Do you pronounce hide (n) and hide (v) differently? For me, hide (n) rhymes with side, whereas hide (v) has the same vowel sound as sight.

Assuming a coin toss with a 50:50 chance (Head:Tail)
The chances of throwing heads multiple times in a row are:
H,H = 1/2^2
H,H,H = 1/2^3
...
N*H = 1/2^N

Knowing this, is the following possible? -
I sit at home and throw a coin and declare Head as RED and Tail as BLACK.
I throw the coin until I have thrown Heads 6 times in row.
Now I go into the casino and go all in on BLACK because the chances that RED, which I have declared as heads, will appear again are 1/2^7 which is super unlikely.

I win, go home and repeat until I'm rich.

It should work because I've chosen myself as reference frame and from my perspective this event (1/2^7) is super unlikely.

It's like I'm charging myself up at home with a probability and then I use it against the casino.

It's perfectly logical yet nobody is doing this.

What am I missing?

If we assume that this is because of environmental factors out of, which having a faggot family member is a significant [1], then how the fuck can we counter this growth?
It's not healthy having a population full of retards that believe they're special or that what they're doing is right because it's natural , cannibalism and pedophilia are natural but you don't see me advocating for the decriminalization of either.
>b-but no one gets hurt
the mere act of being attracted to your same sex (while repulsive) isn't an issue, it's the accompanying consequences:
>higher domestic abuse rates [2]
>victimization subculture [3]
>self induced mental illness [4]
>higher std percentage in your demographic [5]
And the list goes on and on so let's cut the bullshit. How can we stop it? How can we raise our children to be normal (yes, NORMAL) socially speaking?

Let's say you're trying to solve a real life problem, but you don't know what kind of maths would be helpful, how do you find the maths concepts involved?
A trivial example: you want to know the slope of a hill you're climbing, but you've never heard of trigonometry. Is there a maths encyclopedia you can look up something like "how to find how steep something is"?
That's a simple example, but imagine it's something more complicated. You know what the problem is, but not what maths is involved, where would you search for this? Maths articles? Research databases? Do you have to call up a mathematician?
I feel like maths is this giant forest and you need like 3 specific trees for your particular problem but good luck figuring out where they are without spending 30 years studying the entire forest first.

Maybe what I'm really asking is where do researchers look? What databases do they search? Are there books not on specific topics but like, a map of maths as a whole?
