If you take the trouble to follow the link I posted above,
you'll see an entire paper - one of the most brilliantly
erudite and funniest things I have ever read - devoted to
that question.
I am confused about the meaning of n. He first states that
n = (P - 10) / 10; # P being population of Sodom,
so n has no particular known weight or meaning: Is it n = 1 if
we save 1 innocent for 1 guilty? Is it n = 10 if we save 1
innocent for 10 guilty? That would almost make sense except
that it would silently imply P = 110.
Then, in the rest of the article, he refers to n but, failing
to explain the meaning of it, I don't see any point of reading
it.
Did I miss something?
Yes - that it is OT and doesn't matter.
