I love talking about this. I'm getting quite a bit of traction out of it, and have spread it to neighbors, and a few acquaintances at the crab feast we had on Monday. I attribute this to all the arguing amongst ourselves. :lol: It's the first small step on the path to global domination.

I think its a great theory. I often get all excited and say "I'm gonna go fish hard, but call my buddy to bring the wake board too...then I'm like nahhhh 50/50 theory is right. I'll stick to fishing"

Nope, that's the Theory of Medium™ Grizz :lol:

Although in all the uproar over the 50/50™, I've neglected the Theory of Medium™. I better get on that.

Ok dude. Have fun with this one. I'm to tired to care and my head hurts. I'll check back in after a nap, and try and decipher what the hell you're talkin about. :lol:

If I get no money, then the "negative" side of the 50/50™ holds true. It's a no lose proposition.

There is a 50/50 chance you are right about that.

If I remember correctly, the Theory of Medium applies to conflict resolution. Something about not trying to forge some awkward compromise or "middle ground" when making a choice. Go with one or the other, and make the best of it. It compiments 50/50 nicely, because no one can argue that their side is the better alternative. It's 50/50, just choose one.

Not with out some special symbols- !@##$%#$%#$^%^& for instance.

Actually the odds of me getting the sylabylls right is 95-5. The 50 - 50 law is flawed.

This is an uncensored site, no need for special symbols. And no it isn't flawed. Either you can or you cant. Personally I think you cant.

80,000 people in a stadium. one ticket will be pulled to win a full sized pick up truck (make and model are irrelevant to the example). Odds are most certainly not 50/50 for every single person there, because the odds do not change once the winning ticket is pulled. If it were 50/50, 40,000 people would win trucks and that is not possible when only 1 is available

odds are 1 in 80000. However your chances are 50/50 either you win or you don't.
