Is WtW over 18?Did Wally the Walrus buy a ticket?

In walrus years or human years?Is WtW over 18?
I think they mean without a six arising.“RTÉ” said:Given that tickets have been bought since early June, this highly unusual situation is akin to chances of rolling a die 37 times with the number six arising, TDs and Senators will hear.
The Canadians stole our number 6 and won't give it back, without that we can't win?I think they mean without a six arising.
Is that correct though?I think they mean without a six arising.
The chances of a 6 on one throw is 1 in 6 or say c.17%; the chances of not a 6 are then 83%.Is that correct though?
Are the odds the same?
What's the chance of the Lottery not being won over this period?The chances of a 6 on one throw is 1 in 6 or say c.17%; the chances of not a 6 are then 83%.
Chances of two 6's on 2 throws of dice 17% x 17% = 3%; Chances of no 6 on 2 throws = 83% x 83% = 70%, still quite high
The chances of a 6 every time for 37 throws is like odds of number of atoms in the universe but chances of no 6 37 times is about 1 per 1,000; very low but not outlandishly so.
About 1 in a 1,000 which is the chances of no 6 in 37 throws of the die or indeed throwing a 6 in 4 throws at once, which doesn't sound quite so impossible. Have you ever thrown a double 6 twice in a row in Monopoly? It happens.What's the chance of the Lottery not being won over this period?
That seems an astonishing marketing budget / slush fund.A really weird revelation was that c.€20m p.a. of unclaimed prizes is ploughed back into promoting the NL unlike in the UK where it goes to good causes.
Certainly does. The chairman really queried it and didn't really get a very satisfactory answer from the NL guy as to under what heads this promotion came. In fact the NL guy was his own worst enemy; kept ducking questions citing confidentiality. You would swear he had something to hide which I am sure he has not.That seems an astonishing marketing budget / slush fund.
I'd say she was great at those maths problems from school that started with "If Gerry has a 1.5 ton van and has to blow up a 6 story building, how much fertiliser will he need to pack into the back of it..."Such talent is wasted in Dail Eireann - I mean that.
Her name? Mairead Farrell, SF TD for Galway West, with a degree from my alma mater Queens University Belfast. Be Afraid
If two volunteers can dig a grave for one informer in two days, how long will it take three volunteers to dig graves for six informers?I'd say she was great at those maths problems from school that started with "If Gerry has a 1.5 ton van and has to blow up a 6 story building, how much fertiliser will he need to pack into the back of it..."
look at the amount of ads on the telly that they have, RTE must be making a fortune from itThat seems an astonishing marketing budget / slush fund.
