KRUTS THEOREM OF BALLOON CALCULATION

Seriously, Kruts, you should get some title for formulating this theorem. I mean it here, me not joking... 😛

maddy - assuming that the balloons were defective or not answered, the adjustment from 75% to 16% corrects for the errors.

i think studying Anatomy was easier... 😊

Kurts, I agree with you that figuring out how the system checks for questions answered incorrectly is important. Beacuse only way your balloon count decreases is when someone answers your question incorrectly. You have a balloon count of 40, so at least 200-40=160 answers were incorrectly answered by others. But in your case it is only 127 so that is wierd.

ok you figure it out. its too late for me now..
will check in morning what i have in my bucket 😆

Vijay, if you dont mind, can you share the way you calculated the two values:

1) Correct Answers by member
2) Incorrect Answers by member
3) Incorrect answers by recepient

See each balloons sent is a entry in the database with 4 options in the status and with the Sender ID and Recipient ID

0 = Pending
1 = Correct
2 = Incorrect
3 = Cancelled (meaning Reclaimed)

In total there were about 200,000 balloons sent.

So its like when you send the balloon it is marked as 0 (Pending)

When answered: Correct would mean 1 and Incorrect would mean 2

If unanswered and reclaimed that balloon is marked as 3 (Reclaimed)

So there is no calculation as such there and the system just needs to counts the correct & incorrect entries.

Cheers,
Vijay

there is a hole in your bucket, seema

Hehehe...yeah? Anatomy is easier? I knew i was in the wrong field!!!

Well, you should blame the people who refused to admit me into med-school because i got into a fist fight with a guy who was harrassing me during admissions process!!!

so vidya ji do you think i was jokeing...

let vijay take his own time.. no stress. after all he some one loose or win we are not goingto fight or kill each other (nor be friends 😆 ) tell him to be cool down

Kruts, this is so nice to see you away from Astitva section, talking about probability and all other stuff... I am having fun reading your arguments... I have always enjoyed the way you analyse things. But that was pertaining to the serial, though... This is really nice...

It should be called Kurt-chovsky theorem 😃
