unicycle stair riding

What is the record for most stair riding on a unicycle?

2

I don’t know, but there is probably a distinction between riding down them, hopping up them, and/or riding up them (which I picture would be VERY hard to do).

3

what measurement is a stair?

The Unicycle Book (Jack Wiley, 1973) mentions a guy who went up and down the steps of the Eiffel Tower. Sometime before 1973 of course, but I don’t think much more detail was given.

I seem to remember someone else doing a similar huge amount of stairs more recently, but I can’t remember who or where. Was it Yoggi or someone also doing the Eiffel Tower? Anyone remember hearing of this?

I have ridden down a 36 set
i dont know where that stands

if i remeber cerrectly he went up the stairs so he would have to be hopping atleast up them

This the thread you’re talking about?

I don’t know but the record for most unicycle-related posts in the wrong forum is being smashed as we speak.

ok, then what is the probability of pulling four aces out of a deck of 52 cards without replacement? in no particular order, just four in a row.

1/270725

10

Did this in maths the other day.
But, can i be bothered thinking? :roll_eyes:

11

1/6497400

I’m stupid, Jerrick’s answer is right. My probability is for 4 aces pulled out in a specific order.

13

Jerrick and Ivan I got to tell you that you’re both right, it’s
1/270725

Edit: My calculator is sometimes really strange, first it showed me that 24/6497400 = 24/270725 :astonished:

14

Where’d you get the 24 from?

I calculated like this:

Edit: okay, gotcha.

Read my Edit. :wink:

16

At first sight I thought Ivan was right, Actually Jerrick has found it all.

Jerrick, kudos for posting the right answer, but if you don’t show your work, you’ll never get full credit! Especially in the Age of Google…

Mmm… yummy, yummy maths. Them’s some nice fractions. Gimme a peek at an integral? Maybe an infinite series? I know this is a family-friendly forum, we’ll not talk about matrices.

Okay… We’ll start with something easy and unrelated. Who’ll solve this one?

I learned that it’s not allowed to use the lying eight as a number. You have to write an a i.e. and then say that a goes to the lying eight. :stuck_out_tongue: :roll_eyes:

So, the correct answer to the original question was 1/768, wasn’t it?
