Statistics are statistics. If it tell you that 3 of 4 ppl in here are posting SPAM (just example as it is not true!), that means that 3 ppl posting Spam the 4th not. But that does not has to be everytime so, sometimes there might be 3 people - good posts - the 4th: SPAM.

this is just an example.

I don't particularly like it, but I think mad overstates the case.

If I could be bothered about it, I could probably show that the degree to which members spam is approximately Normally Distributed around the 20 years of age mark with a Standard Deviation of about 5, then I could make statistical inferences about how unlikely it is for J'Pol to spam seeing as he is 86, thus proving him to be somewhat abnormal if he ever spams.

But I can't be arsed.

She did manage to get into my bin the other day. Not bad, considering it's a dustbin style one from Ikea that's as tall as her, has a big lid on, and is surrounded by about 3 or 4 dozen Barr's glass bottles just now (keep meaning to take them to the shop but keep forgetting :blink: ).

Perhaps she attached a bottle to each leg, making her a foot taller. :o

Is this one of these lateral thinking puzzles. :huh:
