Comment moved.
I didn't mean you should move your original comment. That was fine where it was. (Asking people to state their conclusion on the Sleeping Beauty problem, and their reasons.)
I think it would be most organized if their responses were daughters to my comment, so all of the conclusions could be found grouped in one location.
Just curious why the responses are female.
The default gender is (usually) male, so I like to play with this by choosing the female gender whenever I have a free choice.
Nevertheless, branches and sub-divisions of any type are typically feminine -- always sisters or daughters. Perhaps the reason for this is that the sisters and daughters inherit the ability of their mothers to again divide/branch/etc and this is considered a female trait.
...I found this answer on yahoo.
Interesting and thanks. I haven't noticed this before: for whatever reason, I've only seen nodes in a tree structure referred to as "parent" and "child."
Males divide and inherit equally well :)
I always assumed that the predominantly male engineers behind terms like motherboard / daughterboard were simply lonely.
...but, preferably, in the Sleeping Beauty post?
I've already stated my position there, probably too many times.
Nevertheless, it was your position I couldn't determine (for the amount of resources I was willing to invest).
