Some Thoughts on Advertising Terminology

[Tad Carlucci]

Well, go on believing that the odds are 2-in-3 and when you can't do better than 2-in-4 you can complain about the randomness not being "fair"

You have two parents, both showing Curious, both known to hide Mysterious. The offspring shows Curious: the odds of the offspring hiding Mysterious are 1-in-2. Yes, when you do the production chart for the parents there are three slots showing Curious and, yes, two of those slots hide Mysterious. But that does not make the odds 2-in-3 .. the odds are 1-in-2.

Known: offspring shows curious
Therefor Known: one parent passed Curious.
