50/50

Postby Olly » Sun Jun 08, 2014 7:31 am

Assa explain this to me. I some how missed the explanation a while back and never bothered to catch up.

I watched a movie last night called 50/50 and it had a theory that either something will happen or it won't no matter how crazy unlikely the outcome.

This is Urban Dictionary's detention too.

A theory that subscribes to the notion that there are only 2 outcomes to any kind of situation. It either will happen, or it won't, no matter how unrealistic. There is therefore 50% chance either way.

Also used to piss someone off, in an un-winnable argument.
Anybody: Oi, Gimp, Scunthorpe Utd will win the Champions League within 3 years.

The Gimp: No they won't, Man Utd will.

Anybody: Fuck off Gimp. 50/50 theory says there is a 50% chance they will. Its simple, they either will or they won't, there are only 2 possible outcomes so fuck off!


Is that close to your 50/50 theory? Or am I totally off on what it is?

Got it, anyone else asks obvious question is trolling. Olly asks obvious question equals discussion or debate. ;)

It's not obvious to me. I really did miss the original explanation of his theory. Whether an old grumpy man who get's his panties in a bunch because of some guy 3000 miles away believes me or not has no bearing on the truth. No matter how much you want it to.

Oh I forgot the :lol: :lol: :lol: so you know we're all good.

I've actually been writing a pilot for the sitcom.
"Nobody listens to Jim"
Gonna be pitching it to NBC sometime around the end of the year.
It's about a guy who lives in Maryland and is really cheap, and hilarious shit goes wrong for him all the time. In the first episode he shoots a pesky emu and builds a welder. Gonna be tv gold.

Ok Olly, even though it's against my grumpy old man better judgement, I will attempt an explaination.
You're a computer geek so you should be able to grasp binary code. Everything is 1 or 0 at it's most basic. On or off only two options. Even ASCII's 128 characters are based on binary at it's purest. Hexidecimal is the same in a computer it's all 1 or 0 at the most basic level. With only two choices, what are the odds? Obviously 50/50. 1 or 0. It is the way of the universe.
