MHB Bridge Game: Does Luck Matter?

AI Thread Summary
In a Bridge game with four players, one player has not received any Aces after three turns, raising the question of whether this player has a right to complain about luck. The game consists of 32 cards, with each player receiving 8 cards per turn. The discussion suggests solving the problem first through combinations and then using the Bernoulli scheme. Participants are encouraged to share their progress or thoughts to facilitate better assistance. The focus remains on understanding the role of luck in card distribution within the game.

4 people are playing the Bridge Game, out of 4 players 1 player hasn't received a single Ace after third turn, does he have the right to complain that he doesn't have luck?
To clarify some things - There are 32 cards (4 types), each of the four players get 8 cards for each turn.
The problem is supposed to be solved firstly using combinations and after that using Bernouli scheme, thanks in advance

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
