Was Lee Oswald the passenger in Whaley's Taxi?

[Walt Cakebread]

Possibly. If Click didn't exist as the WC defenders claim, why didn't Whaley say this?

Can you accurately transcribe Henry Wade's words?.....  Or post the news paper account of what the reporters heard Wade say?

Your total was?

1/1024.

The Concept was about something being close to astronomical in relation to show-ups.

You claimed this something, a number I assume, was close to astronomical and at the same time said that "astronomical" was a lot more than this something.

That number is?

There are lies, damned lies, and John Mytton's made up statistics.

Listen for yourself:

"caught a taxi cab driver . . . in Oak Cliff"

Don't mind his made up lies and statistics he is just another one.

Didn't you have a total of six witnesses?

Yep.

The first witness has a choice of 1 in 4 of choosing No.2.
The second witness has a choice of 1 in 4 of choosing No.2
And so on, for all 6 witness's.

The amount of options therefore is 4 raised to the 6th power.

4/4 to the 6th power = 1/4 to the 5th power = 1/1024

4^6 equals 4096, so only one of the 4096 options is correct, right?

Not sure what you're expressing in your last line...

The first person can pick any random number then the next 5 have a 1 in 4 chance of picking the first persons random number hence we are left with a 1 in 4^5 chance of all the people picking the same number.
