That's fine. I like to test the limits of sanity, but, in a structured way that I can keep up with. You have to pace yourself. Not so serious as with the English/math forums, where more than a handful of people toil away, day after day, for very little other than points to toil more efficiently, and a pat on the back from each other. Stuff that won't matter longer than the hour, or two, as headlines in more forums that shall, as surely as this one, fall by the wayside before many of those guys die off. If you want thus meaning in life, then you have to do the actual writing, or mathematical research. Talking about contests, university homework, or, nuances in stuff from hundreds of years ago, isn't going to cut it.

Overall, nothing good can come of gambling. You won't find a psychiatrist, let alone real, practicing mathematician, to endorse it for whichever purpose. The Greek mathematicians, who surely knew all about it, totally avoided mention of it, in the literature. Yeah, sure, a lot of people claim that probability and statistics came of dice games. But, no, the science, and philosophy, of that has nothing to do with casino games. However, people still try to relate the richness of the former to the poverty of the latter, to try to gain a gambling edge.

It's enough for me, say, to get a kick out of the cute pictures that Max puts up, and, the hidden details that Finkle points out. There isn't any best/worst to it. Then, again, Seedvalue is just plain nuts.
