The 'monkeys' were just a metaphor for the randomness, as it was easier for people to imagine at the time. Actual monkeys aren't just random machines, and ignoring the outcome of the experiment with the actual monkeys, and assuming they would keep typing, they would eventually fall into patterns.

I made a quick function to test the Monty Hall after watching it because I was tilted. All you need to do is make an array with [G,G,C] in and pick a random number between 0-2 each loop. If it lands on 0 or 1 it gets the goat and switches to car, if it lands on 2 it gets the car and switches to goat.

I thought about this for while in my kitchen using 3 coasters to represent each door and I finally got it. For those of you who still don't get the Monty Hall Problem this explanation might help you. Put simply, you have a 2/3 chance of picking the goat door, but you don't know which two are goat doors and which one is a car. But after you pick a door, the host opens a goat door. This is the key to the whole problem. The host can only reveal a goat when he opens that door. See, since you have 2/3 chance of opening the wrong door, the odds are in your favor to get it wrong most of the time. But the host HAS to open of the doors with a goat, as the rules state. Meaning, you can assume that 2/3 of the time, you chose a door with a goat and the door the host is showing you is the other goat! That means that 2/3 of the time the only other door left has to be the car door.
when you tilt at sneaky being dumb just remember if its possible we have an infinite amount of universes that exist without our knowledge in one of those universes sneaky actually understands the problem.
The Monkey Theorem: Sneaky struggles to understand the concept of infinity The Monty Hall Problem: Sneaky struggles to understand the probability of being right on your first try
Simplest alternate explanation of Monty Python problem imo: When you picked one at the start you had a 1/3 chance to get it right. If you could somehow pick the other two doors, you would have a 2/3 chance. The host removes a door by showing it has a goat, and now the last door has that 2/3rd chance.
The probabilities do not change after the reveal at all. The two doors the contestant leaves for the host have probabilities of either 0 and 2/3, or 2/3 and 0.
There are exactly 6 possible situations: 1. g G c 2. g c G 3. G c g 4. G g c 5. c G g 6 .c g G let's say you chose door number 1, then you will be right in only case 5 and 6 so 2/6 = 1/3. If you switch then you would be right in cases 1 to 4. so 4/6 = 2/3
The easiest way to explain why in that case it's always statically better to switch is this. In the beginning, you have three doors, and only one of them is the current choice. So you have a 1/3 chance of being correct, and a 2/3 of being incorrect. They key to understanding this is lies in changing your perspective from trying to "win" to trying to lose. Let's say you were intentionally trying to lose, then in this case, the door you choose at first has a 66.6% chance of being the correct choice (losing choice). Now, regardless of which door you chose at first, the host will always eliminate one of the options by revealing it. So now, you're left with two doors ; one of them is the winning door, and the other is the losing door. This is where people trip up all the time. If there are only two doors left, then people think your chances of winning are only 50/50 no matter which you choose. That is true... but only if you started with two doors... which we didn't Think back to the beginning. The door you randomly choose among the three options had a 66.6% chance of being wrong. That doesn't change even after one of the door has been eliminated. So if you don't choose to switch, your chances of losing are 66.6%. But since you know that, 66.6% of the time, if you switch, you will win.. It works out to be that always switching will be the correct choice 66.6% of the time. This requires quite a bit of critical thinking. Most people, honestly speaking, won't be able to wrap their heads around this.
This is wrong here. “ That doesn't change even after one of the door has been eliminated.” It changes. What is failed to be accounted for is that it’s a separate instance of time. It’s very low probability to flip a coin heads 100 times in a row. However, if you flip a coin heads 99 times in a row, and you are now in that instance of time, what are the chances you flip heads? 50/50
About the monty hall problem, basically knowing where the 2nd goat was is not going to change your initial 33% chance on getting the car, so mathematicly, choosing the other door is more likely (66%) to have the car, because in terms of %chance, you are not likely to select the car in the first place.
Exactly, the host opening a wrong door doesn't change your decision at the end to change or not. It would be exactly the same if you picked 1 door and he asks would you like to change to BOTH the other doors? Which you of course would do
Exactly, the fact the host always reveals a goat form the remaining doors means that we gain no new information about the door we initially picked. If Monty reveals randomly then the odds of our door increase but as the problem is presented our initial choice stays at 1/3 odds.
@Doublelift, 38:15 your target is switching because the game thinks that Akshan is killing his first target, therefore the second shot is going to the other practice dummy
"What if there was an infinite monkey theorem but for league? like after an amount of time you just become faker" I mean, kind of what happened with Fudge. Dude went from an absolute ape his first split to one of the best top laners in LCS.
Bruh fudge had already completed at works before joining c9. He didn't just come out of nowhere some random ape lol.. he's been training and prepping to be a pro for years now. He's looked pretty bad recently but ide say overall c9 has developed him well
Re: the Monty Hall problem, the solution can be more easily visualized with 1000 doors. Say you choose the first door. Then, there are 999/1000 scenarios in which the car is in the other 999 doors. If the host opens 998 doors, the chance that the car is in the other 999 doors has not changed. Since we know 998/999 doors don't have the goat and *your door chance has not changed*, the other door would have a 999/1000 chance of containing the car. Essentially, you have a 1/1000 chance of choosing the correct door off the bat, and a 999/1000 chance of the car being in "the other doors". Opening 998 doors does not change the chance of the car being in the other doors, ergo 999/1000 chance.
I think it's easiest by just removing any of the percentage/maths talk and reducing it purely to scenarios. You have 3 scenarios: you pick the first goat, you pick the second goat, or you pick the car. In both of the scenarios where you pick a goat you should switch, so in 2 out of 3 scenarios you need to switch.
@Mistral Wind that's not how maths works. You can make a program that simulates this problem and switching makes you win 66%+ of the time. Switching objectively gives you a higher chance of winning, it doesn't balance out. One has a 2/3 chance of winning and the other has a 1/3 chance, it's just a bigger number.
The 100 door one actually makes it a lot easier to understand. There’s no way you’re picking the car door on the first try so when it’s brought down to the last two doors it has to be the other one based on the initial probability
@Vinny Morrison it is based on the initial probability though, especially with the 100 door one. You are almost guaranteed to pick a goat door on the first try because its literally a 99% chance you do. If you're left with two doors, it doesn't automatically become a 50/50 because you know that the one that you chose initially is probably a goat. Free car
@doublelift I stopped the video 17:15 and wrote a program to test out the Monty Hall Problem. I had to know. My initial reaction was the same as Sneaky and Meteos, that the probability gets "reset" after he shows a door, and you're left with a 50/50 chance. After I ran the simulation that took my afternoon away from work, where I was already being distracted by this video, I couldn't believe the results. Every time I ran it, out of 100 games, if you stayed, you had 25%-40% win percentage. And EVERY time I ran it with it switching doors at the end, out of 100 games, you had a 60%-75% win percentage. Sneaky just want's to stay cause he believes in his crit :D
Meteos is right in that, as the host, knowing which door has the car and actually picking the others to show the contestant is the difference. An example of both are the classic monty hall problem based on the old game show "Lets Make A Deal" where switching is in the contestants best interest. However, if the host doesn't know where the car is and opens doors at random, in the event there are two doors left (with the car behind one of those doors) its a literal 50/50 chance. An example of this can be seen in the game show "Deal or No Deal" where the contestant actually picks the door to open each time (obviously the constant wouldn't know which door the prize is behind because it would be a pointless show lol).
The easiest way to understand the Monty Hall problem is realizing the host didn't open that last door for a reason. Taking doublelift's 100 doors and 98 are opened idea, why exactly would the host open all of those 98 doors and not the ONE left besides yours if it wasn't important? There is technical and pretty abstract math behind it that I was forced to learn for pharmacy pre-reqs but this thought process was the "oh okay" moment for me. Hope this helps!
The infinite tyler1 theory stated that given an infinite amount of time, tyler1’s intro would create every single work of literature including Shakespeare.
Imagine there's an infinite amount of doors. You pick one, then Monty Hall opens every other door revealing monkeys with typewriters. What are the odds one of those monkeys can use F keys in League?
Say that there's 3 people that each get 3 doors to choose from (9 doors in total). They all pick different doors (2 of them pick the goat and 1 picks the car). As long as the host shows each person the door that has the goat, if everyone switches, the 2 people who pick the goat gets the car, and the one person who picked the car gets the goat. The fact that 2 of the 3 people can get the car means that when you switch, there's a 2/3 chance that you get the car assuming that each person represents a different scenario whether you pick door A, B, or C. After all, this is just probability. It doesn't guarantee your chances of getting the car, but rather it helps you get in a better position going from a 33% chance to a 66% chance. The chances were not based on what doors were left (a 50/50), but it's based on what door you picked initially and if the host ALWAYS reveals the goat.
@@gabrielsgrottmoreira3149 Are you talking about that there's a 33% chance the host shows a car after you picked your door? If so, I'm only talking about all scenarios where the host always shows the goat after you picked the door.
@@damusagi Half of the possibilities are that you are wrong at changing the door, but I don't know how to prove it so... But I understand that your point is that we have 66% at being wrong at the first guess.
@@gabrielsgrottmoreira3149 "I can prove it but I don't know how to," then you can't prove it, lol. If you have 1000 doors, one leads to a car, 999 leads to nothing. If you pick a door then eliminate 998 doors that contain nothing, you SHOULD SWITCH because that last door has a high chance of being the car, as the 998 doors were eliminated proving that THEY WERE NOTHING so you have a higher chance of being correct. One is a 0.1% chance of being the car, the other is 99.99%.
@@JohnDoe-vb3fk I mean mathematical proof, because it's a statistic problem. You have n options, 1 is right the other are wrong, as you select one answer n-2 wrong answers are excluded, what is the chance of the other option being the correct? I know that 1/2= 0.5, but doesnt mean that this is a proof nor your comment does proves anything.
The better way to explain the Monty Hall problem: If you pick one door and the host gives you the opportunity to swap to choosing both of the other two doors, then it's better. Because that's essentially what he's offering by both revealing a door and letting you switch. Bless Sneaky for refusing to accept it at first though. That man has more brain cells than most people.
@@MrBlahblah22 Well it is true that giving the chance to switch to both other doors is the worst possible explanation because in that case the host doesn't even need to know where the car is. That makes it a different math problem altogether.
A bit late for the party but the reasoning for changing your door of choice is the following: Case 1: You have chosen door 1 with the car. The Gamemaster opens door 2 and chosing another door doesnt make sense. Case 2: you have chosen door 2 and the gamemaster opens door 3, bc he is not allowed to open the door with the car. Changing you choice benefits you. Case 3: You have chosen door 3 and the gamemaster opens door 2. Basicly the same that applies to case 2. Changing benefits you. In 2 out of 3 cases it benefits you changing the door. Thats why your chances increase. The explaination is confusing and doesnt make sense of the time, but this example helped me understanding it.

The monty hall problem is provable to be correct, if you run the simulation (with a random door selection program) it will show that switching doors will increase your likelihood. This has been done before, it’s a hard problem to explain intuitively and even mathematicians strongly disagreed on the topic.
"and even mathematicians strongly disagreed on the topic.", do you mean in the past? Because I'm pretty sure any mathematician will agree on the topic now
@@TimmehTRP Yeah well Marilyn vos Savant answered the question in the 70's I think (she was at the time the smartest female). And many male mathematicians called her dumb and a fraud. But these people were mainly low level profs.
@Phúc Phan people like sneaky have trouble understanding abstract mathematical concepts. As double lift said he’s a practical person and can struggle with the hypothetical extremes. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had trouble with algebra in school. But it doesn’t mean people that don’t understand it are dumb, it just doesn’t click to those who value the literal, clearly observable realities. Therefore I wouldn’t say it’s easy in an objective sense, bc there’s lots of literal thinkers like sneaky in the world who aren’t even unintelligent. Abstract math really can be tough for the human brain to grasp. For me, the concept of infinity is truly crazy to think about
It's actually kind of triggering to see sneaky so sure of himself when he is so wrong xD The easiest way to think about the monty hall problem is considering the choice between switch/no switch instead of which door. If you say no switch, you pick a door with 33% chance and don't even consider the information that comes after that. If you say switch, you effectively open two doors, one is opened by the host and the other by you, combining into a 66% chance when switching.
DL just saying the less you know about something, the more you feel you know about it. Common in people everywhere across any topic. Dunning-Kruger effect for those who are curious
On Akshan its because the game thinks the first dummy is dying so it puts the second shot on the full life dummy. Just like Lucian double shot ability when you cast it on a dying minion.
DL, Meteos, and Sneaky's reactions to the Monty Hall Problem made me think something: Sneaky is my Id, aggressively defending my initial stance and feeling despite the lack of understanding Meteos is my Superego, accepting myself being wrong and understanding the reasoning behind the right answer to the problem DL is my Ego, not giving a fuck and enjoying the discussion tbh I probably got the Id, Ego, and Superego part wrong but it's still fun

Simplest alternate explanation of Monty Python problem imo:
When you picked one at the start you had a 1/3 chance to get it right. If you could somehow pick the other two doors, you would have a 2/3 chance. The host removes a door by showing it has a goat, and now the last door has that 2/3rd chance.
The probabilities do not change after the reveal at all. The two doors the contestant leaves for the host have probabilities of either 0 and 2/3, or 2/3 and 0.
There are exactly 6 possible situations:
1. g G c
2. g c G
3. G c g
4. G g c
5. c G g
6 .c g G
let's say you chose door number 1, then you will be right in only case 5 and 6 so 2/6 = 1/3.
If you switch then you would be right in cases 1 to 4. so 4/6 = 2/3
The easiest way to explain why in that case it's always statically better to switch is this. In the beginning, you have three doors, and only one of them is the current choice. So you have a 1/3 chance of being correct, and a 2/3 of being incorrect. They key to understanding this is lies in changing your perspective from trying to "win" to trying to lose.
Let's say you were intentionally trying to lose, then in this case, the door you choose at first has a 66.6% chance of being the correct choice (losing choice).
Now, regardless of which door you chose at first, the host will always eliminate one of the options by revealing it. So now, you're left with two doors ; one of them is the winning door, and the other is the losing door. This is where people trip up all the time. If there are only two doors left, then people think your chances of winning are only 50/50 no matter which you choose. That is true... but only if you started with two doors... which we didn't
Think back to the beginning. The door you randomly choose among the three options had a 66.6% chance of being wrong. That doesn't change even after one of the door has been eliminated. So if you don't choose to switch, your chances of losing are 66.6%. But since you know that, 66.6% of the time, if you switch, you will win.. It works out to be that always switching will be the correct choice 66.6% of the time.
This requires quite a bit of critical thinking. Most people, honestly speaking, won't be able to wrap their heads around this.
Actually I think it's just
C g g
g C g
g g C
The goats' position dont matter
This is wrong here.
“ That doesn't change even after one of the door has been eliminated.”
It changes. What is failed to be accounted for is that it’s a separate instance of time.
It’s very low probability to flip a coin heads 100 times in a row. However, if you flip a coin heads 99 times in a row, and you are now in that instance of time, what are the chances you flip heads?
50/50
@Mistral Wind You know it's been proven that it is mathematically better to swap right?
About the monty hall problem, basically knowing where the 2nd goat was is not going to change your initial 33% chance on getting the car, so mathematicly, choosing the other door is more likely (66%) to have the car, because in terms of %chance, you are not likely to select the car in the first place.
Exactly, the host opening a wrong door doesn't change your decision at the end to change or not. It would be exactly the same if you picked 1 door and he asks would you like to change to BOTH the other doors? Which you of course would do
Exactly, the fact the host always reveals a goat form the remaining doors means that we gain no new information about the door we initially picked. If Monty reveals randomly then the odds of our door increase but as the problem is presented our initial choice stays at 1/3 odds.
Sneaky probably thinks having 66% crit chance is the same as having 33% crit chance, because it is still just luck if he crits or not
Just replying to make you cringe at yourself on this comment
"Sneaky, do you not understand the concept of infinity?"
I'm glad that ultimately, you can't argue with math. It took me some time to come around on that Monty Hall problem, but I'm now enlightened.
and wrong 😆
A class in probability, this is what I've come to expect from Doublelift podcasts. What I've learned: The Triple Monkey Theorem
These were the best 10 Minutes of my life in the beginning here. I will come back and hear them talk about the infinite monkey theorem.
trueee I had to come back to this
i died when chat said "100 Doors vs Immortals?" lmao
@Doublelift, 38:15 your target is switching because the game thinks that Akshan is killing his first target, therefore the second shot is going to the other practice dummy
I'm glad that everyone in twitch chat is an expert on the Monty Hall problem
In this episode: Sneaky doesn't understand infinity
"What if there was an infinite monkey theorem but for league? like after an amount of time you just become faker" I mean, kind of what happened with Fudge. Dude went from an absolute ape his first split to one of the best top laners in LCS.
He was already good at the start, other pro's and analysts vouched for that, he was probably just super nervous or adjusting to a new environment
Bruh fudge had already completed at works before joining c9. He didn't just come out of nowhere some random ape lol.. he's been training and prepping to be a pro for years now. He's looked pretty bad recently but ide say overall c9 has developed him well
Back to an ape
Re: the Monty Hall problem, the solution can be more easily visualized with 1000 doors. Say you choose the first door. Then, there are 999/1000 scenarios in which the car is in the other 999 doors.
If the host opens 998 doors, the chance that the car is in the other 999 doors has not changed. Since we know 998/999 doors don't have the goat and *your door chance has not changed*, the other door would have a 999/1000 chance of containing the car.
Essentially, you have a 1/1000 chance of choosing the correct door off the bat, and a 999/1000 chance of the car being in "the other doors". Opening 998 doors does not change the chance of the car being in the other doors, ergo 999/1000 chance.
I think it's easiest by just removing any of the percentage/maths talk and reducing it purely to scenarios. You have 3 scenarios: you pick the first goat, you pick the second goat, or you pick the car. In both of the scenarios where you pick a goat you should switch, so in 2 out of 3 scenarios you need to switch.
@@Sirhaddock Haven't heard this explanation earlier, that's a good one too!
@Mistral Wind that's not how maths works. You can make a program that simulates this problem and switching makes you win 66%+ of the time. Switching objectively gives you a higher chance of winning, it doesn't balance out. One has a 2/3 chance of winning and the other has a 1/3 chance, it's just a bigger number.
Three minutes in and Sneaky trying to comprehend the infinite is pretty hilarious.
The 100 door one actually makes it a lot easier to understand. There’s no way you’re picking the car door on the first try so when it’s brought down to the last two doors it has to be the other one based on the initial probability
@Vinny Morrison it is based on the initial probability though, especially with the 100 door one. You are almost guaranteed to pick a goat door on the first try because its literally a 99% chance you do. If you're left with two doors, it doesn't automatically become a 50/50 because you know that the one that you chose initially is probably a goat. Free car
That beginning describes so many people in so many areas of life.
this is the content i really want
31:50 Lmao Ssumday switches to naut while he has GA and loses his GA and so he dies instantly instead. Thats hilarious.
@doublelift I stopped the video 17:15 and wrote a program to test out the Monty Hall Problem. I had to know. My initial reaction was the same as Sneaky and Meteos, that the probability gets "reset" after he shows a door, and you're left with a 50/50 chance. After I ran the simulation that took my afternoon away from work, where I was already being distracted by this video, I couldn't believe the results. Every time I ran it, out of 100 games, if you stayed, you had 25%-40% win percentage. And EVERY time I ran it with it switching doors at the end, out of 100 games, you had a 60%-75% win percentage. Sneaky just want's to stay cause he believes in his crit :D
Meteos is right in that, as the host, knowing which door has the car and actually picking the others to show the contestant is the difference. An example of both are the classic monty hall problem based on the old game show "Lets Make A Deal" where switching is in the contestants best interest. However, if the host doesn't know where the car is and opens doors at random, in the event there are two doors left (with the car behind one of those doors) its a literal 50/50 chance. An example of this can be seen in the game show "Deal or No Deal" where the contestant actually picks the door to open each time (obviously the constant wouldn't know which door the prize is behind because it would be a pointless show lol).
You got it exactly right!
Dude wtf Meteos' explanation was so good
The monty hall one ✨
Meteos's explanation at 20:00 is essentially the example that statistics professors explain but even they dont understand it
Listening to you three talk shit and commentate is simply beautiful. Keep this going!
Finished the last video just as this was uploaded, double Doublelift
The easiest way to understand the Monty Hall problem is realizing the host didn't open that last door for a reason. Taking doublelift's 100 doors and 98 are opened idea, why exactly would the host open all of those 98 doors and not the ONE left besides yours if it wasn't important?
There is technical and pretty abstract math behind it that I was forced to learn for pharmacy pre-reqs but this thought process was the "oh okay" moment for me. Hope this helps!
Wait... so you're saying my BoRK, Wits End, Hullbreaker build isn't viable?
9:13 Sneaky says "if it's a monkey" and I see Kobe in the back flailing his arms like some kind of monkey lmao
Without a doubt the most entertaining costream you 3 have done!

Except you know, hes right about a lot.
Michael Duff maybe if you’re bronze you would think that way 😆
100%
Yeah I agree he’s a broken clock omegalul XD send the discord link btw
We need a podcast in offseasons please i dont want to go without this content 😂
Some of the hardest I have laughed in a while.. Thanks!
man that's content !!! much love
Imagine there's an infinite amount of doors. You pick one, then Monty Hall opens every other door revealing monkeys with typewriters. What are the odds one of those monkeys can use F keys in League?
10 minutes of 3 Monkeys talking about infinite monkeys. This is the content we need in the LCS
Say that there's 3 people that each get 3 doors to choose from (9 doors in total). They all pick different doors (2 of them pick the goat and 1 picks the car). As long as the host shows each person the door that has the goat, if everyone switches, the 2 people who pick the goat gets the car, and the one person who picked the car gets the goat. The fact that 2 of the 3 people can get the car means that when you switch, there's a 2/3 chance that you get the car assuming that each person represents a different scenario whether you pick door A, B, or C. After all, this is just probability. It doesn't guarantee your chances of getting the car, but rather it helps you get in a better position going from a 33% chance to a 66% chance. The chances were not based on what doors were left (a 50/50), but it's based on what door you picked initially and if the host ALWAYS reveals the goat.
Yes, but actually no, the other door also has 1/3 of having the car, it still 33% at the end.
@@gabrielsgrottmoreira3149 Are you talking about that there's a 33% chance the host shows a car after you picked your door? If so, I'm only talking about all scenarios where the host always shows the goat after you picked the door.
@@damusagi Half of the possibilities are that you are wrong at changing the door, but I don't know how to prove it so...
But I understand that your point is that we have 66% at being wrong at the first guess.
@@gabrielsgrottmoreira3149 "I can prove it but I don't know how to," then you can't prove it, lol.
If you have 1000 doors, one leads to a car, 999 leads to nothing. If you pick a door then eliminate 998 doors that contain nothing, you SHOULD SWITCH because that last door has a high chance of being the car, as the 998 doors were eliminated proving that THEY WERE NOTHING so you have a higher chance of being correct. One is a 0.1% chance of being the car, the other is 99.99%.
@@JohnDoe-vb3fk I mean mathematical proof, because it's a statistic problem.
You have n options, 1 is right the other are wrong, as you select one answer n-2 wrong answers are excluded, what is the chance of the other option being the correct?
I know that 1/2= 0.5, but doesnt mean that this is a proof nor your comment does proves anything.
3 monkeys trying to explain to each other math. -2021 colorized.
Dead ass I love these videos so much cuz it reminds me of me and my homies chillin in chat shittin on everything
Peter please start a podcast with these three. It would be the best thing to listen to
The better way to explain the Monty Hall problem: If you pick one door and the host gives you the opportunity to swap to choosing both of the other two doors, then it's better. Because that's essentially what he's offering by both revealing a door and letting you switch. Bless Sneaky for refusing to accept it at first though. That man has more brain cells than most people.
Your explanation is actually the worst one possible and it only given by others who know the answer but not the reason why it doubles.
@@klaus7443 You seem fun at parties
@@MrBlahblah22 Well it is true that giving the chance to switch to both other doors is the worst possible explanation because in that case the host doesn't even need to know where the car is. That makes it a different math problem altogether.
@@klaus7443 it is also true that you're not fun at parties
A bit late for the party but the reasoning for changing your door of choice is the following:
Case 1: You have chosen door 1 with the car. The Gamemaster opens door 2 and chosing another door doesnt make sense.
Case 2: you have chosen door 2 and the gamemaster opens door 3, bc he is not allowed to open the door with the car. Changing you choice benefits you.
Case 3: You have chosen door 3 and the gamemaster opens door 2. Basicly the same that applies to case 2. Changing benefits you.
In 2 out of 3 cases it benefits you changing the door. Thats why your chances increase.
The explaination is confusing and doesnt make sense of the time, but this example helped me understanding it.
Love this video format
Given an infinite amount of time, Sneaky will eventually understand the Monty Hall problem
Watched the whole stream on Twitch VODs (since I can't wait) but came here to like the video and comment just to boost it in the algorithm.
Watch one day way way too long away this occurs and people come back to this specific video hahaha
Sneaky: If it was corpse res back into a teamfight, that's not balanced.
riot: introducing Renata!
The only time I've ever had a build that eventually got adapted to pro play was when ekko first dropped. I ran IBG and Visage on him in mid. And it was awful. But eventually, someone way better than me made it work in the top lane.
For the next co-stream I beg you give them the Schrödinger's cat paradox think that would be hilarious
Ougi taught me the Monty Hall Problem, since then I've seen it appear in tons of other places it's great
finally the triple monkey theorem, the classic conundrum
I want to hear them talk about the Ship of Theseus now >:)
I think modern CLG is proof that the Ship isn't the same once you've replaced all the parts.
Sneaky: "If it was corpse res back into a teamfight, that's just not balanced"
Riot team working on new S12 drakes: "hmm"
doubepiss philosoph of the year, also if they have one random moment of enligtement and they're right, they deserve props as monkey whom written that shakespear
Man when they started talking about the vaccine, it was funny watching all the anti-vaxxers reveal themselves
sneaky cannot fathom the concept of infinity
i just realised ga on veigo wont proc when he takes over someone
Sneaky is actually trolling
They say this about bowling. There has been so many games bowled that there is no new pin patterns paths and or solutions. For a single frame.
It took me so fucking long to adapt my head around the Monty Hall Theory
It's going to take some more time yet, guaranteed.
The monty hall problem is provable to be correct, if you run the simulation (with a random door selection program) it will show that switching doors will increase your likelihood. This has been done before, it’s a hard problem to explain intuitively and even mathematicians strongly disagreed on the topic.
"and even mathematicians strongly disagreed on the topic.", do you mean in the past? Because I'm pretty sure any mathematician will agree on the topic now
@@TimmehTRP Yeah well Marilyn vos Savant answered the question in the 70's I think (she was at the time the smartest female). And many male mathematicians called her dumb and a fraud. But these people were mainly low level profs.
Sneaky: You have to discard math to solve a probability problem.
Me: Seems legit
cleaned up co-stream VOD upload meta is my favorite
maths says yes but sneaky says no so, NO
btw the monty halll problem is hard
@@gerard7835 Why is it hard?
@Phúc Phan people like sneaky have trouble understanding abstract mathematical concepts. As double lift said he’s a practical person and can struggle with the hypothetical extremes. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had trouble with algebra in school. But it doesn’t mean people that don’t understand it are dumb, it just doesn’t click to those who value the literal, clearly observable realities. Therefore I wouldn’t say it’s easy in an objective sense, bc there’s lots of literal thinkers like sneaky in the world who aren’t even unintelligent. Abstract math really can be tough for the human brain to grasp. For me, the concept of infinity is truly crazy to think about
“Save us Meteos you’re our only hope”
“Nah y’all fukin suck”
oh no ... sneaky went full on
11:08 Skip the Sneak
They went from a thought experiment about probability to discussing the process of evolution
It's actually kind of triggering to see sneaky so sure of himself when he is so wrong xD
The easiest way to think about the monty hall problem is considering the choice between switch/no switch instead of which door. If you say no switch, you pick a door with 33% chance and don't even consider the information that comes after that. If you say switch, you effectively open two doors, one is opened by the host and the other by you, combining into a 66% chance when switching.
DL just saying the less you know about something, the more you feel you know about it. Common in people everywhere across any topic.
Dunning-Kruger effect for those who are curious
On Akshan its because the game thinks the first dummy is dying so it puts the second shot on the full life dummy. Just like Lucian double shot ability when you cast it on a dying minion.
I love the timestamp!!!! hahaha
This was genuinely funny jesus
The infinite monkey theorem section made me laugh way too hard
sneaky cant handle theoretical infinity experiments
DL, Meteos, and Sneaky's reactions to the Monty Hall Problem made me think something:
Sneaky is my Id, aggressively defending my initial stance and feeling despite the lack of understanding
Meteos is my Superego, accepting myself being wrong and understanding the reasoning behind the right answer to the problem
DL is my Ego, not giving a fuck and enjoying the discussion
tbh I probably got the Id, Ego, and Superego part wrong but it's still fun
