Your wit has no bounds... unlike a definite integral.

Anyhoo, did you check with mith already since it sounds like it could be a mafia variant? If so, /in.

That's a good thing for the killer. 1 is the least suspicious. 13 would be your most suspicious. Anyway, getting the killer in that is only a good thing if we can recognize him before the final 3.

Because the plot twist is going to be that we're all the same. Integration hasn't happened in the town yet.

Assuming players are eliminated one at a tim, the chances of eliminating the mole, C, can be defined as 1/P, where P is the number of players remaining.
The change in players each elimination, dP/dE will be -1 as only 1 player is eliminated at a time.
The change in chances each elimination, dC/dE, is equal to (-1/P^2)dP/dE. Substituting the value of dP/dE, dC/dE is equal to 1/P^2
Since dP/dE is negative, then the number of players each week is decreasing, meaning that as P->0, 1/P^2 increases.

This all means that we can improve our chances of finding the mole by eliminating players.

WOW DID I JUST SERIOUSLY WASTE 5 MINUTES ON THAT???

... Wow. Scummy. You do realize that it's the same (greater chance of hitting scum with less players) in Mafia, right? That doesn't mean we advocate the deaths of our fellow players.

SharkFinn wrote:Lol. Yep. But it's fact.

Same with normal games. Except the odds change pending on the number of mafia. I'd rather not do more work considering 2 moles, but I feel as though I should keep up the math jokes.

lol... now I have to find some random way to bring Taylor series in here.

I was thinking recently that it's too bad that 1-2+3-4... doesn't actually equal 1/4. That would be awesome. Even more awesome than e^(ix) = cosx + isinx and .99999... = 1 combined.

He means you can't eliminate him until Final 3, which means your earlier calculations are off (since they assume that the killer could be picked at any time, as in Mafia).

As for being known as the killer, I'm with dana. If everyone thinks you're the killer, but you're innocent, that just means that you'll survive until the end (probably making you even more suspicious) and then the killer will win once you're voted out at Final 3.

... The killer is a 'second party role'. XD

But yes, I wanted to be the killer too, just as much as I want to be scum in Mafia games.

Well... I'm the deciding vote, huh?

I don't think we should go around saying who we least suspect. It's for the same reason that "town lists" could be bad in Mafia. Letting the killer know who most people think is town gives him/her a good kill target.

But they don't actually have to be polynomials. 6t^2 is a monomial, but if you derive it 3 times, you get 0. Still, it still works if they're polynomials, so... yeaaaaaaaah.

... Booooooo! (directed at LL)

Oh well, link works for me.

Btw, Blackberry is the killer. Trying to paint me as the killer for revealing something that I did not, in fact, reveal. If the killer was dumb enough to actually believe TheBadOne was working as bait (which he wasn't since Blackberry's not dumb), he wouldn't have known what I was getting at with my earlier post.

I got my killer-killing gun sights on you, Blackbuddy.

Wait...

Kage - I think I actually told you who I suspected or didn't suspect at one point to see if they would get killed by the killer or something.

1. Of course not, old buddy.

2. Yerp, you probably did.
