The lighter side
The recent thread about pot odds, and the difficulty some have of wrapping their heads around such concept, brought back some nostalgic memories for me, including the incredable time I had trying to sort out the advanced mathematical concepts of Reverse Implied Tilt Odds and their derivatives!
Allow me to elaborate...
I was struggling with the entire concept in general, but was having the most devilish time with the general formula for computing tip amounts while contemplating an over-call of a loose-passive cross-dressing male in a lavender flowered sundress! As everyone now knows, this is simply the null solution of the derivative of the general tip-overcall-transgender formula with respect to r-prime (where r-prime is the rake) or r-double-prime (where r-double-prime is the time charge.) Anyway, I was stuggling! And to the forum I went for help!
Such simple questions are often met with sarcasm and ridicule, but my early post were answer straight away, in the most helpful manner. Much of the early credit must go to ScottyZ.
For those not familiar with ScottyZ's work; he was the pioneer into early advanced trunk-monkey mathematical research; the original designer of the portable-trunk-monkey-poker-processor (which allowed table-side calculations to made almost instantaniously); author of such papers as: "How to Power Your Portable-Trunk-Monkey-Poker-Proccessor for Less Than 30 Big Blinds A Day" and "Convincing the Floor That a Portable-Trunk-Monkey-Poker-Proccessor Does Not Violate The One-Player-To-A-Hand Rule." In addition, he was the winner of a the infamous bubblegum bet, where he bet (and won) that he could use advanced trunk-monkey mathematics to place sub-conscious suggestions into the heads of total strangers... really crazy stuff... like having them spontaniously play famous gum-jingles at the beginning of nationally televised sports talk shows!
Much speculation of his dissapearance centers around his continued research into parallel-portable-trunk-monkey-processors... er... or portable-parallel-trunk-monkey-processors... er... or whatever... and as we all know... one trunk-monkey is enough!!
Of course, deep study of advanced trunk monkey mathematics has led to an increase in infiniOPbluritis: an inoperable condition that causes the OP to lose his train of thought...
Have a nice day!
