I recently finished my physics masters, and while I'm happy with my job as a software dev, I miss learning, especially my intro to QFT which I aced and seriously enjoyed. Now, I think I'd be terrible in academia, and I like having money, so I guess my question is whether there is any place I can do Standard Model/QFT work and earn a good living?

Everyone who said the answer is 1 or -1 is wrong. What you have shown is that IF AN ANSWER EXISTS, then it must be 1 or -1.

However, every infinite fraction is irrational (google it). This means that theta is not well-defined (because if it were defined, it would have to be 1 or -1, a contradiction).

Alternatively, an infinite fraction is BY DEFINITION the limit of the sequence of finite continued fractions obtained by truncating after n levels. Since each such truncation has a zero in the denominator, every element of this sequence is undefined, so the limit is also undefined.

How do you approach this type of probability problem?

What's the probability of a bag containing X white balls given that the bag contains T white and black balls (each with the same probability) and you sampled (with replacement) Z balls out of which Y were white?
