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
