Re: Doomsday Thereom
Let me make a simpler analougy for this.
I get N people, give them all a number between 1 and N randomly, as in put the numbers 1 to N in a big hat and let them draw from it.
This will give each person a random number between 1 and N, and it will be ordered as you put it.
Suppose I chose N randomly to begin with.
If a person drew the number 3 from the hat, there is a 50% chance that N<6.
