Re: Futurama Question
[ QUOTE ]
Vaguely worded question, so I'll just answer this: After how many seconds do we expect him to have only a 50/50 chance of not having blown up?
(198/199)^N = 0.5
Then round up to the nearest second, I come up with 138 seconds, which is exactly what LetYouDown came up with, so I guess that's confirmation.

That's the answer to the second question I asked, but note that this is different from the question the OP asked. He is asking for the mean, while I was asking for the median.
