Right, today post is gonna be a “simple” maths question. The person who guesses the answer right first will be getting a prize and the person that can explain why so, will get a better prize
I am giving 48 hours for this. I can rest you asure that if you look over it and think, you will see the answer. If you can’t work it out, don’t worry, alot of people can’t
Well done for clicking the Hebrew link, the answer is here
Going first in this game gives you an advantage., that is the key part.
P(A) != 0.5
So, in this answer, lets p be the probability of winning if you go first.
That is the same as 1/6 + 5/6 * probability of losing if you go first, since there’s 1/6 chance you win first time, and 5/6 the game continues starting with the opponent’s turn
p = 1/6 + 5/6 * (1-p)
Which goes down to p = 6/11
So P(A) = 5/11 (since Kyle goes second)
So the answer is ( 5/6 * 5/6 * 5/6 * 1/6 ) / (5/11), which is exactly two Seventy Five / Twelve ninety six or roughly about 21.1% Read more... (282 words, estimated 1:08 mins reading time)
