You flip a coin 4 times. What is the probability that you get 2 heads?
The angles between two arms on a clock. Beware if the asked 10:40, the hour hand will have moved on past 10.
Round 2: How you can create fair coin with an unfair coin? Is there any way I won't waste any of my flips during the process?
Q: Suppose you want to calculate how long an escalator is. You have two times: the time it takes you to ascend the escalator while standing still, and the time it takes you to ascend the escalator while walking at a speed of x meters/second. Q: Some easy probability question on bounding the event of rain on a second day if it rained on the first. I'm sure there's someone else on here who gave a more detailed account. A follow-up required knowledge about union-bound if I recall correctly.
Person A walks up an escalator at 2 steps/second. Person B walks up an escalator at 3 steps/second. Person B gets on the escalator 5 seconds after A and arrives at the top X seconds after A. (I forgot the exact value of X) If the escalator is moving at 1 step/second, how many steps are visible on the escalator at a single point in time?
You have 10 chips and you want to split them into an arbitrary number of pots. You then take the product of the number of chips in the pots and maximize the product. Do this for 10, 20, and 100 chips.
Multiple questions about simple probability. The main problem to me was that time always felt short.
The final round, they give you a bunch of "poker chips" and then rapidly give you a bunch of things to bet on.
