In Response To: Gammons Per Pip x Distance to bear in +1 (Mr Majestyk)

I don't have an opinion on how many you would get right or wrong in some sort of contest.

I was commenting on the contents of that post. It seemed to have so many errors and bizarre ideas that it really looked like a joke post. Either you have a brillance which I am too stupid at math to understand or it is a bunch of nonsense. If it is the former case I humbly apologize if you can give reasonable answers to the following:

1) "Blue requires 17 pips to bear in"

Have you switched blue and white and also are only seeing a single back checker instead of two?

When you calculate 18/7 or 2.57 rolls is the wastage not important and is the fact that the average roll is 8 1/6 instead of 7 important?

2) "her Gammons Per Pip ratio"

Have you defined what this means in another post?

3) "A further 10th can be added for 11 22."

Is getting 22 or 11 twice here better than 65 twice? For some reason you are adding a tenth becausee of 11 22. Do you mean add a tenth of a percent or a tenth of all the games or a tenth of the result obtained so far? Since you are sometimes using percentages but not saying it is a percentage it is difficult to tell.

4) "1.3 * 18 - 19.5% (Stick's estimate) = 18.9%"

Is it 1.3 X 18 - 19.5 or is it 1.3 multiplied by a value which ranges from 18 to 19.5 or something else entirely? Whatever it is how does it calculate to be 18.9%?

5)"In this example, blue's GPPR would need to be 1.53 * 35 = 53.55 Gammons. This ratio would need to be between 5/36 * 4/36"

You are using "would need to be" in both sentences, but then giving two different values. Is the first one actually the calculation of what it is and not what it would need to be? Where did all of those values come from or what meaning do they have (1.53, 35, 5/36, 4/36)

Do you mean between 5/36 and 4/36? 53.55 is pretty far away from 5/36 and 4/36. Is it 53.55 out of something maybe?
