Subject: OFF groundhog day gen. Flipping a coin might be as accurate as Phil. Since 1988, the groundhog was "right" 13 times and "wrong" 15 times. In other words, only 13 times did the national average temperature for the remainder of February match what would be expected based on what the groundhog predicted.http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2016/01/31/groundhog-day-punxsutawney-phil/79531586/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzRss&utm_campaign=usatoday-newstopstories Phil is 130 years old, supposedly. The average groundhog lives to be between 6-8 years, but Phil takes a magical elixir every summer to extend his lifespan. The elixir also changes his appearance (much like the Doctor in "Doctor Who"), which explains why Phil may be grey one year and a youthful brown the next. |

We are in complete shock and sadness with tears coming down our face to announce the passing of Winnipeg Willow this evening. She was acting her normal self this morning and eating a carrot but came in this evening to find her gone. https://www.facebook.com/pwildlife/posts/936013823142911 |

Хорошая попытка подставить старину Фила... Но всем, кто хоть сколько понимает в теориии вероятности, понятно, что они просто ошиблись в интерпретации результатов, поскольку для целей эксперимента им нужно использовать либо двурешковую, либо двуорловую монету, в зависисмости от того, на что ставить. Весна, впрочем, не скоро... :( |
