P.D. Magnus<p>If a fertilized egg counts as a child, then a human chimera (who consists of cells from two fertilized eggs) is two people. They should be able to vote twice in Alabama, killing them should count as double homicide, and so on. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/parity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alabama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alabama</span></a></p>

So if you have 500mb to backup onto a 650mb disc, you can fill the remaining 150mb with redundant <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/parity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parity</span></a> data. On linux, the “par2” tool can work out how best to uniformly generate redundancy data. Then if the data suffers corruption due to scratches, there’s a good chance of being able to recover using the parity data.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/par2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>par2</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@tommythorn" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tommythorn</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://bitbang.social/@NanoRaptor" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>NanoRaptor</span></a></span></p>
Christian Lawson-Perfect<p>Here's a nice puzzle from Tanya Khovanova's blog, who says she saw it on Facebook:</p><p>There are 100 cards with integers from 1 to 100. You have three possible scenarios: you pick 18, 19, or 20 cards at random. For each scenario, you need to estimate the probability that the sum of the cards is even. You do not need to do the exact calculation; you just need to say whether the probability is less than, equal to, or more than 1/2.</p><p><a href="https://blog.tanyakhovanova.com/2023/12/a-probability-puzzle-from-facebook/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.tanyakhovanova.com/2023/1</span><span class="invisible">2/a-probability-puzzle-from-facebook/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/probability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>probability</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/puzzle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>puzzle</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/parity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parity</span></a></p>
