Abstract

As trained probabilists, it has often been our experience that folks will ask our opinion about the likelihood of various events: “Wow! What are the odds of that happening?” At times our response is a polite smile, chuckle, and either a short knee-jerk response or a change of subject. But once in a while, someone poses a question or presents a circumstance that shows just how much we have to learn. The content of this article addresses just such an instance.
