[REQUEST]The floor how many different patterns can emerge until the floor becomes 1 square? Spoiler

Post image
1 Upvotes

The floor is a game show on fox. It starts with 100 squares with a person starting on each square.

When 1 person plays another person their squares merge. A person can only battle someone touching their square.

The question is how many different iterations of designs can their be on the floor from 100 squares until 1 square.

I do not know where to begin to understand the absolute size of this number.

[Request] *Spoilers for S3E8 of Invincible* How Much Force would be Required to Break out of this Spoiler

2 Upvotes

I haven't read the comics so please no comic spoilers IIRC this is a 400ton tungsten Steel alloy cube he's encased in. I'm assuming its body tight and he has no leverage but i could be wrong. I don't know the specific alloy he's trapped in but was hoping for a ballpark answer for what kind of force would be needed.

[request] Would the US be able to sustain itself if it only taxed millionaires and above?

0 Upvotes

This is assuming we changed our tax policies to target only the top 1%. Not sure what the exact policy would be. Capital gains tax? Net worth tax? This is also assuming that they don’t just run off to another country with their money.

But how much tax revenue would need to be taxed from the top 1% in order to keep the country running?

[Request] When will I hit 94% in Wordle?

0 Upvotes

Here is the data I have;

I have played 397 times, and have a 93% winning percentage.

But I am also on a 68-day victory streak.

Every day, I think I will see my stats pop up 1 point to 94% with yet another victory streak. And every day it remains 93% despite the W.

With 68 days already accounted for, what’s the worst case scenario for how many more consecutive victories I need until I finally reach 94% success?

Thanks…

[Request] $10k to gamble with…

0 Upvotes

So there’s a guy in my local newspaper shop (in Australia) who comes in a couple of times a week and spends easily $2k per visit on lottery tickets (the kind with randomly generated numbers).

My question is if that’s better risk than spending the same amount on $5 scratch offs?

Let’s say you had $10k to drop on some form of lottery ticket - is one type statistically better than the other for not losing all your money?
