Very nice post. I love the plots and special characters typesetting, as well as the neat 1-line examples of how to solve some probability problems. Your posts always blow me away, keep up the good work Peter!

Dear Peter, we noticed your interesting plots and special type characters.

Please let us know if you need any help to make them more appealing or behave better on cloud, and please feel free to create more posts if you have ideas to share.
