Avec lemons

Someone to share my chai with?

Does the fact that I am willing to write a full-on 50 page script of Doctor Who for my nemesis of an English teacher, just to see her face when I'll drop the thing in, make the couple of weeks of sitting at home worth it? Yes, I believe it does.

A probability experiment

So probabitity is cool. We all know that really. "Happenings seem random when they happen in small scales, like once, twice, six times. But when that scale goes further and happenings are repeated many times, patterns are formed." Yeahyeah.

So, I'mma cut the BLABBER and tell you about an idea for an experiment. 

PREPARE, EARTHLINGS.

Alors, on va commence. So the idea behind this is just that one thing on the top: that in the concept of randomness, patterns are, well, probable. And what I doodled in my mind was that

if one person makes an innocent little DOT on a big blank paper, into the most random place imaginable to the dot-maker, we can agree that the place of the dot  is Kinda Random.

Then, we do it again. We have a NEW person making a NEW dot on a NEW, BLANK paper. Jellies, that feels good. Dots all the way!

Then we'll do it again. And again. And still. Then we'll eat. Then do it again. Basically we'll repeat this happening, where a person makes a little dot on a big blank paper in a random place, until we have gained a thousand sheets of paper, all containing a single dot. 

Then, some photoshop wizard will take all the one-dot sheets and separating the dots from their individual image frames, put them in a SINGLE BACKGROUND AHH(with of course into the exact same place on the sheet as they were in their individual sheets). Now we should be looking at a thousand dots, all scattered up everywhere in a single sheet o' white canvas. 

Well, but would we be looking at a scatter of dots? Wouldn't it be possible that the dots would have been at random places as individuals, but as joined together, the dots would make a recognizable pattern? For example, as a group, they would have made a pattern like a triangle, or a flower or the shape of a walrus floating in space. Surely the probability of them lining up to make an image is higher than them being just a "starry sky" of dots?

I'm not asking for people to calculate the probablility of this. I'm asking for help to make this experiment. I want to see walruses (walri?) floating in space. c:

Chickens. They are to blame.

Today was weird. I seemed to do stuff. And then also leave everything undone. 

How Ronald Weasly of me.

But as it is not really that important, and as it is almost eleven PM and the battery in my laptop is running from time itself, I am not to be bothered with it. Yes.
