1) "because" implies this is the reason, and that's not the reason. 5 attacks / second can occur on a continuous timeline, too. eg t = [0.123124, 0.323124, 0.523124, 0.723124, 0.923124]. but ok, we'll stick to discrete timeline.

2) you're still not stating the problem adequately.



chance = probability = possibilities / sample space

your sample space and possibilities are infinite. i could attack once now, then wait a million years, then attack again. etc.

/edit: honestly i'm losing faith in your nerdiness.

scroll down to the 'At Least One Rule'

The chance of a single armor not proccing is 0.95.
(0.95 * 0.95 * 0.95 *0.95) = 0.81450625 <-- the chance that none proc

The chance that at least one proc is the complement, or 18.549375%

u r just nit picking at this point.

new clarification:

i attack 5 times per second ONLY.
what are the chances of me sustaining super armor for the FIRST 16 seconds EXACTLY?

nit picking? you're a disappointment to nerds.

you gave the timeline for the armor, but not for attacking. for how many seconds am i attacking? from t=0 to t=11? or is it from t=0 to t=16? or unbounded at the end? clearly, if i stop attacking at t=11 i have more odds of success than if i keep attacking past t=11

i know several aspies and they're really good at clearly stating problems.
