Thanks arild! Um.. There's just one thing. I'm guessing the letters simelaneously. So there's no feedback on wether my first guess was right. I write down my two guess , and then put it on a table, and he reads it. What are the odds he tells me one of my letters are right. That's the...

This isn't a hwk question, it's just something I've been trying to show my dad. I'm probably wrong. Okay my question is, suppose you pick ONE letter out of the alphabet. The odds of me picking your letter are 1/26, if I only have one guess. However, if I have two guesses, aren't the odds a...

I've been wracking my brains trying to answer this but it's just really hard. If some one could help me out I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much in advanced! Consider the family of hypersurfaces where each member is defined by the constancy of the function S(xc) over that...
