Getting my sister in trouble for trolling me in college; it was totally worth it!!!

Getting in trouble for trolling my brother during his first week in college; it was totally worth it!!!

Albert Einstein, Blaise Pascal, and Isaac Newton were playing hide-and-seek. Einstein counted to twenty and Pascal ran off, but Newton just drew a square in the ground around himself with a stick. Einstein turned around, saw Newton, and said, "I've found you!" Newton looked confused. "No," he said, "You've found one Newton per square meter. You've found Pascal!"

Hi. to those of you that don't know me, I am Flamebirde. I mostly hang out in the Games forum that captured my attention a year (wow! it's already been a year?) or so back. Or maybe a couple years back, because it took me a while to get my nerve up to join. but that was probably one of the best choices in my life. and yeah, that's about it. Don't forget to try mafia in the games section, all you who've not tried it yet.

I've been following this thread kind of haphazardly, but I have to come in and say that what you're saying, whether you're trying to or not, is discouraging people from posting with their ideas/thoughts on a puzzle, which I think is a key aspect of BD being a 'community' rather than just a website. Even if people are wrong, they may say something that inspires thoughts in others, and that in itself is valuable. I am a scientist, and highly value collaboration. Pretty much all great discoveries, although often credited to one person or the other, were made by a collaboration or at least one person building the past works of others. Also as a scientist, I've noticed that in science, economics, game theory, and even math, there are still problems 'experts' disagree on the correct approach to. And personally, as a puzzle maker who likes to make somewhat complex puzzles, I highly encourage people to work together and share their working thoughts. It usually 'gets the thread going' and builds a kind of happy, fun atmosphere as well. To be honest, I have not given this particular puzzle enough analysis to form an opinion on who is 'correct', my beginning line was with probabilities such as your first line, but I never took the time to finish. I recognize that you've put a lot of work and thought into your answer, and you gave a really good and thorough explanation...but I have to point out, it does not constitute a proof...your own 'comments' in red show the parts that need to be completed for it to be a proof. Welcome to the den ;P.

After night 3 but before night 5, i think.

But please remember that this is a TMM so try not to mess with the newbies too badly. . .

Takin' up Mo's job, since he ain't back yet. *tears up a bit*

Okay, game is over. Post is coming. Sorry about the delay...the tubing to the fridge of a house we're kinda housesitting burst and...well...it was not pretty .
