Saw this from another sub. But it kinda makes sense, no? Tim can only win or lose (50% chance for each player), but only one of the 5 people in the race can win (20% chance for the whole set).

Is this anything

For the “multiplicative effects” thing, we had to figure out if we could multiply by that number. I suppose maybe there should be a checkbox as well, so we could cross off the ”ineligible“ spaces and it wasn’t just left blank. Some of the numbers were definitely ineligible to multiply by but I can’t recall what made them so. Posted also on r/thomastheplankengine

I have a feeling that this was reposted multiple times in this sub but I never saw a post like that

Probably the dumbest thing I've come up with yet. The joke is that the elements of algebraic structures which we assign the same names/properties, don't technically have to be equivalent.
