Things Not to Admit in Public: #5793

SAD:
Walking out side and thinking "Hey! It's my Lucky Day! Out of 10 floors, the elevator is on mine, YIPPEE!"

SADDER:
Thinking, "What are the chances of that? Lessee 4th floor...that's 50%!" only to immediately realize what a dumbass you are, and more importantly, that you are the Math SPECIALIST at your school.

SADDEST:
Thinking about it all the way on your errands so you won't be distracted from blogging about it when you get home.

Haha, well, it depends on how you're looking at it.

You have 50% chance that the elevator will be there when you want it, and 50% that it won't be there.

However, there is also a 10% chance that the elevator is on a given floor.

Okay, now i'm done with math. It's too early. And had I known you were a math pro, I would have asked you to write my papers, one being on how teachers use money to teach number sense, and the other on cross cultural perceptions of achievement (for which we used an int'l study on math skills for our example). But now, I know. And you will be writing my paper for me! Yippee!
