Birthday problems
-
@The-Darkin-Blade You're right, it's not exactly the golden ratio... maybe we should make it a rectangular cake with length 16 inches and width 10 inches
-
We should add an extra part: We made a cake that is 62.28 inches in diameter because Prof. Loh deserves a special cake. How much space (volume) will the cake take up?
-
Another problem:
Bob the baker
is back!
He baked 28 small cakes that could bear the symbols: P,O,-,S,H,E,N,L,O,H,6,/,1 or 8. He generate a random symbol from the above list for each cake and put the symbols on them. (Yes, the letter O and H have the highest probability of 1/7 each, while the others 1/14 each)
But he accidentally messed up the cakes and have to randomly re-order them.
Then he uses Baker Cat Magic and have a 16.18% chance of switching the symbol on the cake currently to the next (ie P to O, S to H etc). O and H have 8.09% chance of going to - and 6 with the same chance for going to H and E, respectively.
Or else the symbol stays the same. The same applies for all symbols.
What is the chance that, in the end, it spells “PO-SHENLOH6/18PO-SHENLOH6/18” ? -
@RZ923 We're going to have a lot of fun with these, lol
-
My brain power isnt enough to solve problems but I can surely make them

@The-Darkin-Blade Me too

Bob the
’s bakery was a success!
He cooperated with three big
companies - Po, Shen and Loh - to celebrate Professor Loh’s birthday.
On June 18th, the three companies makes random # of cakes between 24 and 618. Every possible # of cakes have equal chance. Then they press letters on each one.
Po company: 61.8% chance press P, 38.2% chance press O.
Shen company: 6.2% chance press S, 93.8% chance press H, E or N.
Loh company: 81.6% chance of press L, 18.4% chance press O or H.
Then they choose the best cake on display. Each cake have the same chance of being on display. Bob the take photos of the three displays and shuffles them into random order.
What is the probability that the photos spell Professor Loh’s initials (PSL) in the same order? -
