You know ah. I was wondering what my CAP would be if i got

4A- and 2A

CAP = 4.48

So in order to climb into the rungs of high geek society and establish yourself as one of the few local contenders going up against the throng of foreigners invading your precious first classes,

I need 3A and 3A-

Wait a minute. How's that possible, when your maths tutorial today saw a sample size of 6 PRCs, 1 Indonesian and 3 Singaporeans?

Maybe I should consider getting Chinese citizenship. maybe that might help.

P(you win once)=P(win first, lose the next n-1 trials)+P(lose first,win second, lose the rest)+...+P(lose first n-1 trials, win last)=[1/n]*[(n-1)/n]^(n-1) + [1/n]*[(n-1)/n]^(n-1) +...+[1/n]*[(n-1)/n]^(n-1) (n times) = n* [1/n]*[(n-1)/n]^(n-1)=[(n-1)/n]^(n-1)

the flaw w this argument is dat u must haf infinite capital

that's what happens when you have a maths gf. kana whooooped! hahahaa

Skewed Distribution

I was in the Science Library on a Friday night. yeah no shit. busy mugging the living shit out of game theory.

the even more amusing thing was that, when i reached the sixth level of the library, out of the 12 or so people who were there at that unearthly hour, half of them were RI guys from my year. 4 doctors, 1 mathematician, 1 economist. what a posse.

oh i was watching deal or no deal at michelle's house yesterday. then there was a sms contest where you guess the box that has $1000 and something lame struck me.

Suppose there are N smses that have been submitted, including that one vote that you might have submitted.

P(you win $1000) = 1/N (duh....)

Now, if you decide to call in and sms "X" more number of times.

P(you win $1000) = (1+X)/(N+X)

as n --> infinity,

P(you win $1000) = [(1/X) + 1]/[(N/X) + 1] = 1

yay!

sorry, trying to act all intellectual.
all for nothing.

oh yah, with regards to the previous NASH (rearrange and u get HANS) EQUILIBRIUM question,

apparently, what's said in the movie isn't the sodding NASH EQUILIBRIUM.
in that situation, just go straight for the blonde. you're bound to win. lol.

MA4264

In the movie, "A Beautiful Mind," John Nash gets the idea for Nash equilibrium
in a student hangout where he is sitting with three buddies. Five women walk in,
four brunettes and a stunning blonde. Each of the four buddies starts forward to
introduce himself to the blonde. Nash stops them, though, saying, "If we all go
for the blonde, we will all be rejected and none of the brunettes will talk to us
afterwards because they will be offended. So let's go for the brunettes." The next
thing we see is the four buddies dancing with the four brunettes and the blonde
standing alone, looking unhappy.

Assume that if more than one buddy goes after a single woman, they will all be
rejected by the woman and end up alone. The payouts are as follows.
Ending up with the blonde has a payout of 4, ending up with a brunette has a payout of 1, and
ending up alone is 0. The four buddies are players in this noncooperative game.

(i) Is the result in the story a Nash equilibrium?

(ii) Find all pure-strategy Nash equilibria for this game.

(iii) Are the Nash equilibria you found better than what Nash suggested?


Lol. Maths for you.

Sale

Sale

The simple delusion of a good being cheaper than it's intended price, inducing an instant dose of euphoria and gratification meant to deceive and entice, while drawing forth the consumer closer to his economic demise by parting with his cash, when in actual fact, the magical four letter word has done its one and only purpose in misleading the rational consumer into purchasing a good actually meant to be sold originally at the actual sale price.

So the next time something's on sale... Think again. You might just be a subject of illusionary price deflation.

Hmmm, maybe I should go find some optimization algorithm on the optimal point of deception.



And put my algorithm up for sale at a discounted price. lol.

work work. $$$.

Work Work

I'm doing 6 modules, but all in all, I really have this feeling that I'm only doing 3.

Network Optimzation
Alg Graph Theory
Management Science

= 1.5 Module

Mathematical Game Theory
Game Theory and Strategic Anaylsis

= 1.5 Module

Introduction To Statistics

= I already covered it in all my H2 Tuitions lol

cool. i like.

back to school

I'm back from America.
Seeing the state of conditions, the people, the culture, sometimes, i can't help but feel that they were asking for 4 planes to be shoved right up their sodding ass. lol.

anyway don't think i'll be blogging for a while. damn busy.
