csd doesn't have a person in his...  

back when he had that supposed pic of imtimi as his avatar

I fully agree.

lol now whenever I read jell's posts I imagine dando with a really deep voice

Well, at least it's someone I know personally...

I can put a picture of me, but quirvy would be scared frm my uber-abs

Hey in CSD's mafia game I was shos and I had abs.

Wow, I am a massive nerd. I got the urge to do some math so I wrote a Matlab script that calculates the chances of landing on any given square during the late game of Monopoly. Once you take the Go To Jail square into account, it turns out that out of all the streets you have the highest chance of landing on an orange square followed by the yellow squares. It appears the purple squares have the lowest chances of landing on.

For anyone interested, here is a list with all the odds:

1 is the first brown square and 40 is the Start square.

I KNEW IT!  The purple are even more so worthless!

i ALWAYS buy the blue and the purple and orange... so since they're super inexpensive i can buy at the start..

Green are the ones that I always win on.  When you get hotels on those puppies...

but they cost 200 a house. to get hotels you'd have to spend 3000 dollars. can't get there if i have hotels on the light blue purple and orange.

But how much do you have to pay when you do have hotels on them?  Hm?

My. iPhone. screen. cracked.

I. am. so. mad.

Buttered toast always lands butter-side down. Cats always land on their feet. Taping buttered toast to a cat with make it float. Tape iPhone to grain-feline hybrid. Problem solved.

But it's already broken

600. for light blue. decent chunk. then orange is like 1000? 1600 is good.  

My condolences. To cheer you up, here's a random picture, brought to you by google images:

Cracked iPhone screen + plastic wrap = Good enough until I get a new one for my birthday (Which is tomorrow)

Hey, in 2 days it's my anniversary of coming back to the interguild.

EDIT: This is me and my friend's conversation on whether to get a black or white iphone

"Hm, black or white iPhone?
Black says 'I'm cool. And updated"
And white says 'I'm so rich I updated from black to white!"

"White. It says freespirited"

"But white is so cheerful,
But black is too modern,
And white is still sorta modern"

"Black says serious buisness ( :sb"

"White says peppy"

"Black says no emotion"

"White says too much emotion"

So I think I'm gonna get a white one...

lol dando; what a perfectly useless use of Matlab. I hope you didn't buy that program, especially for stuff like that xD

and uh, it makes sense that the streets will have different percents, but jail has 5% exactly? this seems MUCH wierder than expected. much, much, much. can you spoiler me the script?


EDIT: holy crap dando, you're jell XD

So, I was walking from my kitchen this morning, with a handful of food and great joy in my heart knowing that I was about to get comfy and enjoy a nice hearty meal. Suddenly, however, I heard a loud smack and overwhelming pain in my middle toe on my left foot. At first I thought it was going to be one of those, 'Oh, I hit my foot against something whilst walking barefoot, it hurt like crazy at first, but nothing happened to it.' I was wrong. When I hit the table's leg, I immediately fell over, spilling all the food, looking like a complete fool. I was shocked by the pain, so I decided to look at my foot. I brought my self together and took a gander at my mangled toe. Half of the toenail was pushed back almost halfway, and considering I have really stubby toes, I can find it understandable that all the skin before the nail was ripped off and blood was just resting there. I was indeed flabbergasted by the whole experience. I knew I had to do something so the first thing I did was run up some stairs, during which I banged my toe a few times again. I got to the upstairs bathroom where i scavenged for some toilet paper and then went to my room for some tape. Threw everything together and haven't touched it since. So occasionally I've knocked my toe on something throughout the day, and that happens to be why I wrote this post. I was reminded of the incident when I came to sit down on my computer chair, when instead, I sat down on my left foot, resulting in some intense pain.

I realize I forgot the Community and Chance cards that can teleport you to a square. It shouldn't be difficult to add those.
I'll also post the script I used once I've done that.

And what are you calling this? A Fly-pod?

lol@GF4's post. uh, I'm pretty sure it's gonna appear as an email. LIVIO fix.

and yes I was wondering if you used those cards too. you should add them and update!

Here are the odds again with the Community Chest and Chance cards taken into account:

I realize that there is also the problem of throwing double three times in a single turn sends you to jail, but that is complicated because you can't get send to jail through any other means during any of these throws. I hoped that it wouldn't have too large of an impact on the game.

Here is a graph to show these odds:


And here is the M-file for Shos. It is simply a system of 40 variables. The chance of landing on a square is equal to the the chance of coming there from any of the 40 squares on the board multiplied by the chance of landing on that square. It is simply an equation of the form v = A v. So to solve this I simply had to find the eigenvector of this system for eigenvalue 1. The only difficult part was forming the matrix. It are exactly these types of problems that Matlab was created for. You can try to find the nullspace of a 40x40 matrix by hand if you want, but I prefer to use Matlab.


And Livio, why are there smilies in my code?
Edit: Livio, why are those smilies only there when I preview my post?
