    Toronto Blue Jays play in the same division as the wankees and boston, competed agaist all the american teams (and the expos(montreal)), got into the playoffs and won the lot. Expansion teams, the home of capitalism will let anyone play provided you stump up the cash.

    The 99, I thought it was someting to do with the size of the flake bar?

    What is the little pocket of the right-hand side of a pair of jeans?

    It's a condom pocket.

    it was designed in the 1800's to hold a time piece and the design stayed ever since

    Because asking questions is pure fun. (Why? Just because, sweetheart, just because...!)

    Because there are always more unanswerable questions than unquestionable answers

    Also, answers may require thought and something resembling hard work - that's probably out of the question for me right now....

    1. A coin has an equal chance of heads or tails.

    2. Also if you throw a coin, the number of heads and tails will average out evenly over time.

    So if you throw an unusually large number of heads, surely the tails have to catch up, to make (2) work.

    But if they did that, then they wouldn't be obeying rule (1)

    The coin doesn't have any memory of the previous result so I don't think it would actually even out over time.

    In fact, the more times you throw a coin the less chance there is of the number of heads and tails being equal.

    Why is Saturdays National Lottery prize money always almost twice as much as wednesdays?
    I know Camelot allege not as many people do mid week draws-which could have been the case when 1st introduced -but who checks this claim?
    I would be gutted if the numbers i put on on saturday came out on wednesdays draw and i hadn't entered them.

    this is a good one! I could be wrong and have no formal statistics training, so probably am wrong, but..... if you toss a coin once, the chance of getting heads is 1 in 2. flip it a again and the chance if getting tails is 1 in 2. BUT if you said you wanted to flip and heads AND a tails in two flips, the chance is 1in 4. the odds get longer the more flips you do.

    Heads I win, tails you lose.
