Gem, that’s it, plus Fujianese Chinese are very entrepreneurial. Restaurants are very labor-intensive. A family can open a restaurant in an up-and-coming area (maybe buy the building so they are protected from rent increases, and they have a place to live and more income from renting out the rest of the apartments), work a zillion hours, make money. And 99 percent of the clientele will not realize that they are not the same nationality as the food.
When you guys are finished arguing about this…lemme know, and I’ll get a REAL math guy (aka BH) to weigh in, if someone would kindly restate the question.
Legion- I realize this may sound dumb but here goes: The first part of the experiment you’re talking about shoots photons through 2 slits and gets several lines. I am assuming from what you said, “several” means more than 2 lines.
Then you said we would expect shooting through 1 slit would most likely mean 1 line but that would only be the case if there were only 2 lines on the phosphorescent screen in the first part of the experiment, yes? But if you get more than 2 lines of photons through 2 slits, wouldn’t you reasonably expect more than one line through one slit anyway?
“The issue you mention can be resolved by a modified form of the Poisson’s distribution that is called “Student’s T”.
In this distribution, the process is truncated at a defined point, and at that point the event occurs.”
Interesting. Let me think about that some more.
I’m looking forward to getting home tonight and finding the book that I read ages ago that I’m pretty sure goes through this. It may or may not give us a definitive answer.

Brooklyn Fare has a restaurant section now?????
11217, how was it???
And yes, at least one bottle per person, always.
OK I thought about it. If you truncate it, then we come out in the same place.

OK legion, but that’s actually quantum mechanics. We were talking about birthdays.
Oh and PS Jester, you have a nice coworker.
