2nd World Scout Jamboree

The Second World Jamboree was officially opened on 10 August 1924 by Rear-Admiral Carl Carstensen, acting as the personal representative of King Christian X.[2] Fourteen countries entered composite troops for the World Scout Championship, a test of Scoutcraft and stamina which continued throughout the week, and included camp inspections, hygiene, discipline, campfire songs and yells, folk dancing, swimming, handicraft, an obstacle course and patrol hike. The Boy Scouts of America won the competition, Great Britain came second and Hungary third. It was decided, however, not to renewing the idea, for fears that nationalism could harm Scout brotherhood.[1]

gollark: It would be quite annoying on larger things, but if you had, say, a 3-sided die, a 4-sided one, and a 5-sided one, and wanted to have 2 of them show a 1, then the possibilities are just 1, 1, anything and anything, 1, 1 (order is 3-sided, 4-sided, 5-sided).So you can work out the probability of each case (1/3 * 1*4 * 1 and 1 * 1/4 * 1/5) and add them.
gollark: Enumerate all the different possibilities where you have X dice showing 3, work out the probability of each, then add them?
gollark: Just multiply the probabilities for getting side X on each die together?
gollark: You also are probably not running Haskell with its giant runtime on a microcontroller doing those things.
gollark: My friend likes Haskell but also spends time reading incomprehensible papers on logic and type theory and such.
