Consider an exponential tower of three thousand 7's.
What is the remainder when you divide the tower by 11?
Note that this notation means 7^(7^7) not (7^7)^7. So it's kinda like the Ackermann Function maybe?
The final answer must be given as a single integer in the range 0-10.


Anyone got any ideas?

Yes, like the Ackerman function, but that doesn't matter.

7 mod 11 = ?
7^2 mod 11 = ?
7^3 mod 11 = ?
7^4 mod 11 = ?
7^5 mod 11 = ?
7^6 mod 11 = ?

Thread 'Here's a Statistics problem for game of Polo (or Hockey if you like)'

Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...

Thread 'Roulette wheel physics and probability'

Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
