Comment on Stochastic, Nerdtastic Restaurant Bill Splittingparent

Comments

Quite right! But I think the cool thing from a mathematical/nerd perspective is that you can have everyone pay with that probability (splitting the bill stochastically) without figuring out what those probabilities are. Ie, without figuring out what everyone ordered.

So the guy who orders more expensive items or more items pays for the whole bill more often then that? Sorry joe, you owe me for your entree whether or not I had 2 beers
