 they may distribute it in that green area, which is the prior distribution, making it hard for you to return. Now both these sources of information carry important information. And what Bayes' rule says is that I should multiply the numbers on the red by the numbers on the green to get the numbers of the yellow, which have the ellipses,

 which is the prior distribution making it hard for you to return now both these sources of information carry important information and what Bayes rule says they should mark are the numbers in the red by the numbers and the green to get the numbers in the yellow which have the ellipsis and that's my belief so it's the optimal way

 where we ended up going. And just to give you a sense of what we found attractive about those four places and I'll point out that the yellow ellipsis that you see here are all 25 kilometers long by 20 kilometers high.
