Gary - the numbers are assigned at random to all members. They change every month. Therefore, his number could have even been #1.

Seriously, though, what a great welcome to the Brotherhood of the Blade. Hope you enjoy the knives, Mark. Both of them are on my purchase list.

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks Kelly, more info I didn't know!

Spark, do you have it so you can only win once?

Or is it possible to win again?

[Spark]

Theoretically you could win twice, but I don't think that's going to happen.

The topic header really got me going for a minute, till I read the posts. Too bad I'm the wrong Mark in Ohio. Congrats to the right Mark.

 

[Stompy]

Chances that the same person could win the knives every month are equal to the chances of different people winning, right?

------------------
Yeah! Drop the chalupa...

 

[chetchat]

Congrats Mark!!! Hell of a welcome!

You'll have to forgive me as probabilities weren't something I paid a lot of attention to, but IIRC...

The chances of you winning remain the same every month (decreasing, of course, for the number of new members). The chances of a person winning twice are a lot less likely.

It's like flipping a quarter 100 times. Sure, it could be heads every time, but while there's a 50% chance on each through that it will be heads, the long term probabilities of that happening diminish with each throw.

Congrats Mark!
Now go play lotto!

 

[David1967]

If you ask the question: How low is the probability someone will win TWICE in a row? The answer is: the chance is very low (1:16 000 000 with 4000 members).

But the chance for the person to win again is the SAME as for the rest of us (1:4000)- unless you enter his name once and the rest of us twice for example.
