  • What are the mathematical odds of achieving a perfect game in hearts? (Shooting the moon four times in a row?)?

    I accomplished this feat a few years while playing Microsoft hearts against the computer. Ever since my perfect game I've wondered what the mathematical odds were of winning in such a fashion. That is, assuming an average understanding of the game and a proficient technique at playing, what is the approximate likelihood of shooting the moon 4 consecutive times in the first four rounds of play for a score of 0 to 104 to 104 to 104???

    If anyone knows a figure please share it. Or if there are any statistics experts out there I would love to hear your estimate of these odds.

    Thanks!

  • Is the IRS's standard mileage rate expected to increase for 2011? If so, by how much?

    Right now it is at .50 cents after having decreased from 2009's .55 cent rate. I assume (maybe incorrectly) that the economy will have improved somewhat and/or transportation costs bottomed out and will rise again for 2011. If this is true then I expect the standard mileage rate to increase for the 2011 year. But I can't seem to find any articles or other sources of info. that speculate about this or estimate what (if any) the increase will be. If anyone knows anything I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks!

    After completing law school I would like to move to hawaii and sit for the Hawaii bar.

  • my compulsively meowing cat?

    i have a cat that just won't shut up. i love him to death but it is a serious problem. He has everything he needs: food, attention, toys, interaction, comfort, etc. I don't know what he is so upset about. But he always goes down the hall and just beging meowing and will not stop. I've tried to chase him out of the hall when he does it and i've tried to make him go in his pet taxi when he acts up for long periods of time. I don't know what else to do. nothing has worked. he just keeps meowing, and quite loud.
