Re: Mahatma[no content]
There are so many, one wouldn't even know where to begin.
I'm sure this happens more often than one would think, but I have never seen anything like this. It seems so sick.

Re: Theoretical All-In Call
As already pointed out. This is an entirely different situation not immediately comparable to OP's scenario.
That being said, I agree with RBK.

I think the problem with your question is that you (maybe purposely) leave out important information. Consider the equity you are giving up if villian is able to do this 1 out of 100 times, maybe 1...

Really stupid question.
If you ever consider folding here, leave the table immediately - because you are clearly playing way out of your comfort zone.

Re: txaq007\'s Inescapable Error
Since formal logic as we know it was invented by Frege, there is no answer as to what 'logic' Euclid used. He did not use formal logic in his reasoning.

Re: txaq007\'s Inescapable Error
Once again, I ask you two simple questions and you only answer one of them.

"But, does that mean that before Peano/Frege no one could be certain that '2 + 2 = 4' (is true)?"
Yes....

Re: txaq007\'s Inescapable Error
Whether or not mathematicians were certain about the truth of Fermat's theorem is irrelevant in respect to it being a mathematical certainty.

I don't know why you're making a big stink about this. It's not so hard to admit that "certainty" (i.e., 100% true) requires proof, is it?

I think it would be normal to define a mathematical certainty as something that can be proved mathematically; so no unless you cheat.

Ok I see. However, that was not what David seemed to be talking about. In fact I do not think that was what he meant.
And, if we are talking about certainty of belief, then I conjecture that there...

But there is a problem chezlaw.
Assume for the sake of argument that the Goldbach conjecture is true. If it is true, then it is also certain.
