can anyone solve this:
* A fair coin is tossed until 2 consecutive heads appear. What is the probability that this will happen within the first n tosses?

This is an example of what I just mentioned in the posting on further improvements to kurakani. Two unregistered users started a thread on open kurakani (which is totally fine). _BP, a registered user responded. on kurakani we see only _BP's response, and have no idea what is going on.

Personally, I prefer to be a commoner than a self proclaimed intellectual so economy class is just fine with me.
Oh there I go another anonymous poster who doesn't write about developing Nepal or changing the world or knows Noam Chumsky(?).

I could care less about classes and anyways I've pointed out it was bad analogy and so has Arnico, but you see some of us have been so cornered to be credible that if I wanted to continue posting under this name, I would HAVE to register!!
Also, my registering had more to do with being a credible poster and less to do with being with any class. And the way things were going - you have to admit - there was a lot of crap flying around and I didn't want any on me face :).
Cheers

-BP ji
sittai payo bhandaima kina business class ma jane? When i am in economy class i can enjoy several coveted opportunities:
1. i can go home as many times as i want , i dont need to pre plan and i dont give a damn what i am carrying in my bag( however i try to be aware not to carry forbidden goods).
2. Since i dont get complimentary flattering and apple polishing( booze et al), there wont be any euphoria for being aboard , that means i dont forget who i am and what i am no matter what others think.
3.I dont have to meticulously dress up as long as i look decent.
4. I dont have to care when I speak to my fellow PASSENGER. I dont need to tell how many times i fly each week , how i hang out with celebrities and big shots and what i do for my living. I dont have to boast that i am a head hunted professional with out whom the company would stop working.
5. i dont have to pretend to fall asleep or to concentrate on my lap top when fellow passenger talk some thing that goes right above my head. i can simply show my teeth and say sorry i dunno / i am not interested. That saves my time from reading genetics text book before boarding when a fellow passenger in last flight happened to talk about cloning .
6. I dont need to give my tin puste to the steward( not applicable to all flights, only to gbnc flight)
7. No need of fake smile, acknowledgement and other formalities. I DONT HAVE TO CARE WHAT BUSINESS CLASS PASSANGER THINK ABOUT ME.
8. I feel comfortable even if i forget to put on clone, as long as i dont stink. I dont have to impress any one. I can speak in kam chalau english.
7. As long as all passengers share the same terminal , enter the craft thru same door and pay same amount , I dont really see any relevance to divide the craft into such divisions. I shall think first before i decide to give up all my liberties and enter into business class but there are some pretty problems
9. Isnt it ironic for bussiness class people to see some of the naked and dirty economy class people go to their seat in front of them?
i dont know why emergency is imposed when few people are misusing some of the fireworks they got foc. and then people like me have to suffer.Bussiness class ki jaya
