I have been told that I dont understand odds

I have been participating in a random drawing where every week one person out of about 2000 is chosen as the winner .
I assume that the first week , my odds of winning are one in 2000.
Easy enough right ?
But if I compete two weeks in a row with the same one in two thousand chance, is not my odds of winning one in one thousand since I done it twice?
If I play every week for a whole year are not my odds about one in thirty eight?
My coworkers are saying im retarded

it's common sense. You say 1 trial is 1/2000, 2 trials is 2/2000, so 52 trials is 52/2000 which is 2.6%. And the closest rational representation involving a 1 in the numerator is 1/38. Sure he couldve said 13/500 or something but 1/38 makes more sense....he couldve also said 1/40 as well though.

that's fine in terms of thinking about probability in general.
as far as investing or gambling into it, it's not very helpful.
The lower the hit% (in this case 1/2000) the more randomness and the larger sample size needed.
If you have a fair coin, the hit% will be 1/2 or 50%. You can still mathematically sustain a losing streak of about up to 8 in a row, even if the coin is fair. Three or four losses in a row aren't that rare, and you'd be an idiot to think you were guaranteed a win because of three losses.
With 1/2000 being a lot smaller than 1/2, the losing streaks are greater. As is the randomness.
For a given year, you may as well treat each drawing as an independent 1/2000 chance.
At least you know that a year's participation that winning isn't exceedingly rare.

Its not for gambling , its for a nation wide puzzle contest
I enter the correct answer ever week and have done for years but I never ever win ;_;
This week there were only 800 correct answers
Sometimes its as low as 50.
Still I never win

Your definition of "help" isn't help. Pretending everything's fine and normal isn't helping anyone, it's making it worse. Just like how it doesn't help a schizo to agree with him that there really are CIA robotspiders living in his brain.

Can you explain the forces involved in tidal locking. I would have thought the moon's moment of inertia would be more or less unaffected by tidal forces.

>>14403436
the tidal force exerted by Earth on Luna means that the side facing us at any given point in time will get slightly deformed, just as we see our oceans get deformed in the same manner
over time, this mass imbalance means that there is a permanent pull on a specific side, namely the one with the imbalance, because any attempt at rotation relative to the Earth-facing side gets counteracted by the torque produced as soon as this imbalance occurs, i.e. when the side with the mass imbalance isn't facing directly against Earth, there will be a tidal force pulling it back

You can eat the mold too, it won't hurt you. It tastes kinda bad. Rhizopus, which is most of the mold you see on fruit and bread, is sometimes used in fermentation. It's fine.

Just looking through this guys page is insane lol. He seemingly subscribes to any and all flavors of schizo theory/pseudoscience while also wholeheartedly believing it is actual science. I think this type of mindset is a domino effect where an inkling of distrust combined with a lack of desire/ability to actually comprehend and learn science snowballs into pure delusion; if it’s not mainstream, replicable science it MUST be right because le esoteric twitter man said so. They start of believing one thing and soon find themselves in a echo chamber of schizos who are just like them and read the same pseudoscientific drivel and feed off one another. These dudes probably tried to read an actual scientific journal or textbook once and decided it was too hard or boring but since they like the “idea” of science they appropriate all the terminology and attempt to fit it into their retarded theories. Its all egotistical. They want to be viewed as a guru who rejects the mainstream in favor of “lost knowledge.” And since midwits eat up anything that sounds like science without thinking about it twice they have a positive feedback loop of retardation forever.
