| contents | In this short article, we present a solution to one of the probability puzzles that Daniel Litt, a mathematician at the University of Toronto, posted on his X account earlier this year. The main goal of this note is to show how some of the typical concepts taught in an undergraduate probability course can be used to solve these types of probability problems, which sound simple, but can be very difficult to solve. |
