or once in eighteen times.
We do not know, however, that this will
happen in any finite number succession of throws.
Therefore, by a long run we must understand
an endless run. But there is no
such thing as a half, or a third, or any
other definite finite proportion of the
members of a denumeral collection.
For instance, you might be tempted to say
that one whole number out of every three
is divisible by 3. But all whole numbers
can be arranged in this way
1 3 2 6 (3) 9 4 12 5 15 (6) 18 7 21 8 24
You will evidently thus get all the whole numbers.
Yet 3 out of every 5 are divisible by 3.
