The science of lucky sciences

A lucky science as defined by Smarandache is whereby the correct result to a mathematical equation is achieved by erroneous methods ([1]). For example, if asked 10+10, we might say 20, which happens to be correct in all positive integer bases except for base 2, in which case the answer should have b...

Zusammenfassung:A lucky science as defined by Smarandache is whereby the correct result to a mathematical equation is achieved by erroneous methods ([1]). For example, if asked 10+10, we might say 20, which happens to be correct in all positive integer bases except for base 2, in which case the answer should have been 100. As we probably did the sum in base 10, we have been lucky (however we would have been unlucky in base 2). This paper questions under which circumstances we may be lucky or unlucky.
