I am 18, I go to college and I live with my parents at the moment, but they are buying a new house in summer and they say I am not coming with them and that I will have to move out. I turn 19 in summer (19 is the age of majority where I live).

I have only under 200$ now and I don't have a job. I will be getting student loan in mid-september (here in Canda student loans are disbursed for every semester). It will give me about 600$ a month to live on which will be probably enough for me to survive through college. But until september I will have no money and nowhere to live. I probably won't starve to death thanks to food banks, but I am afraid of the idea of having to live on the streets for 2-3 months. I don't know what the **** to do.

I still love my ex girlfriend (we broke up almost a year ago) but one day she said that I am not the one for her.. At that point I was hurt like I never felt before. I don't know if I can still love her because she ditched me, but I do still have feelings for her and I can't do anything about it.

But not so long ago I've met someone else which turned out that she really likes me, so we started dating. But I still have very strong feelings for my ex, I don't even know if it's lust or something opposite of that. I want her to know that now I am with someone else and see how she feels. So I am thinking of sending her my used condom? Should I do it?

[QUOTE="Lokantis"][QUOTE="lazzordude"]no its not,you only had a 33% chance of picking it right on the first try...therefore when the host eleminates a wrong choice your left with your original pick and 1 remaining choice.you are essentually picking if you think your first choice is right or wrong.for a new car would you take a 33% or a 66% chance of winning?thats why you switchlazzordude

It's not 66%. The overal chance of winning the car if you switch doors is 50%. If you don't it's 33%. I made a simple program to simulate that and run it 1000 times.

so your saying if you switch its 50% but if you dont its 33%,well where did the other 33% go?see your math is flawed

Maybe try to simulate it with playing cards and see for yourself?

and its not "the other 33%", its 17% which represents the case where your first choice is the door with car AND you don't switch

[QUOTE="lazzordude"]you switch and heres why....when you orignally pick you have a 1/3 chance of picking it right.2/3 times your wrong,now when he narrows it down to 2 most people think the odds improve to 1/2 but they are mistaken.when you switch you are saying that your first guess is wrong which is true 2/3 of the time.lazzordude

Lol wut?

Dude... you have two doors left... the car is behind one of the two.

Your first guess is irrelevant:|

No, if you switch, your chances become 1/2, not 2/3.

The answer is yes, if you switch the doors you will have 50% chance of winning, if you dont, you will have 33% chance still because when you chose that first door the first time you had 33% (three doors)

Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

[QUOTE="bededog"]I'm pretty sure it's because people don't want to see it.Scott_Malkinson

Personally I don't mind it at all. There are many much more disgusting things people do in public, like smoke weed

Last I checked, smoking weed in public is also illegal.

Yet, no one does a crap about it. At least not in my city (Vancouver)
