1. Lanfear is as strong as a woman can be
2. Morgase is as weak as a woman can be

This means there MUST be an equal number of SD between Morgase and the Mean as there are between Lanfear and the Mean,[...]


Nope. By itself, a bell curve doesn't have a upper or lower limit, that's something RJ has implemented. (Which is fine, and it's still reasonable to say strength is normally distributed.) But since he arbitrarily introduced upper and lower limits, there's no reason they have to be symmetric about the mean.

Who said RJ created a 100 point scale? I always assumed we did to make this easier to follow - 31/10/2012 02:22:51 PM 1119 Views
One more point here - 31/10/2012 03:02:34 PM 991 Views
I've think I've finally done it. I've solved the entire Curve. Daigian is the key... - 01/11/2012 09:20:57 AM 1266 Views
Did some playing with your numbers to make this work better - 01/11/2012 02:13:00 PM 1213 Views
The Mean and SD are set by Daigian's position. Your options are therefore not possible... - 02/11/2012 07:49:24 AM 1196 Views
Yet you have many more SD between the Mean and Lanfear than you do Morgase and the Mean - 02/11/2012 02:39:51 PM 992 Views
I absolutely agree. The lower side of the curve MUST be intersected by zero after 1 SD... - 02/11/2012 03:03:52 PM 891 Views
I am not convinced Moiraine is the Mean. Merely 50% of Lanfear - 02/11/2012 04:23:57 PM 1075 Views
But on a Bell Curve the Mean IS 50% of Lanfear. You've just disproven your own contention. - 02/11/2012 04:40:31 PM 961 Views
OMG no it is NOT! - 02/11/2012 05:16:36 PM 890 Views
I agree with that. But please honestly look at the math I presented. It disproves the Bell Curve. - 02/11/2012 05:24:41 PM 1191 Views
