Phil tends to be rude to everyone. And everything to him is black and

suggests, or are to him.

DIN plugs with a socket on the back so they could be inserted 'in line'

Highly unlikey with AKG. On this design, the leads plug into the
transducers. One reason they were so popular for pro use - they unplug
rather than break if strained.

If you go after ONE troll, the rest of the cunts come in and gang up on

So you gotta take the WHOLE lot on, all at once.

I wonder if they will last any longer than the originals. At 6.66 UKP
periodic replacement could get expensive, and stockpiling them would
be useless.
A Google search for 414 headphones pops bhphotovideo up to the top,
where the earpads are $5.50, about half the UK price.

Why? Because at the point of the final decision, that's the situation.
How do the preceding 8 steps affect the final step?
Just as in flipping coins.
Getting 5 heads in a row is 1/32.
But getting the 5th head after already getting 4 is still 1/2.

That isn't the final situation. I will take this a step at a time.
There are three doors - one with a car, two with goats
I choose one. I have a 1 in 3 chance of being right
That means there is a 2 in 3 chance of the car being in the other two
I know for a fact that at least one of the other two is a goat.
That does not change the odds - it is still 2 in 3 that the car is in
one of those
The host shows me one of the two - one he knows to contain a goat.
This is not new information, I knew there was a goat there, I still
know there was a goat there.
The odds are still 2 in 3 that the car is in one of those two doors.
But now those 2 in 3 odds have been concentrated into the one
remaining door of the two, which I will open because that is better
than the 1 in 3 chance of it being my first choice.

The big difference: In the Monty Hall problem there is only one "coin
flip". Only one random choice is made -- the first choice of a door.
In the coin flip situation, there are five coin flips, five random
choices.
Now, in contrast, if the car and remaining goats were randomly
shuffled after each goat door was revealed, then the situation would
be different. But in the MHP problem the car does not move.
