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
Waiting for the train
-- Train at Mary Jane's place comes at a time say 0 and 10. But traifor stacy's at 1 and 11 i.e. the difference b/w arrival times of trains might be very less
