Well, not sure it was a complaint, I was just lightheartedly commenting that it was a bit redundant, but ok, umbrage seems a reasonable response. And yeah, that's pretty much the point of eliding bits of text, to put things together th

   I said the clause was an unnecessary inclusion, the ellipses are there specifically to highlight that. The rest of the article is about the cyclicity of the digit.

   Hahaha, I like how they include: "If it is multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, the answer will be ... 2/7, 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, or 6/7 respectively." Was it surprising to multiply 1/7 by two and get 2/7? H

   In Germany, for every full time employed researcher at universities, there are 2 full time administrators... And the researchers still do all their own paperwork for grants, travel, etc.

   I don't agree with how you frame the academics as the bad guys. I do agree the system is FUBAR. There is a tremendous failure on the behalf of universities in the way they hire academics and how they treat them. Universities preferenti

   I was wrong. My initial approach appears to be the ninja approach like sampo said above. I got 50% -_- import numpy as np import random as rnd import math as m chords = [] samp = 10000 for c in range(samp):

   It would assign a probability approaching zero as the plane approached infinity, yeah, I agree. But I think I have a way around that.

   I don't think so, like say you had a point outside the circle, and from that point you equally selected angles to slice the space in. You would get systematically longer slices than if all your slices are cut parallel to each other (an

    I don't agree with any of these solutions. In my opinion the circle should be positioned in an infinite plane, then random vectors should be drawn on the plane and ignored unless they intersect the circle. Then after making some large
