- Question:-Matt Barnes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
OKAY!!! I HAVE TO KNOW THIS!!!! DID Barnes leave???? oh i really hope not! I still can't believe J. Rich got traded! But I'm glad they're keepin MONTA ELLIS! Biedrins is okay, he has no arch on his free-throws... but his dunks and lay ups r GREAT!!!!!!! but i sit at theend of my couch wen i watch the games, and i gotta know if Barnes is stayin!
Answer:-yes matt barnes is still here 4 now. the warriors will probably keep him since they freed up alot of cap room by moving richardson and he was a big piece in getting gs into the playoffs. yea richardson was the face of the warriors but baron davis is a much bigger star. - Question:-Is Matt Barnes going to slow down the Lakers with his elbow throwing?
It seems like Matt Barnes has been playing dirty for a long time, without getting caught. Will this mess up the playoff repeat?
Answer:-I think so they will get caugh sense they have a few dirty players on the team like barnes bynum theres a few more - Question:-Now that Matt Barnes has signed with the Lakers, how is he going to play alongside Kobe?
Matt Barnes is a pest.
Great. I've never seen so many positive answers to the Kobe/Matt issue. Thanks to everyone.
Answer:-Kobe personally convinced Barnes to join the Lakers. He and Artest are going to shake up alot of softies this year. I can tell you that. - Question:-What did Kobe say in the news about Matt Barnes?
To many bleeps and I turned to the interview as it was going off. I think it was on channel two last night. They were interviewing him and the Matt Barnes topic came up and Kobe just started cussing like crazy.
Answer:-Kobe said that he knew Matt Barnes wasn't going to do shit.(not in the link) He also said it was just kinda funny to him. You can see the a video of him talking about it here in the sources.
btw the stars block the word, the word is S....H....I....* - Question:-Which player should Phil Jackson start at his starting SF? between Ron Artest and Matt Barnes?
Keep Artest in the lineup because he is a better lock down defender?
Try Matt Barnes because he more faster has better offense and can also defend other players
Your Opinions?
Answer:-They should start Matt Barnes not because he's better than Artest, but because he's faster and that this move would motivate Artest to becoming the person he was once was. - Question:-Is it just me or does Matt Barnes look like Johny Knoxville?
I dont know. Every time i watch basketball and Matt Barnes (Orlando Magics) is playing, it makes me think of Johny Knoxville (Jackass). I think they favor each other. To me the look alike.
What do you think?
Answer:-it's just you. - Question:-Should I start Matt Barnes, Al Thornton, or Kevin Durant this week in fantasy?
Should I start Matt Barnes or Al Thornton in fantasy bball week 2. I was impressed with Matt Barnes game last week but don't know if he will keep up these great numbers. Thornton will probably be consistent but I don't know if his numbers will be enough. And Durant, I think is just so inconsistent with his numbers and his field goal percentage is terrible. Who do you think I should start?
Answer:-Kevin Durant is the biggest star of the 3 and will get the most scoring opp's. Al Thornton is playing well and is a close 2. Barnes shares minutes with Hill. - Question:-If and When Matt Barnes comes back for the Lakers should they start him over Ron Artest?
Matt Barnes was a very good player in the starting lineup for the Magic at the SF spot Barnes is more of a fit in the triangle then Ron Artest and maybe Ron Artest could be a key piece of the bench along side of Lamar Odom
PG-Derek Fisher/Steve Blake
SG-Kobe Bryant/Shannon Brown
SF-Matt Barnes/Ron Artest
PF-Pau Gasol/Lamar Odom
C-Andrew Bynum
Answer:-Yes he should, it would help a lot. Especially against the elite teams. - Question:-Why do girls like Matt Barnes so much?

powerball
- Question:-powerball?
do you know of any african american people that has won the powerball in the past?
Note:i am a black guy so this is not a racist question
Answer:-I don't know anyone who has won Powerball. You'd really have to research all the previous winners who would have received some publicity after the win.
On the Powerball web site they have a list of previous winners. I did find a black person from 2004, but that was the only one.
Maybe black people are smart enough not to accept publicity when they win. After all why would you want your name and image all over the newspapers, just so your free-loading friends and relatives could call you up for money! If there were any way I could avoid publicity, I'd take it. - Question:-Powerball?
What if you won the powerball jackpot and you were going to cash in the money to the Gas Station guy and he knocked you out and stole your ticket?
Answer:-As an owner of a gas station we are only allowed to pay out up to $500, if we have the money to do so. Your story has nothing to do with reality at all. - Question:-PoWeRbAlL......................................................?
WHAT ARE TONIGHTS WINNING NUMBERS????
Answer:-new jackpot 15 million - Question:-What is the range of numbers in the powerball lottery game?
When playing the powerball, what is the range of numbers you can pick for the white balls and the powerball?
Answer:-Here's a link to every official lottery site in the world. The official sites will give you the matrix for each game:
http://numberstorm.blog.com/ - Question:-Why are the powerball and mega millions odds the same for 2nd Place Prize?
It says on the back of both play cards the odds of matching 5 balls out of six and not matching the mega or powerball are 1:in 3,904,701. But Powerball has more balls 1 -59 and Mega has less balls 1 -56. So If Powerball uses 3 more balls how can the odds be the same? They cant be. The odds of matching 5 out of 6 in powerball are more like 1: 5,138,133.
Answer:-One at a time I will tell you some specific odds of getting certain combinations. Then I will explain why these odds are not the same as what's listed on each website.
To hit 5 balls out of 5 with 56 numbers (like the Mega Millions) it is a 1 out of 3,819,816. (Keep in mind that the Mega Millions 2nd place prize is listed as 1 out of 3,904,701, just like you said.)
To hit 5 balls out of 5 with 59 numbers (like the PowerBall) it is a 1 out of 5,006,386. (Again, this is not the same as what is posted on the PowerBall website. On the website it is 1 out of 5,138,133, just like you said.)
I'm not really sure what "play card" your talking about. Perhaps you misread one of them.
Now maybe I misunderstood your question from the beginning, but let me finish my point. I'll just use 1 of the above set of numbers to make my point. If there were only 5 balls from 1 to 56, the chances of hitting all 5 would be 1 out of 3,819,816. The reason the Mega Millions website lists the odds of getting this as 1 out of 3,904,701 is because they are talking about ONLY hitting those 5 numbers. Because of the fact that sometimes you'll hit the Mega Ball number, too, this reduces the chances that you'll ONLY get the 5 white balls, and nothing else.
I'm fairly sure I got a bit off topic from what you were looking for. Again, perhaps you just misread the "play cards". - Question:-When playing Powerball, how many numbers do you need to get right to win any money?
Also, if you get the Powerball number right, does that constitute anything? Thanks!
Answer:-2 and the powerball will get you about $35.00 - Question:-What is the best steategy for winning powerball?
I have been searching for strategies to win the powerball. Does anyone have any suggestions? If you are addicted to finding that winning strategy, drop me an email. I need all the help I can get. Ill share my opinions with you.
Answer:-Let me spoil the surprise for you. There is no 'system' and there is not 'steategy.'
Every time the balls pop out of that machine it is a completely random event that has no bearing on any previous drawing. The random numbers will be produced and if you are lucky they will match the numbers you picked.
The odds of winning Powerball are over 115 million to one. You are significantly more likely to die on the way to pick up your ticket.
You can plan all the systems you like, but you are going to have to get really incredibly lucky to win. - Question:-How do when know that the Powerball and state lottos are not rigged?
I live in Indiana and nobody has won the lotto in forever. Several times the lotto has been bigger than the Powerball with over 10 times the likelihood of winning than the Powerball lottery itself. Surely they can keep track of all the numbers out there and somehow rig the machine to not pick those numbers or to pick the numbers that certain individual related to the inside have. What kind of controls if any are in place to protect those of us who play? Is it possible mafia and or corrupt individual's are taking advantage? Any information or respectful opinions will be appreciated.
lil dark zero, lotto is short for lottery and is what our state lottery is called (Hossier Lotto).
aladdinwa, by not question nor fighting corruption is just how we can be taken advantage of on a daily basis. For example war profiteering is going on like crazy over in Iraq. In a 60 billion dollar audit they found over 10 billion of it totally and completely unaccounted for. That is your money and mine. Tax payers get raped all the time by pork barrel politics and what is done about it? It's about all we can do just to keep it shored up to a some degree. So in light of all this let me ask you, if we are getting taken advantage of almost in an in your face way what's to stop those in control of such lotteries from taken gross advantage of the players for their own personal gain?
HartleyBaldwin, commissions and accountants are not free from the influence of corruption either. As for making a lot of money being a reason they would not cheap I beg to differ. Greed sometimes grows in correspondence with the money you have access to.
Answer:-It is in the best interest of the lottery to have a big winner. Big winners bring big publicity, which increases sales.
Remember also that Indiana is only a single state. Powerball is played in 29 states (including Indiana).
There just aren't as many people buying the Indiana tickets as Powerball tickets. Even though the odds may be 10 times better on the Indiana lotto, there probably 100 times as many people buying Powerball. - Question:-What numbers are chosen most often in the Powerball Lottery?
Powerball is a lottery game. Choose 5 numbers between 1 to 55. Then choose one number between the numbers 1 to 42. This number is called the Powerball Number.
My question is what winning numbers appear most often in both sets of numbers.
Answer:-Dont know but I have read that you have a better chance of winning using quick pick instead of choosing your own numbers. - Question:-What are the odds of _not_ getting a single Powerball digit in a Powerball lottery drawing?
I have been playing Powerball for years (maybe 20 times per year). I have had one digit in all that time. For a drawing, what are the odds of _not_ getting a single digit?
Answer:-OK, let's do the math.
First ball out of the machine: You have a 54 out of 59 chance that one of your numbers will NOT be picked. Keep track, now. That's 54/59.
Second ball out of the machine: Assuming the first one didn't hit one of your numbers, you now have a 53 out of 58 chance that your numbers will NOT be picked. 53/58.
Third ball: 52/57.
Fourth ball: 51/56.
Last regular ball out: 50/55 that NONE of your numbers come out.
Finally you've got to avoid the PowerBall. For that, you've got a 38 out of 39 chance that you will NOT hit the PowerBall number. 38/39.
To figure out your chance of not hitting ANY numbers at all, just multiply the following then: 54/59 * 53/58 * 52/57 * 51/56 * 50/55 * 38/39.
Your answer is exactly (unsimplified) 14,421,045,600/23,429,886,480.
Simplified, that is approximately 61.55%.
So more often than not, you should NOT hit ANY numbers at all. Still, if you've ONLY ONCE hit only ONE number, then you are drawing just a bit worse than you ought to be. (Not too much worse that usual, but a bit.)
Above all else, know this: The lottery companies are only paying out around 50% of what they take in! So if they sell $100,000 worth of tickets, they only put about $50,000 into the prize pools! At a 50% payback rate, this makes playing the lottery the WORST BET anyone can possibly make.

Matt Barnes is a pest.

Answer:-Kobe personally convinced Barnes to join the Lakers. He and Artest are going to shake up alot of softies this year. I can tell you that. - Question:-What did Kobe say in the news about Matt Barnes?
To many bleeps and I turned to the interview as it was going off. I think it was on channel two last night. They were interviewing him and the Matt Barnes topic came up and Kobe just started cussing like crazy.
Answer:-Kobe said that he knew Matt Barnes wasn't going to do shit.(not in the link) He also said it was just kinda funny to him. You can see the a video of him talking about it here in the sources.
btw the stars block the word, the word is S....H....I....* - Question:-Which player should Phil Jackson start at his starting SF? between Ron Artest and Matt Barnes?
Keep Artest in the lineup because he is a better lock down defender?
Try Matt Barnes because he more faster has better offense and can also defend other players
Your Opinions?

Who do you think I should start?
Answer:-Kevin Durant is the biggest star of the 3 and will get the most scoring opp's. Al Thornton is playing well and is a close 2. Barnes shares minutes with Hill. - Question:-If and When Matt Barnes comes back for the Lakers should they start him over Ron Artest?
Matt Barnes was a very good player in the starting lineup for the Magic at the SF spot Barnes is more of a fit in the triangle then Ron Artest and maybe Ron Artest could be a key piece of the bench along side of Lamar Odom

Second ball out of the machine: Assuming the first one didn't hit one of your numbers, you now have a 53 out of 58 chance that your numbers will NOT be picked. 53/58.

To figure out your chance of not hitting ANY numbers at all, just multiply the following then: 54/59 * 53/58 * 52/57 * 51/56 * 50/55 * 38/39.
Your answer is exactly (unsimplified) 14,421,045,600/23,429,886,480.
Simplified, that is approximately 61.55%.
So more often than not, you should NOT hit ANY numbers at all. Still, if you've ONLY ONCE hit only ONE number, then you are drawing just a bit worse than you ought to be. (Not too much worse that usual, but a bit.)
Above all else, know this: The lottery companies are only paying out around 50% of what they take in! So if they sell $100,000 worth of tickets, they only put about $50,000 into the prize pools! At a 50% payback rate, this makes playing the lottery the WORST BET anyone can possibly make.

albert pujols
- Question:-Albert Pujols?
St.Louis Cardinals 1st basemen Albert Pujols injurys left calf in todays game in the 7th inning. How much hurt is this to the Cards now. Wainwright goes on DL and now Pujols injurys his calf and if I remember right he injuried his right calf a few years back and missed over a month of ball. Can Cards cont.. winning ways without there biggest bat in Pujols?
Answer:-i knew this day would come. i'm glad he's on the dl. if u single handedly take out two opposing players in the same inning....he got what he deserved. bastard even smiled after he did it - Question:-ALBERT Pujols?
pujols just had the worst season of his career
32 HR
103 RBI
.327 AVG
there are 100's of players in the league that would DIE just to have one season that good!
if Pujols stays healthy and plays another 10-12 year..i think he will wnd up being the all time
HR hitter
RBI leader
what do you think?
Answer:-5 straight years at 30+ HRs, 100+ RBIs, .300+ average, and this season his streak of 100+ runs scored was snapped.
He had 99.
He is a baseball god. - Question:-albert pujols?
why is albert not playing first base tonight
Answer:-I checked the Cardianls website, but it didn't say anything about it. Players just need daysoff sometimes. - Question:-What do you think about the decline in statistics by Albert Pujols?
Cardinals fans and those that follow Albert Pujols what do you think has caused his drop in offensive numbers? He is down in HR, RBI, Runs, and his AVE is slightly lower. I hope this is just a phase and he will bounce back soon and maybe next season he will again have his usually high numbers. He has played every game and I can only remember one game he didn't get to bat (he came in late for defense). It does look as though he will have more walks this year than any other year but we are talking about 12-15 more than previous totals. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on with Pujols?
Answer:-I expected a decline from the very start. He's a great hitter, but it helps to be in good lineup. Long gone are Larry Walker, Reggie Sanders and Edmond's ability to put up numbers.
The offense has been getting weaker and weaker over the last few years and finally it's come to the point were it's gets too difficult for one player to carry the load. Last year Pujols was the only player on the team with over 25 Home Run and the only player with 100+ RBI's.
Here's the Cardinals numbers in the first half over the last few years. You can see easily see the decline.
2004 - 108 HR, 455 Runs, .276 AVG
2005 - 97 HR, 447 Runs, .271 AVG
2006 - 87 HR, 440 Runs, .279 AVG
2007 - 70 HR, 368 Runs, .267 AVG - Question:-ALbert Pujols....................?
If Pujols does not sign with the cardinals after tomorrow, is he then a free agent, or is he 100% for sure playing for them this year?
So theres NO chance of him not being on 1B for the cards on opening day?
Answer:-His current contract runs through the end of the 2011 season. He will become a free agent at the end of the 2011 World Series. He will play for the Cardinals this season to satisfy his contract.
Add:
Pujols has a no trade contract with the Cardinals.
"Even if the sides don’t reach agreement by tomorrow (Feb 16), the Cardinals would retain exclusive negotiating rights with Pujols from the end of the 2011 regular season until five days after the World Series."
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-15/albert-pujols-and-cardinals-approach-deadline-to-agree-on-new-contract.html - Question:-Is Albert Pujols the fastest player to get to 400 homeruns?
I know he is the 3rd youngest, that is not what I'm asking. I'm wondering in a basis of games played. So my question should be did it take Albert Pujols less "games" to get to 400 home runs then KGJR or A Rod?
Answer:-Pujols hit his first in 2001 and so it took him 9 years to get to 400 home runs. you do the math.
Rock Firestorm: It's not 10 complete idiot. The year is still going, so don't be a wiseazz. - Question:-What are the chances that we see Albert Pujols traded for Ryan Howard straight up at the trade deadline?
The Cardinals don't look as though they are going to be able to afford Albert Pujols. Ryan Howard is already under contract for less than what Albert Pujols wants. If things don't work out, what are the chances we see this trade at the trade deadline?
Answer:-0.
I know that this was mentioned as a trade rumor before last season, but it was never anything serious. It was more like something that a Phillies executive mentioned during a brainstorming session when an ESPN reporter happened to be present.
First and foremost: the Cardinals want to keep Pujols, and I am almost certain they will.
Even if they want to unload him, this is not a realistic trade. First of all, teams usually don't trade one hitter for another of the same type. Both are power hitting first basemen. Neither would fill any sort of different niche that either team lacks. Second, it would be silly for the Phillies to give up a guy they just signed to a 5 year contract extension for a guy who will be a free agent after this year. Likewise, it would be silly for the Cardinals to trade away Pujols for a guy who is getting paid $25 million per year anyway!
Most importantly, if Pujols does get traded (and he won't) it would be for prospects. A lot of them. It is extremely rare for one veteran to get traded for another veteran star. - Question:-How does Albert Pujols hit sooo many homeruns without taking steriods,I want to be like him,whats his secret?
Please,when I grow up I want to try out for mlb.MY QUESTION IS,How is Albert soo strong and hit alot of homeruns,how come he can do it and ortiz and rodriguez cant?What type of weights pujols lifts and does he drink a powder protein shake??Please I want to know how he hits alot of homeruns without taking steriods
Answer:-how do you know hes not taking steroids? - Question:-How much can I sell my St. Louis Cardinals Albert Pujols autograph baseball for?
It is a Collector's Edition Baseball, official ball.
Rawlings official supplier of baseballs for Major League Baseball. It is in ment condition and was autographed by Albert Pujols around 2001 in red ink. Still in the Box.
Answer:-Don't sell your baseball, get it authenticated and insured. Albert Pujols is destined to be a hall of famer. At his current pace he will break alot of records including career HR's and RBI's. Trust me 12 yrs from now that baseball will be worth at least 100 times what its authenticated value is today, and its value will only go up. You will thank yourself if you put that ball in a safety deposit box and forget about it until you see him being inducted into the hall of fame. Wish I had one. - Question:-Why does Albert Pujols whear a black t shirt under his jersy?
Why does Albert Pujols whear a black t shirt under his jersy and the rest of the team have red?
Answer:-Because he wants to and can.
Maybe its comfort.
Noone knows...

powerball
- Question:-powerball?
do you know of any african american people that has won the powerball in the past?
Note:i am a black guy so this is not a racist question
Answer:-I don't know anyone who has won Powerball. You'd really have to research all the previous winners who would have received some publicity after the win.
On the Powerball web site they have a list of previous winners. I did find a black person from 2004, but that was the only one.
Maybe black people are smart enough not to accept publicity when they win. After all why would you want your name and image all over the newspapers, just so your free-loading friends and relatives could call you up for money! If there were any way I could avoid publicity, I'd take it. - Question:-Powerball?
What if you won the powerball jackpot and you were going to cash in the money to the Gas Station guy and he knocked you out and stole your ticket?
Answer:-As an owner of a gas station we are only allowed to pay out up to $500, if we have the money to do so. Your story has nothing to do with reality at all. - Question:-PoWeRbAlL......................................................?
WHAT ARE TONIGHTS WINNING NUMBERS????
Answer:-new jackpot 15 million - Question:-What is the range of numbers in the powerball lottery game?
When playing the powerball, what is the range of numbers you can pick for the white balls and the powerball?
Answer:-Here's a link to every official lottery site in the world. The official sites will give you the matrix for each game:
http://numberstorm.blog.com/ - Question:-Why are the powerball and mega millions odds the same for 2nd Place Prize?
It says on the back of both play cards the odds of matching 5 balls out of six and not matching the mega or powerball are 1:in 3,904,701. But Powerball has more balls 1 -59 and Mega has less balls 1 -56. So If Powerball uses 3 more balls how can the odds be the same? They cant be. The odds of matching 5 out of 6 in powerball are more like 1: 5,138,133.
Answer:-One at a time I will tell you some specific odds of getting certain combinations. Then I will explain why these odds are not the same as what's listed on each website.
To hit 5 balls out of 5 with 56 numbers (like the Mega Millions) it is a 1 out of 3,819,816. (Keep in mind that the Mega Millions 2nd place prize is listed as 1 out of 3,904,701, just like you said.)
To hit 5 balls out of 5 with 59 numbers (like the PowerBall) it is a 1 out of 5,006,386. (Again, this is not the same as what is posted on the PowerBall website. On the website it is 1 out of 5,138,133, just like you said.)
I'm not really sure what "play card" your talking about. Perhaps you misread one of them.
Now maybe I misunderstood your question from the beginning, but let me finish my point. I'll just use 1 of the above set of numbers to make my point. If there were only 5 balls from 1 to 56, the chances of hitting all 5 would be 1 out of 3,819,816. The reason the Mega Millions website lists the odds of getting this as 1 out of 3,904,701 is because they are talking about ONLY hitting those 5 numbers. Because of the fact that sometimes you'll hit the Mega Ball number, too, this reduces the chances that you'll ONLY get the 5 white balls, and nothing else.
I'm fairly sure I got a bit off topic from what you were looking for. Again, perhaps you just misread the "play cards". - Question:-When playing Powerball, how many numbers do you need to get right to win any money?
Also, if you get the Powerball number right, does that constitute anything? Thanks!
Answer:-2 and the powerball will get you about $35.00 - Question:-What is the best steategy for winning powerball?
I have been searching for strategies to win the powerball. Does anyone have any suggestions? If you are addicted to finding that winning strategy, drop me an email. I need all the help I can get. Ill share my opinions with you.
Answer:-Let me spoil the surprise for you. There is no 'system' and there is not 'steategy.'
Every time the balls pop out of that machine it is a completely random event that has no bearing on any previous drawing. The random numbers will be produced and if you are lucky they will match the numbers you picked.
The odds of winning Powerball are over 115 million to one. You are significantly more likely to die on the way to pick up your ticket.
You can plan all the systems you like, but you are going to have to get really incredibly lucky to win. - Question:-How do when know that the Powerball and state lottos are not rigged?
I live in Indiana and nobody has won the lotto in forever. Several times the lotto has been bigger than the Powerball with over 10 times the likelihood of winning than the Powerball lottery itself. Surely they can keep track of all the numbers out there and somehow rig the machine to not pick those numbers or to pick the numbers that certain individual related to the inside have. What kind of controls if any are in place to protect those of us who play? Is it possible mafia and or corrupt individual's are taking advantage? Any information or respectful opinions will be appreciated.
lil dark zero, lotto is short for lottery and is what our state lottery is called (Hossier Lotto).
aladdinwa, by not question nor fighting corruption is just how we can be taken advantage of on a daily basis. For example war profiteering is going on like crazy over in Iraq. In a 60 billion dollar audit they found over 10 billion of it totally and completely unaccounted for. That is your money and mine. Tax payers get raped all the time by pork barrel politics and what is done about it? It's about all we can do just to keep it shored up to a some degree. So in light of all this let me ask you, if we are getting taken advantage of almost in an in your face way what's to stop those in control of such lotteries from taken gross advantage of the players for their own personal gain?
HartleyBaldwin, commissions and accountants are not free from the influence of corruption either. As for making a lot of money being a reason they would not cheap I beg to differ. Greed sometimes grows in correspondence with the money you have access to.
Answer:-It is in the best interest of the lottery to have a big winner. Big winners bring big publicity, which increases sales.
Remember also that Indiana is only a single state. Powerball is played in 29 states (including Indiana).
There just aren't as many people buying the Indiana tickets as Powerball tickets. Even though the odds may be 10 times better on the Indiana lotto, there probably 100 times as many people buying Powerball. - Question:-What numbers are chosen most often in the Powerball Lottery?
Powerball is a lottery game. Choose 5 numbers between 1 to 55. Then choose one number between the numbers 1 to 42. This number is called the Powerball Number.
My question is what winning numbers appear most often in both sets of numbers.
Answer:-Dont know but I have read that you have a better chance of winning using quick pick instead of choosing your own numbers. - Question:-What are the odds of _not_ getting a single Powerball digit in a Powerball lottery drawing?
I have been playing Powerball for years (maybe 20 times per year). I have had one digit in all that time. For a drawing, what are the odds of _not_ getting a single digit?
Answer:-OK, let's do the math.
First ball out of the machine: You have a 54 out of 59 chance that one of your numbers will NOT be picked. Keep track, now. That's 54/59.
Second ball out of the machine: Assuming the first one didn't hit one of your numbers, you now have a 53 out of 58 chance that your numbers will NOT be picked. 53/58.
Third ball: 52/57.
Fourth ball: 51/56.
Last regular ball out: 50/55 that NONE of your numbers come out.
Finally you've got to avoid the PowerBall. For that, you've got a 38 out of 39 chance that you will NOT hit the PowerBall number. 38/39.
To figure out your chance of not hitting ANY numbers at all, just multiply the following then: 54/59 * 53/58 * 52/57 * 51/56 * 50/55 * 38/39.
Your answer is exactly (unsimplified) 14,421,045,600/23,429,886,480.
Simplified, that is approximately 61.55%.
So more often than not, you should NOT hit ANY numbers at all. Still, if you've ONLY ONCE hit only ONE number, then you are drawing just a bit worse than you ought to be. (Not too much worse that usual, but a bit.)
Above all else, know this: The lottery companies are only paying out around 50% of what they take in! So if they sell $100,000 worth of tickets, they only put about $50,000 into the prize pools! At a 50% payback rate, this makes playing the lottery the WORST BET anyone can possibly make.

Answer:-Ssshhh, it's a secret. - Question:-Where is Kryptos found in The Da Vinci Code?
What chapter do I find information about it?
Answer:-Kryptos is not found in the text of The Da Vinci Code. The only known reference to Jim Sanborn's CIA Sculpture is in the longitude latitude coordinates on the dust jacket. The coordinates are not exact, however, and Dan Brown has not revealed his motive for making them about a degree off. - Question:-What letters make up K4 of Kryptos?
It says them on the CIA website, but its way more than 97/98 and I've found other websites that say different. So exactly what 97 letters make up K4 and in what order?
Answer:-The links go into it. One of which is for a Yahoo! group devoted to solving it. Good luck! - Question:-What types of decryption were used to decrypt the first parts of Kryptos?
Answer:-uh...i got no idea what you are talking about, I haven't learned this stuff yet...so yea thanks for the 2 points. - Question:-Does anybody know any impossible kryptos?
Krypto is the number game where like you pick 5 random numbers and you try to find a way to equal the 6th number. Does anyone know a set of numbers that wont work?
Answer:-here:http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geu6o17epGnhIAooxXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE5dGowNG1vBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkA0Y5NDVfMTkwBGwDV1Mx/SIG=12aaqrim6/EXP=1189887669/**http%3a//www.math.niu.edu/~rusin/uses-math/games/krypto/ - Question:-What are some books about kryptos?
Im interested in kryptos and want to know more. So i want to know if there are any books out there about kryptos. I also want to know what the panels say. Thanks!! please no rude comments
Answer:-Among The Hidden! - Question:-What is the message in the CIA's Kryptos artwork at their headquarters?
Answer:-Krypos,a coded sculpture at CIA headquarters by James Sanborn has 4 parts to it.Fourth one has yet to be solved,but there are a lot of online communities working on it.
The first part is :BETWEEN SUBTLE SHADING AND THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT LIES THE NUANCE OF IQLUSION (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptos#Solution_1)
The second part talks about coordinates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptos#Solution_2)
The thrid is taken out Howard Carter's account of his book "The Tomb of Tutankhamun". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryptos#Solution_3) - Question:-What does Kryptos say?
I am a master cracker (as in codes) I recently heard about Kryptos and how even the best are having troubles decoding it. I want to have a crack at it. Does anyone have whatever is written on Kryptos written down or something, cus I cant find it on the internet or anything. I want it in the encrypted form, which means it probably looks like Mumbo Jumbo.
Answer:-I think it is time for you to learn the first rule of master cracking:
1. Find the thing you want to crack
Surely a genius such as yourself can master such a simple first step without my help. - Question:-can some one explain the kryptos puzzle and what are the 3 answer they have?
Answer:-1 BETWEEN SUBTLE SHADING AND THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT LIES THE NUANCE OF IQLUSION
2 IT WAS TOTALLY INVISIBLE HOWS THAT POSSIBLE ? THEY USED THE EARTHS MAGNETIC FIELD X THE INFORMATION WAS GATHERED AND TRANSMITTED UNDERGRUUND TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION X DOES LANGLEY KNOW ABOUT THIS ?

albert pujols
- Question:-Albert Pujols?
St.Louis Cardinals 1st basemen Albert Pujols injurys left calf in todays game in the 7th inning. How much hurt is this to the Cards now. Wainwright goes on DL and now Pujols injurys his calf and if I remember right he injuried his right calf a few years back and missed over a month of ball. Can Cards cont.. winning ways without there biggest bat in Pujols?
Answer:-i knew this day would come. i'm glad he's on the dl. if u single handedly take out two opposing players in the same inning....he got what he deserved. bastard even smiled after he did it - Question:-ALBERT Pujols?
pujols just had the worst season of his career
32 HR
103 RBI
.327 AVG
there are 100's of players in the league that would DIE just to have one season that good!
if Pujols stays healthy and plays another 10-12 year..i think he will wnd up being the all time
HR hitter
RBI leader
what do you think?
Answer:-5 straight years at 30+ HRs, 100+ RBIs, .300+ average, and this season his streak of 100+ runs scored was snapped.
He had 99.
He is a baseball god. - Question:-albert pujols?
why is albert not playing first base tonight
Answer:-I checked the Cardianls website, but it didn't say anything about it. Players just need daysoff sometimes. - Question:-What do you think about the decline in statistics by Albert Pujols?
Cardinals fans and those that follow Albert Pujols what do you think has caused his drop in offensive numbers? He is down in HR, RBI, Runs, and his AVE is slightly lower. I hope this is just a phase and he will bounce back soon and maybe next season he will again have his usually high numbers. He has played every game and I can only remember one game he didn't get to bat (he came in late for defense). It does look as though he will have more walks this year than any other year but we are talking about 12-15 more than previous totals. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on with Pujols?
Answer:-I expected a decline from the very start. He's a great hitter, but it helps to be in good lineup. Long gone are Larry Walker, Reggie Sanders and Edmond's ability to put up numbers.
The offense has been getting weaker and weaker over the last few years and finally it's come to the point were it's gets too difficult for one player to carry the load. Last year Pujols was the only player on the team with over 25 Home Run and the only player with 100+ RBI's.
Here's the Cardinals numbers in the first half over the last few years. You can see easily see the decline.
2004 - 108 HR, 455 Runs, .276 AVG
2005 - 97 HR, 447 Runs, .271 AVG
2006 - 87 HR, 440 Runs, .279 AVG
2007 - 70 HR, 368 Runs, .267 AVG - Question:-ALbert Pujols....................?
If Pujols does not sign with the cardinals after tomorrow, is he then a free agent, or is he 100% for sure playing for them this year?
So theres NO chance of him not being on 1B for the cards on opening day?
Answer:-His current contract runs through the end of the 2011 season. He will become a free agent at the end of the 2011 World Series. He will play for the Cardinals this season to satisfy his contract.
Add:
Pujols has a no trade contract with the Cardinals.
"Even if the sides don’t reach agreement by tomorrow (Feb 16), the Cardinals would retain exclusive negotiating rights with Pujols from the end of the 2011 regular season until five days after the World Series."

I know he is the 3rd youngest, that is not what I'm asking. I'm wondering in a basis of games played. So my question should be did it take Albert Pujols less "games" to get to 400 home runs then KGJR or A Rod?
Answer:-Pujols hit his first in 2001 and so it took him 9 years to get to 400 home runs. you do the math.
Rock Firestorm: It's not 10 complete idiot. The year is still going, so don't be a wiseazz. - Question:-What are the chances that we see Albert Pujols traded for Ryan Howard straight up at the trade deadline?
The Cardinals don't look as though they are going to be able to afford Albert Pujols. Ryan Howard is already under contract for less than what Albert Pujols wants. If things don't work out, what are the chances we see this trade at the trade deadline?
Answer:-0.
I know that this was mentioned as a trade rumor before last season, but it was never anything serious. It was more like something that a Phillies executive mentioned during a brainstorming session when an ESPN reporter happened to be present.
First and foremost: the Cardinals want to keep Pujols, and I am almost certain they will.
Even if they want to unload him, this is not a realistic trade. First of all, teams usually don't trade one hitter for another of the same type. Both are power hitting first basemen. Neither would fill any sort of different niche that either team lacks. Second, it would be silly for the Phillies to give up a guy they just signed to a 5 year contract extension for a guy who will be a free agent after this year. Likewise, it would be silly for the Cardinals to trade away Pujols for a guy who is getting paid $25 million per year anyway!
Most importantly, if Pujols does get traded (and he won't) it would be for prospects. A lot of them. It is extremely rare for one veteran to get traded for another veteran star. - Question:-How does Albert Pujols hit sooo many homeruns without taking steriods,I want to be like him,whats his secret?
Please,when I grow up I want to try out for mlb.MY QUESTION IS,How is Albert soo strong and hit alot of homeruns,how come he can do it and ortiz and rodriguez cant?What type of weights pujols lifts and does he drink a powder protein shake??Please I want to know how he hits alot of homeruns without taking steriods
Answer:-how do you know hes not taking steroids? - Question:-How much can I sell my St. Louis Cardinals Albert Pujols autograph baseball for?
It is a Collector's Edition Baseball, official ball.
Rawlings official supplier of baseballs for Major League Baseball. It is in ment condition and was autographed by Albert Pujols around 2001 in red ink. Still in the Box.
Answer:-Don't sell your baseball, get it authenticated and insured. Albert Pujols is destined to be a hall of famer. At his current pace he will break alot of records including career HR's and RBI's. Trust me 12 yrs from now that baseball will be worth at least 100 times what its authenticated value is today, and its value will only go up. You will thank yourself if you put that ball in a safety deposit box and forget about it until you see him being inducted into the hall of fame. Wish I had one. - Question:-Why does Albert Pujols whear a black t shirt under his jersy?
Why does Albert Pujols whear a black t shirt under his jersy and the rest of the team have red?
Answer:-Because he wants to and can.
Maybe its comfort.

albert pujols
- Question:-Albert Pujols?
St.Louis Cardinals 1st basemen Albert Pujols injurys left calf in todays game in the 7th inning. How much hurt is this to the Cards now. Wainwright goes on DL and now Pujols injurys his calf and if I remember right he injuried his right calf a few years back and missed over a month of ball. Can Cards cont.. winning ways without there biggest bat in Pujols?
Answer:-i knew this day would come. i'm glad he's on the dl. if u single handedly take out two opposing players in the same inning....he got what he deserved. bastard even smiled after he did it - Question:-ALBERT Pujols?
pujols just had the worst season of his career
32 HR
103 RBI
.327 AVG
there are 100's of players in the league that would DIE just to have one season that good!
if Pujols stays healthy and plays another 10-12 year..i think he will wnd up being the all time
HR hitter
RBI leader
what do you think?
Answer:-5 straight years at 30+ HRs, 100+ RBIs, .300+ average, and this season his streak of 100+ runs scored was snapped.
He had 99.
He is a baseball god. - Question:-albert pujols?
why is albert not playing first base tonight
Answer:-I checked the Cardianls website, but it didn't say anything about it. Players just need daysoff sometimes. - Question:-What do you think about the decline in statistics by Albert Pujols?
Cardinals fans and those that follow Albert Pujols what do you think has caused his drop in offensive numbers? He is down in HR, RBI, Runs, and his AVE is slightly lower. I hope this is just a phase and he will bounce back soon and maybe next season he will again have his usually high numbers. He has played every game and I can only remember one game he didn't get to bat (he came in late for defense). It does look as though he will have more walks this year than any other year but we are talking about 12-15 more than previous totals. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on with Pujols?
