BRAINSTELLAR PROBABILITY PUZZLES:

Accidents in half time:


Probablity of no accindent in 1 hr = (prob of no in 1st 1/2 hr)*(prob in next
disjoint set of 1/2 hr) = 1/4

so, p^2 = 1/4


p = 1/2

Getting fair result from unfair coin:


--Toss two times, mapping HT to win & TH to lose

1 and 11 i.e. the difference b/w arrival times of trains might be very less
