Taming of the Shoes

[Ancient Colin]

Oops, nearly forgot. A zero research boot.

A new take on odds or evens (for our purposes, zero counts as even).

(a) Oxford shots - odd or even?
(b) Oxford goals - odd or even?
(c) Oxford possession - odd or even?
(d) Time of first substitution - odd or even? [subs in additional time in first half count as 45]
(e) Total corners in match - odd or even?

TB1: if the probability of odd = probability of even and events are independent, if you guess randomly, what is the probability of getting exactly three correct?
Precise answers only.

TB2: Time of first goal, if equidistant, earlier predicted time wins.

[Radley Rambler]

1. odd
2. Even
3. Odd
4. Even
5. Odd

TB1 - Given that there is a spelling mistake in Q (c) thus potentially rendering that question invalid, I declare as Bootmeister that TB1 is invalid due to high chance of confusion for players.

TB2 - 27 minutes.

[Ancient Colin]

As Boot setter, I declare your first answer invalid due to the lack of capitalisation.

The Rosencrantz and Guildernstern bid

1. Even
2. Even
3. Even
4. Even
5. Even

TB1: (for the record) 0.3125

TB2: 36

[Geoff]

(a) Odd.
(b) Even.
(c) Odd.
(d) Even.
(e) Odd.

TB1: (? 0.125 ?) ((Haven't got a clue!))

TB2: 33rd minute.

[Ancient Colin]

If the probability of even is the same as the probability of odd, then the probability of all five being even is 0.03125
8 shots, 2 goals, 54% possession, 68th minute substitution ... 8 corners.

Geoff and Radley 2pt
AColi 5pt and nearest (if not very near) on TB2 - and with the correct answer to TB1: it's a binomial expansion N! / (r! (N-r)!) p^r (1-p)^(N-r)

I guess I'll set another one then and hope we have a few more entries. We're reaching the flogging a dead horse zone again, aren't we?
