Damn' date=' I was just going to post that.

 

Okay, that was enough to convince me. Seriously, it managed to beat the Dark Knight by 2%, and 2 is a big number.

 

I know it is O.O...

And yeah, gonna ask to see this >.< that convinced me.

It can be proven that 2 is a big number.

 

Thought-experiment time!

 

Suppose I tell you that each of two boxes, A and B, contains a certain amount of money; that one contains twice as much money as the other (but which is which is unknown); and that, after you choose one, you will receive however much money is in that box.

 

Arbitrarily, you choose A. I open box A, and show you how much money is inside. It doesn't matter how much money it is; let's call it X.

 

I then offer you the choice of sticking with box A or switching and taking the money in box B instead. Now, you think of it in this manner: you have a one-half chance of gaining an extra X amount of money by switching, and a one-half chance of losing X/2 amount of money by switching. Since the two are equal in probability but the potential profit outweighs the potential loss, you naturally choose to switch to box B, so you do so.

 

However! Here is what you have overlooked: had you chosen box B in the first place instead of Box A, you would have used exactly the same logic and chosen to switch back to box A. Thus, even though your actions appeared perfectly logical, they merely reduced the problem back to the coin-flip it was before I offered you the chance to switch - your initial selection completely determined your final selection, and you wouldn't make any more money by switching every time than you would by keeping your original choice every time.

 

What went wrong? Answer that, and you will understand why 2 is a big number.

I got bored with the old Star Trek, because it was all talk. I saw the trailer for this movie and I was like, "Wtf? Power Rangers again?" Then it said Star Trek and I'm like. . . "No friggin way. I have to see it."

 

Regardless, yeah I hope to enjoy it.

Zetta is the best adjective ever. Look it up' date=' and then play TWEWY to appreciate it.

No ma'am. The question was rhetorical, so I don't understand why you answered it. Regardless, TWEWY also sounds stupid.

 

"Mommy! I found a TWEWY!"

 

"Okay sweetheart, eat it up." >_>

TWEWY is the acronym for "The World Ends With You"' date=' which is what Organization XIII's new RP is based on.

 

On-Topic: It amazes me that this movie had only [b']half the budget Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End had.[/b]

 

What th-......how in the he-............*voice of the scientist guy from DMC 4* IMPOSSIBLE!!!

 

 

The fact that it can be this epic with half of that budget warps time and space O.O

I ain't ignorant, so don't implyit. I know what TWEWY means. The abbreviation simply sounds stupid.

 

TWEWY <<<<< Chewy

 

Oh, and At World's End was a mediocre movie. It could've been so much better.
