Inspired by class today…

• For +1XP: find a website that has both the words jedi and hangover (or hungover) not more than 10 words apart. Caveat: the page you send me must not be the same as the page anybody else has already sent me (otherwise I’ll give you another change).
• For +2XP: find me a better example for this. To be clear: what I’m seeking are two words which are less likely to appear together (in the same 10-word window) than their individual probabilities multiplied together. (This would correspond to the “woman who lives with her parents” example. Female-ness, and living with one’s parents, tend not to go together, so P(female|liveWithParents) will be less than P(female) · P(liveWithParents).)

  Note that it’s no use just coming up with two words that are each independently rare, as Garrett tried to do today. Yes, I’m sure that the probability of finding vambrace and phytosphere together is very rare…but is it more rare than expected based on how rare they are individually? I’m far from convinced of that fact.

To claim either or both of these XP, send me an email with subject line “DATA 470 — random XP” by midnight on Sunday.
