If a bicycle is a vehicle with 2 wheels and a tricycle is a vehicle with 3 wheels is a vehicle with 6 wheels a sexcycle?

How does Safeway sound as a beginning job? I'm going to start looking probably in late January when I can drive myself. I'm not interested in "character building" crap, I want a fair amount money and I want not to difficult or menial work. If Safeway sucks, can somebody give me a good idea of a place to work?

What is that, like a grocery store? I doubt they'd put you behind the register, so I imagine you'll probably have to things like bag other people's groceries, sweep/mop up, stock shelves, carry boxes, maybe go into some kind of back room and take inventory, your basic grunts work at that kind of place. You could do a whole lot worse. I don't know how much they'd pay you but I bet you could get tips or something if you had personality.

I have a friend who worked for a Safeway owned grocery store, and he has warned us all repeatedly not to work there. Of course, he was also fired when he stole some beer from work and gave to the the superintendent of the local school's underage children, so I would take anything he says with a grain of salt.
And I have another friend who (I think works at the same store) and has to slaughter and prepare the lobsters as part of his job duty and now has an unhealthy (or healthy?) fixation with lobsters.

Sex is swedish for a number. It was one of my favorite parts of living there. Everyone saying sex all the time.

jah but it's spelled "sex" here...
yeah, but in speech you won't hear the difference

Sex is Latin for 6. You cannot decline sex (since cardinal numbers greater than 3 and less than 1000 don't change form depending on how they are used.)
it's been too long, so what I write may be totally false:
the probability that you roll exactly 6 doubles out of eight is:
0.1^6 * 0.9^2
the probability that you roll at least 6 doubles would be:
0.1^6 * 0.9^2 + 0.1^7*0.9 + 0.1^8 (theres probably a much easier way)
Thank you.
I've heard some awful stories about paychecks and Safeway and how they treat you. I know 3 people who worked there. Every single one left within a year.

two summers ago i worked in a grocery store, Raley's. It wasn't a bad first job. I was a courtesy clerk, meaning i rounded up shopping carts in the parking lot, bagged groceries, helped people find stuff and bag groceries at the check stands. I made 8.10 an hour. In terms of actual work, it was really busy on fridays and between noon and 5ish. I remember the other courtesy clerks and i would take turns going outside to round of carts, and it was basically a half hour break, i would just walk around talk on the phone and push a few carts around.
if safeway is anything like my raley's experience, i would recommend it.

Ya I had a similar experience at Wegmans. I got to pick my own hours and after 6 months my pay went up to $10.00/hour. good times... until i was riding a shopping cart and fell off and hurt my head
good thing they don't do references
That would be the probability for some specific order (eg. not-doubles are the last ones). You have to take into account that the nondoubles could be for example throws 1&5, 3&6 and so on. Because you can choose 2 out of eight in 7+6+5+4+3+2+1=28 times, the right probability is
28 * 0.1^6 * 0.9^2.
the probability that you roll at least 6 doubles would be:
0.1^6 * 0.9^2 + 0.1^7*0.9 + 0.1^8 (theres probably a much easier way
Exercise: how does the above mentioned play in these calculations?
yikes, I knew I was rusty...forgot all about the whole n over k business....(btw is there any easy way to generate a pic of a mathematical formula so as to post it somewhere?
are you a teacher?
Don't worry, it's quite natural to forget skills that aren't in active use. I'm not a teacher exactly, but I've been teaching too.
I'm pretty sure I have once seen in Ainwood's post some mathematical symbols, so it's probably somehow possible to add them in text, I just have no slightest idea of how. (Or then she just went trough all the trouble of typing them with LaTex, putting image somewhere and copying a link inside the text).

Why does RRW always think there's some sort of gigantic problem whenever people happen to not be posting?
