"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Fellas I need your help. I have to write a math paper. Specifically on the probability of winning the lottery. The problem is I suck at Math and know very little about probabilities. This is a final project for my Math class. We have to do something that we didn't cover in class, and I'm stuck with this.

The paper has to be about the probability of winning the lottery and how it relates to the math principles we have been doing in class this semester. I also have to write about the formulas etc... So if anyone can give me some help I would appreciate it. If anyone knows the formulas etc... or other things please help me out.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

what formula's have you been learning? Type in all the crap you've been learning. My guess is something to do with chance and probability but we need more information.

I'm looking at the Mass state lottery. I'm in better shape right now then I was earlier. I'm explaining the probabilities of winning the several lottery games that Massachusetts has. For example,

http://www.masslottery.com/games/megamillions_rules.html



I know how to get the right numbers behind most of the games, but I don't know if there are specific formulas I should be using. If there is I can also add the formula in the paper and explain the formula. I'm just going to write about the different probabilities of winning the different games and compare them with other things like the chance that someone has to get struck by lightning. Then I'm going to relate that to what I have been studying for the class. I think I should be alright if I have any specific questions I'll let you guys know.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Just finding it hard to believe you're doing probability now... it's an easy enough concept that's usually covered at an earlier grade. Anyway best of luck!

I didn't deal with probability until I took a course called Intro to Logic my freshman year.

The odds of winning the lottery are you. Out of how many other people are playing the lottery. Which would be considerd "X". Unless you actually know the amount of people playing the lottery.

I'm basicly talking out of my a$$ right now. But, it would seem logical.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
