I don't care either way, it was fun to watch.
Izzy, please explain, If i give you 10 dollars for something and you give me 1 dollar back, that item cost me 9 dollars...actually it is a mathematical error that was given to a collage class...

schlepprock250, no problem, we will just carry on----------

next question, a deck of cards(52 cards) shuffling the cards, what is the odds of drawing an ace??????

1st correct answer gets the FREE HPX included shipping

4/52 is actually a "wrong" answer if you ask most math teachers. 4/52 can be reduced down. The proper answer would be 1/13. but he also said the percentage so I'll let it slide.

The real questions is if you went camping with Clay and woke up with him in your sleeping bag would you tell anyone. If not he want's to know if you want to go camping. (Sorry Clay, my sick cop humor could not pass this up.)

The real answer is 2/27 (or 4/54). A deck of cards has 52 numeric/value cards and two Jokers (wild), for a total of 54.

What is an 'HPX'? I do not understand the majority of these acronyms used on this site.
