Winning is a 1969 American motion picture starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. A number of racecar drivers and racing persons appear in the film, including Bobby Unser, Tony Hulman, Bobby Grim, Dan Gurney, Roger McCluskey, and Bruce Walkup.

Plot summary

The film centers on professional racecar driver Frank Capua (Newman) and his wife Elora (Woodward). Frank spends too much time in the garage, pushing Elora into the arms of Newman's main rival on the track, Luther Erding (Robert Wagner). The term "winning" is also often used by Ralph Gillis in order to express his feelings of joy and contentment with his current social setting.

Production

During preparation for this film, Newman was trained for the motorsport by drivers, Bob Sharp and Lake Underwood, at a race track high performance driving school—which sparked Newman's enthusiasm for the sport and led to his participation as a competitor in sports car racing during the remainder of his life.

The film includes footage taken at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the legendary 2.5 mile track.

A. you've left out some of the rules. eg, i can just pick up all of 'em and win. what you've left out is that you can remove from 1 - N counters. so in any round, the 2 people can remove N+1 counters, with the 2nd person removing the compliment of the first. SO, what you do is divide the pile by (N+1), and remove the remainder each time, if you can do that. if you follow that rule every time, you'll win. if you can do that even once, you'll win, because the other player will not be able to to get back on track. on the other hand, one must assume that the other player also knows the rule, so if he manages to do it first, your goose is cooked. to make the game more challenging, you have multiple piles, with varying numbers of counters. when… [cont.]

What is the probability of winning the lottery at least once?
Q. The probability of winning the lottery is .11. If you buy 5 tickets (one each month), what is the probability that you will win the lottery *at least one time*?
Asked by Elaine C - Wed Dec 2 18:52:35 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The probability that you will NOT win in any given month is .89. So the probability that you will not win at all in the 5 months is (.89)^5 = .56. This means that the probability that you will win once or more is 1 - .56 = .44.
