I know what you did here. I am taking my Mg/K supplements to keep up my attention.

Why is it 4:1 instead of 3:1?
3:1 means that you bet $1 four times on the 25%, lose money three times and make back $3 the last time.

With how much the weather has messed with me lately, it seems that weather predictions mean all of these at once.
1. It will definitely rain, on 75% of the relevant area.
2. It will definitely rain, for 75% of the relevant time period.
3. It will rain with an intensity of 75% of the maximum our instruments can measure.
4. Three out of four meteorologists think it will rain.
5. It will rain on 75% of the population.
6. It will rain on everyone, but 75% of the population forgot their umbrella.
7. It will rai
8. 25% chance of dry.
9. 25% chance of snow.
10. When you become trapped in a Groundhog Day-type loop and are forced to repeat today three more times, then a subsequent analysis will show that it rained on exactly three of the four total days. Probably.
