If you want to have an order affecting rank, its less of a counting problem and moreso a probability problem
Replying to reorruatrnte #toughbrook ok but pika the order people join VC definitely impacts how the VC evolves
Your right pirate, its very important that you join the VC to the middle/end and dissappear at some point
ok let's not count leaving the VC too
that seems like it would be a bit of harder problem
I legitimately cannot do scratchwork math to do what you are asking me
that would be like what, all permutations of multiset where there's two elements for each person to represent joining leaving? except no because it's possible they don't leave.
idk i'm not a math man
I guess actually hold on, no
maybe you just replace (N r) (N choose r) with the permutation
since permutation order matters
if we do not care about leaving and just join order, that is easier to solve, although IDK if it has a nice closed form solution like this
only like 4 VCs matter anyway
so it's fine
If you want to look at that, you'd have to assign probabilities of each VC occuring
then you could find things like the expected chance of a good VC, or even funnier questions, such as "the expected chance this VC turns out good given Pika joined first, followed by Rusp"
but that is too complicated for quick math
and would require us modelling VC quality somehow
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak maybe you just replace (N r) (N choose r) with the permutation
If join order matters, it is the floor(e times N!)
You guys made me forget to start cooking dinner

Do we need to send a team to go and annex you Fire

I fucking hate catsnakes
This was a sizable one too
my graphics TA counted from 1 to 12 and when he said 6 7 there were multiple people visibly fighting for their lives not to laugh out loud

Lmao
I know you're laughing at the 1st part of the email, but wtf are they even talking about
"rather than viewing the collapse of Gaza's health system as being a secondary outcome of the genocide..."
I don't know, I both have class, and don't care to find out what insane skitzobabble they are going to talk about
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I know you're laughing at the 1st part of the email, but wtf are they even talking about "rather than viewing the collapse of Gaza's health system as being a secondary outcome of the genocide..."
Because it preceded the genocide
On the surface it sounds like the type of argument someone would make who was planning to downplay the whole genocide itself
"well you see, it's actually because in 2018 they decided not to upgrade their city's water mains"
ig it's more a symptom of just running out of things to talk about, regarding Israel/Gaza
i thought for a second that "dehealthification" might have been some kind of bizarre euphemism for genocide before realizing "no that's too funny to be true"
rapid dehealthification is a good term
I assume per-semester
wait uh, that's still low
how many hours do you have to spend teaching/proctoring?
10/week is all TA duties

maybe the hospitals shouldn't have been military bases
I think Israel has even stopped coping about that at this point
they just liked killing them

You have insulted the Ohio national dish
Rusp, you should start bringing cans of Skyline with you when you travel too
I'll take a picture of the next slop I feed Max, so you can get that final 1/4
We did that, then they got breached and are one of 2 data breaches I have been in
the other, also because of phijkchu, was roll 20 for the record
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 How have you been in only 2?
I only sign up for trustworthy websites
(random luck)
Having had to TA for upper level math courses, and thus also look for people posting the questions online to cheat, Chegg is useless for fucking anything other than basic 1st/2nd year undergrad math
