ur dumb
stop trying to give an analogous discrete example, because you can't. Your example just shows us why you don't understand the paradox. .

(A) Randomly pick a chord of a circle such that any given chord has the same probability of being chosen as any other chord.
(B) Randomly pick a number between 2 and 12 such that any number in that range has the same probability of being chosen as any other number.

(B) is just a 11-sided dice roll
(A) is a paradox because there is no unique solution.
In the wikipedia page: "A chord is uniquely identified by its midpoint" (i.e. there's a 1:1 mapping from midpoints to chords). So the "random midpoint" method will choose chords with a uniform distribution over all possible chords. It might be counterintuitive that other selection methods produce a non-uniform distribution but it's not a logical paradox.

is that person's post really SO horrible that you simply cannot endure the quarter of second it takes to scroll past their post when you see their name

god forbid you accidentally read a word or two of what they posted

It may be too soon for this but what happens when our social thread reaches page 1000?

Edit: This is post number 33060 and we just heve to get to 40000 so there's only 6940 posts left. We have time but I think we should plan something around it. Maybe a tournament in a centric location for the 64 community. I could do some NA calculations to pinpoint the shortest driving distance for the players. Just an idea that could be fleshed out.

So a kid at xanadu yesterday brought and played with an N64 Power Glove. I know one handed money matches are common, would these be legal? Also what if someone used two gloves to enter in teams by themself, would that be legal?

No haha, they're almost impossible to use. You would really need to train with one of these things.

Direction is controlled by analog motion of the wrist. So to dash to the left, you have to flick your whole wrist to the left. Also the button alignments are very tricky to get used to. Keyboard players might have an easier time transitioning to it though.
