Derfel says

what is the probability that another will pass by you after 10 minutes - this means he thinks it's 100%, because if the probability is 0.95 in 30 minutes, then eventually a car will pass you AFTER 10 minutes, but in reality there is no sure thing in life except how dumb this is


lets laugh for a moment, probability from 10-20-30 minutes changes derfel you dingus.

probability of a car passing by from 0-10 is different from 10-20 and that is different from 20-30

Actually Derfel is correct because of the way this question is worded. After a period of ten minutes, a car will eventually come by during the rest of eternity. There's like a 99.999999 percent chance.

Use the 50/50 idea to bobba off every statistical nerd out there.
