There was an extremely funny bug in my simulation code. I fixed it and now it gets the same result up to three decimal points when I run 10,000,000 trials

can some mutual double check my math?

Suppose you have a deck of cards with four suits numbered 1-14, and 22 trump cards, making 78 cards in total. Suppose you are dealt 15 cards and then given 1 additional card. What is the probability the additional card is has the same number of some other suited card in your hand?

the result is inconsistent with some brute force simulations I am doing in some code which is telling me that about 35.6% of the time the 16th card is a repeated suited card

@aschmitz @aescling I have had textural issues my entire life and the texture of tap water is deeply unpleasant to me which is the only reason i am doing all of this

@aschmitz @aescling our roommates took the water filter for a two-week vacation that some neighbors also went on. i am catsitting for these neighbors so I have using their filtered water. i'm tasking using old jugs of distilled water cat and i used for our coffee, filling them with our neighbor's filtered water, and cat and i are drinking that as our drinking water

@aschmitz @aescling I have made a lot of miso soup the past few days which I guess makes it make sense
