Er deal or no deal? That to me is a show starring A beardy weirdy called Noel Edmond’s that encourages fools to think that they can get away without evaluating probability, and those that do will either take the spoils or fall to bad luck.
That said anyone who likes that show is likely to be a fool. Like those who play the lottery, you might win 1 in 14 million times, and you might be in it to win it. But at the end of the day it will take ~50,000 years buying one ticket a week to stand a 50% chance on average. Good God, it’s not a bad thing but those who spend £50 a week or more are just throwing money into a bottomless pit, most of the time.
I like the show, but you said, “Likely to be a fool,” so that does not necessarily apply to me. I like doing the Math on it and figuring out what the people should do, whether the banker made a good offer. The offer is usually something around the mean value of the cases less 12-24% in the later stages of the game. That’s how it seems to work. Of course, if they only have one good case left, it is closer to that 24%.
I don’t know anything about Noel Edmond. Our version is hosted by Howie Mandel.
Over here if you watch Deal or no Deal you are either unemployed or you should get a bloody job and stop sponging off the state you work shy student.
Also people who watch Deal are considered lower than Neanderthals on the scale or likely to watch Big Brother. That said I can see why it has an appeal to maths bods.
Chef is basically French for ‘head of the kitchen.’ He may or may not doing any cooking. You can always tell the chef at a glance- he’s the one who’s chef whites are never dirty.
but it sucks when everyone within earshot has to comment on it, the wankers
