Genoese lottery

Read a random definition: four-corners rule

A quick definition of Genoese lottery:

Genoese Lottery: A type of lottery where players buy tickets and choose numbers from a range of 90. Five numbers are then drawn at random, and players win if they have chosen one or more of the winning numbers. This type of lottery started in Genoa around 1530 and is also called a number or numerical lottery.

A more thorough explanation:

A Genoese lottery is a type of lottery that originated in Genoa in about 1530. It involves selling tickets and drawing five numbers out of 90 consecutive numbers. Players wager on one or more of the numbers they have chosen, and those who hold tickets with winning numbers receive prizes, usually large cash prizes.

For example, if a player chooses the numbers 5, 12, 27, 63, and 88 and any of those numbers are drawn, they win a prize.

The Genoese lottery is also known as a number lottery or numerical lottery. It is a method of raising revenues, especially for state governments, by selling tickets and giving out prizes to winners. This type of lottery is different from a Dutch lottery, which involves drawing tickets from classes with fixed and increasing prizes.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.

Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
Dkkm11
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
[] baddestbunny

Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
Dkkm11

It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.

I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
Dkkm11
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
[] baddestbunny
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
[] baddestbunny
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
Dkkm11
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
Dkkm11
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
[] baddestbunny
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
[] baddestbunny
18:56
oh okay
[] baddestbunny
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
Dkkm11
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
[] baddestbunny
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
[] baddestbunny
18:57
or just drills
Dkkm11
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
Dkkm11
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
