Re: Pairs behind you (mathematics)
Yes, the numbers are roughly the same - the smaller the percentage is, the closer you'll get if you add the two percentages. But the more times you do it, the worse it is, and it does not work well, in general. Look at the odds for 4 people, for example, 45% vs 56%
Really I was just trying to point out that adding probabilities gets you in big trouble.
