The chances of you getting 3 double-yoke eggs are no different to getting one; cracking a double-yoke egg doesn't change the probability of getting one on the next egg you crack.

But the chances of getting 3 double-yolkers consecutively is far lower.

Nice breakfast by the way. Om nom nom etc...

they're not double yokers, they just split with the heat from the pan and oil and bubbled. Double yokers are normally seperate.

FAIL.

Huh !

I cracked one egg & got 2 yokes which to me is a Double Yoker, You Sir are quite clearly Mental.

What is this witchcraft of what you speak.

I turn All aplliances to MAX, Then I fire more volts through it to get it proper steaming & then I just sling food on it until it darkens, easier than a bon fire but not as tasty.

Are certain hens prone to laying dual yokers? Could it be that they were all from one hen?

Yes, it's genetic, just like people who are prone to having twins.

Far too much oil also

Cook the eggs first on a low heat, then the meat on a high heat, reheat the eggs for 10 sec in your microwave.

I know what I'm having for lunch now

Seriously, they are guaranteed to be double yokers, only ever had one that wasn't and when we told the fella he gave us 3 free

Nope, no difference. Why does one egg have the ability to affect the other (which is what you're effectively saying).

You don't understand probability do you?

Apart from all the saturated fat in them

So the chances of flipping a coin and getting heads once is the same as getting heads a million times in a row?

I bet if you went to his Chicken farm all the chickens are all freaky hybrid things with 5 bum holes.

Hxc · 15 Apr 2009 at 12:20

Yes, there is a difference. It's like you are less likely to roll two sixes 3x in a row than just once.... do you understand probability?

RandomTom · 15 Apr 2009 at 12:20

Haha...imagine that...

You're misunderstanding me. Of course the chance of getting a double-yolker given that you've just got one is the same as the chance of getting the first double-yolker. But the combined chance of getting one, and then another is much lower than the chance of just getting one double-yolker.

The chance of tossing a tails and then another tails is lower than the chance of just tossing one coin and getting a tails.

edit: I don't think I've ever had a double-yolker before. Do you get more yolk for your money than a single-yolker?

Yes, why isn't it?

When you roll a dice, the chances of rolling a 3 is 1/6. Roll the dice again. What are the chances of rolling ANOTHER 4? They're still 1/6.

Your way of thinking is the gambler's fallacy, and is fundamentally flawed. You are just as likely to get 10 double yokers and 1 single yoker (when cracking 11 eggs) as you are 10 single yokers and 1 double.

No - you cannot "combine" the probabilities. The probabilities of getting double-yokers are strictly independently and relative only to one egg.
