If i wanted a flight out of Glasgow or Edinburgh on Saturday, returning on Monday - to pretty much any destination - what website would be the best to get a good deal? We don't care about where we're going, but it needs to be a flight on Saturday returning on Monday, at a reasonable time. My initial Google search hasn't been fruitfil, but maybe there's no good deals to be had like this. Skyscanner lets you pick your departure airport and dates but with destination as "everywhere" and lists them by price afterward.

Skyscanner as other have said but when choosing the departure airport click the (nearby airport) button and that will show you Edinburgh and Glasgow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eta: Should point out that some of my work deals with ratios / stats which still remains a bit of a dark art to me, so in a way this was justifiable work. I'm told I have to work to n=200, but that "150 is usually fine if you can't get 200" (supported by this P&B experiment). I usually find that counting away until I get 100 of one kind consistently comes away with a steady answer if the things occur in the same proportion. I find you quite disturbing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, unlike the last one, this one shows that you actually need more than two flips to provide an accurate ratio. A truly crushing blow tbh. Interestingly, this one hit the true 50/50 value after 'just' 82 flips, but then proceeded to get worse (albeit a steady ~5% out from the true value). I stopped counting after tails hit 100 (at which point there had been 81 heads). Note the ^ trend after 40 or so flips where there was a run of tails followed by a run of heads just as it looked like it was actually getting towards 50%. Take away lesson here: more isn't necessarily better, and stats gives you a sore thumb. Edited February 13, 2020 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds against tossing a coin ten times in a row and getting heads every time (assuming an ordinary coin) are fairly small; I could work it out but can't be arsed. But if you've got nine heads in a row the odds on the tenth one being heads are still 50/50. So you're still on a 15 million to one shot on every draw. 15 million to one sounds like the odds of me winning the Edinburgh City half time draw...! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
