All software will end up having some server element for this reason.

You can't look at the expected value of a ticket. Only at the expected value of the game. Some fixed points are easy to work out. Buy 5000 tickets you guarantee to lose 2500 as you don't get your stake back. Buy 1 ticket and you have 1/5000 of winning 2499 minus 4999/5000 chance of losing 1. so have almost an expected value of the game of -0.5

Generally p[n_] := (n/5000)(2500 - n) - n((5000 - n)/5000)

In[2]:= FullSimplify[p[n]]

Out[2]= -(n/2)

So the more you buy the more you lose, and as other have said optimal is zero tickets.

Even if it's basic, more people should be writing parallel code. Good to keep putting this kind of thing in their faces.

XP is 9 years old and it still hasn't died. If MS start adding features to it like this, it will encourage people to stay with it. Let it die! There are better OSs and I don't just mean Windows 7.

According to Mathematica... In[1]:= Expectation[x, Distributed[x,OrderDistribution[{UniformDistribution[{0, 1}], n}, 1]]]

Out[1]= 1/(1 + n)

For a linear system, row reduction will always yield a redundant variable, that can be any value you want.

If its for testing, it doesn't matter if its slow. You just need to know how much slower than the real hardware will be and scale the test results accordingly.

They will only have pulled out for one reason. They aren't making any money.

The way to stop this activity is to cost them money by responding to them with questions and arguments. Lawyers are expensive, they don't want to spend time writing custom letters to you.

Unless, of course, you have been stealing music, in which case you are just increasing the costs that you will have to pay when you lose!

Its difficult because hardly anyone wants no-OS PCs and so no-one from the shop floor to the accountants has thought through or practised the procedure.
