In contrast to Pascal’s Wager Triangle, Pascal’s Triangle Wager argues that maybe God wants you to draw a triangle of numbers where each one is the sum of the two numbers above it, so you probably should, just in case.

    Pascal was a famous thinker of their time, particularly in mathematics.

    Two of the ideas they’re remembered for are Pascals Triangle and Pascals Wager.

    Their triangle is a helpful tool for combinations of things. Their wager is a (kinda bad in my opinion) argument for why you should believe in the Christian God.

    The xkcd comic is a combination of both ideas

      Ahh, so I did actually understand it… I thought for sure I was missing something since they are usually way more clever than this.
