Reply To: The Mechalel Shabbos Troll

Haleivi, please show me the math of how likely it is that two people, in completely different parts of the world, would share the EXACT SAME ip address within a 24-hour window between Friday and shabbos. I took statistics in college, and the odds against it are 1/(4 billion -1) + 1 (4 billion -1), so the odds of it occurring are those 2 numbers multiplied out. The odds of this not being chillul shabbos are still small enough as to be effectively nill.

APY, of course the troll is still posting here, and probably using different ip addresses to boot. I just wanted him to know that Chillul shabbos is not cool. He might be more careful not to post on shabbos. Or he’ll cover his tracks better to hide his shameful chillul shabbos. Either way I had to make a mecha’ah, if a very mild one at that. I have no idea who it is, and I don’t want to know.
