JemmyIf you showed me a lineup of 10 guys and asked me which one ran a worm farm I feel like I would get it right 100% of the time.

You can probably get to 99.9% accuracy by just saying “none of those guys run a worm farm” every time.
I was assuming it wasn’t a setup.
and it wouldnt be. the chances of 1 of 10 randomly picked individuals running a worm farm is very low.
They never said random.
I was assuming that most scenarios where you’re asked to spot the worm farmer are bogus.
That’s just what Big Worm wants you to think.
they never said a preselected group either. ah the ambiguities of the english language =)
They did, it’s implied, heavily.
Asking “which one” means one is.
It’s not ambiguous, you just missed important detials.
*implied* doesnt mean *required*. you can think what you want but nothing in that statement means one of them will be a worm farmer. and no I didnt miss any details. you just think an implication means fact. which it doesnt. i suspect you’re often mislead by people exploiting this bias you have.
in order for you to be correct they would have had to state the selection mechanism for the group being considered. since they didnt, its ambiguous and you cannot infer anything from the statement.
A lineup (like a police lineup) is exactly that. One is the suspect and the rest are there to ensure that you can accurately identify the actual suspect to be used later in court.
You realize that a police line is literally random selection (including the perp) right? thats kind of the point. There is no guarentee that the ‘perp’ is the actual criminal despite the officers or the witnesses opinions on the matter.
And that’s why just reporting to give the right guess most of the time isn’t enough. We need a full confusion matrix to evaluate any classification skill :D
In a way, isn’t every farm a worm farm?
Distinctly, no, as insecticides and fungicides are still widely used and very very bad for worms.
This makes me wonder what everyone’s mental image of a worm farmer looks like.
My intuitive association was Steve Urkel (I mean, the suspenders!) but a Google search suggests a more hirsute look for the average vermiculturist.
What are the signs of running a worm farm?
You just gotta feel it.
“Excuse me?”
“They said you just gotta feel it.”
“I don’t think this is what they meant.”
“You don’t know that.’
“Fair enough. Carry on.”
(the conversation I made up in my head, now typed out for you all to share)
I should do this more often.
They just wiggle out of everything
I have a worm farm.
Red wrigglers
You don’t have to tell me, buddy!
The Cadillac of worms.
Do I run a worm farm?
Gimme 9 other guys and OP can tell ya.
I volunteer as tribute.
Does a compost pile count?
This is very close to being oddly specific.
Plus, oddly, I agree with you.
I’ll leave this here.
I’ve only ever seen one in movies.
