Simple gambling problem

If he held up the silver side of a card, there remain three possibilities for the other side:
You could be seeing the obverse side of the S/S card (the other side is silver).
You could be seeing the reverse side of the S/S card (the other side is silver).
You could be seeing the silver side of the G/S card (the other side is gold).

There are three choices, see?

Ah, now I understand your problem. Let's go back to that hat.

I pull out a card and don't show you anything. What's the chance that it's the S/S card?
1/3 of course.

I pull out a card and don't show you anything. However, I pull out the G/G card from the hat and
show you it (both sides). What's the chance that I have the S/S card?
1/2 of cours ...[text shortened]... nformation
you can get from knowing that one side of the card is silver[/i].

your explanations are totally unnecessary and worthless. 🙄

and i give the correct solution on page 5 of this thread. Many here, yourself included, have made many witless and incoherent assertions in an attempt to pretend that it just isn't there. And it appears that you keep switching from the cards in the hat problem to the boy-girl family hoax/paradox at random, please be consistent.

Again - why worthless? EXPLAIN!

Unnecessary? Probably. It seems you won't ever understand this problem. Go ask it to your math's teacher.

No one is pretending it isn't there. Everyone is trying to prove you that it's wrong.

I'm referring to the problem alone. I am also addressing the problem with your explanation on
page 5.

You could be seeing the obverse side of the S/S card (the other side is silver).
You could be seeing the reverse side of the S/S card (the other side is silver).

Do you deny that there are three choices?

i give the same solution as fx and lemmonjelly. 😉

wrong as usual lemmonjelly. A juevenilistic baiting personal attack is an ad hominem by definition.

Like I said, your conduct has been and continues to be unconscionable. I'm guessing you're fairly young and have a lot to learn (and not just about probability and logical fallacies).

Then why do you disagree with Lemonjello in the recent pages? If he has the same solution (which, as much as I've read, he doesn't) you shouldn't be arguing with him.

I pity the fact that you don't own a "Shift" key.

Irrelevant. Ad hominem = fallacy

and please acquire some critical thinking skillz, if it's not asking too much.

Sounds more like from medieval times. (I'm judging his "logic"😉.
