10 answers between 10 universes
+win-lose-lose-lose-lose-lose-lose-lose-lose-lose-lose = ?
+5-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 = -4

So 100% chance of getting $4.00 from who is runing the game

Is the podcast dead. If so too bad

If time is continuous, in the sense of real numbers, then there does not exist a next moment. Consequently, it comes as impossible that anything happens next, since for something to happen next, a next moment as possible comes as a precondition. Therefore, there exists a 0% probability that something will happen next.

Your shows are great! They are extremely helpful and wickedly funny. I hope you’ll continue with the series.

I’m really missing my math nerd fix. My engish teacher significant other really enjoyed it to. What the deal?

This project sounds really interesting. After reading this interview: http://technoccult.net/archives/2010/02/25/the-punk-rock-philosophy-of-mathematics-technoccult-interviews-tom-henderson/ I jumped over here. I am trying to catch up on the episodes, but I was wondering if there is an easily accessible archive feature for the show. Thanks!

Hullo lads, lovely podcast, like the math, what ho what ho.

Pleasantly surprised to see the length of the podcast but then realised most of it was elevator music. I’m not sure why, but it sort of killed the momentum of the podcast. Really put off, I must say.

Musical interludes and stings – perfectly fine. Short bursts, name-drop the podcast, back to the chin wagging – fine, acceptable, nice touch.

Eagerly awaiting the next one, preferably with less music. Cheerio.

Oh, now that is funny! You’re right, it seems I named this one Episode 13, when it should have been Episode 12.

Hey, man, I’m a mathematician, I can’t count that high!

Great episode. Never expected to laugh so much at probability.

I love the concept of the background music, but the interludes seem to stretch just a hair too long. Also, I don’t know if this has been an ongoing problem or not, but the audio level seemed really low on this episode and I had to really crank it to listen. Just an FYI.

Keep up the great work!

What are the odds of Episode 12 existing?
I’d wager slightly higher than the odds of it being posted.
