what do you think the odds are of abduction in this case?

[Mr Gray]

Well you're aware of the terms 'pure' and 'applied' maths?
Well I wasn't using either of them. I was referring to the maths being 'pure' as an adjective. No allusion to a branch of maths was intended.
Delete, delete, delete.

It wasn't removed it was edited,  The whole forum is about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, so it is pointless to point this out again.

if you remove the post you have to justify it but not if you edit it and totally change its meaning

Is there any point in analysing the things that DID happen? 

That is a very similar question to what I asked but I was asking about the odds of what happened.
I suppose you could say what are the chances that the girl was abducted from the apartment on the Thursday?

Uncertainty about what was happening on the Friday could be a factor to favour the Thursday night.

"Its all go tonight!  Let's do it tonight"

[Mr Gray]

The odds only have two possibilities Dave, nothing can alter that fact. You're all in the one, end of.

That's the way it is, why not accept the truth because the truth is, there is always the one. You might get lucky, others do.

im afraiid you are wrong  in  athree horse race ther are three possibilities as to who may win...its applied maths

I reported the post and edited it.  It was a shame what was left was rather insignificant and misspelt.

my mathematical credentials have been questioned by those not fit to sharpen my pencil....expect no quarter ....the slightest error will be atacked and punished ...no prisoners... fix bayonets

who gives a toss about spelling..its the message tahts important ....you have admitted you go back...check and correct your posts...I dont have that much respect for those like you who complain

[Mr Gray]

We're talking odds and for the final time:

All the other odds/Davel's ONE stranger abduction. TWO possibilities, not three.


Night Davel!

after the race there was one winner and two losers. 2/1 or is it 1/2 the odds of losing are 2/1 but of winning they are 1/2  ???? Is that correct? how do you express the opposite?
Except for a dead heat, or all horses "Did not finish".

Think this discussion is a non-runner so all odds matter zilch.

Aye. an endless to and fro of semantics on odds.  Not of the abduction but bloody odds!
