Dammit Fred stop hurting my tiny heart :'C

Big change for Sara is inevitable. She's very flighty and pushy, which is why she'd be good for her own comic...Won't be sad to see the back of saraphne if it happens, tbh

Off-hand, has anyone mentioned that "one in twenty" was exactly the odds she gave when choosing to take the risk with Rich: http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=576

Y'kno, my initial reading was a "wut" one — that Penny had coaxed Sara into coaxing Aggie into something and had been misleading Fred all this time after all… But yeah, I suppose having a chat with Daphne works better here.

Furthermore, that strip is a good example of why Penny's lips look so blocky now: She used to have specular highlights. Those little glossy spots go a long way toward making them looking less like flat lip-shaped symbols and more like dimensional parts of her face.

(Also, the cast used to have hints of nostrils, but only from time to time.)

Resits urge to make very bad statistics jokes about p values...

Next time on Penny and Aggie: Aggie, encouraged by Penny's honesty about where she sees them going, uses her math skills to estimate the chances of their making it work, with a 95% confidence interval, correct 15 times out of 20.

Very good... we could get even geekier if we look back at http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=1147. From this strip we know Penny is a Bayesian. This is obvious by how fixated she is on the posterior. :mrgreen:

We didn't cover that in Stats 101...sorry. :oops:

Probably better you didn't :lol:

Well now, if it involved the study of girls' (or boys') posteriors...

Listen to the Alice, for she is wise...

That was beautiful and horrible.

Though she hasn't shown a nun fetish, so no focus on a prior.

DAT POSTERIOR

Seriously, though: Penny is very bold with a "1 in 20". Personally I need odds of 1 in 4, or better, to try something life-changing.

Thank you... and the nun fetish? well Duane did dream Charlotte was a Bayesian... :shock:

Oh god, someone with great image manip skills should put sunglasses on the famous Bayes portrait with that tagline... :shock:

Kind of like the old zero wing All Your Bayes routine
