I am not asking because I am hanging out in Pattaya now.

It has nothing what so ever to do with that. It is just a coincidence.

 

I has more to do with this Pre-algebra equation which I think everyone should know. 

 

The ratio of red jelly beans to green jelly beans is 4:5. If a jar holds 108 jelly beans, how many are red?

 

Answer:

48 are red

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio 4+5=9 parts

1089=12← 1 part

4 parts =4×12=48←red beans

5 parts =5×12=60←green beans

total beans =48+60=108←correct

 

On second thought I actually don't think this is the right equation for what I am trying to say. 

It should be something like this.  if you have a jar of jellybeans and to take one out and it is red, and then every jellybean you remove from the jar is red, how many jellybeans do you have to remove until you are sure they are all going to be red. 

 

so say like over a four week period, every other day you took one jellybean out and they were all frickin' red would it be safe to assume they are all going to be red?

 

 

You've been taking that oil again ?  throttle back and find a nice beach.

I liked it better when the title was about Pattaya women and the clap.  I didn't understand the connection to beans, but it was much better click bait.

 

I think it depends on whether the jelly beans are in the habit of using condoms.

4:5 is 80%.

80% of 108 is 86.4

Or (108/5)*4

So the answer is 86 or 87. 

 

Edit: (108/9)*4 is 48.

The probability of picking a red jellybean is 44.4% to start, from there on it would change depending...

Dont sweat the small stuff ????

Your footnote "Thailand. LSD without the LSD" comes to mind. 

 

I much prefer the other sort of bean flicking ????

Back in the 60s it was always the green smarties, fruit gums, pastilles, opal fruits etc that everybody avoided. Perhaps times have changed.

You should run for political office...you already talk just like a politician...????

Looks like Pattaya's hookers had an early night????
