Q:

Logical puzzle

At a restaurant, how could you choose one out of three desserts with equal probability with the help of a coin? What if the coin is biased and the bias is unknown?

Answer

Our solution:


Toss the coin twice.
Let TH, HT and TT correspond to the three choices.
And if you get HH, just repeat (so it takes 8/3 tosses on average).


BIASED COIN

If the coin was biased, TH and HT would occur with equal probability.
So you could assign THHT, HTTH and THTH to the three choices, with other 4-toss outcomes rejected.
Or you could assign HTT, THT and TTH to the three choices, with other 3-toss outcomes rejected.

A) their walls are covered with cilia B) they warm and humidify inhaled air
C) their walls are only one cell thick D) they move mucus through the lungs

Capillaries Tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen

and nutrients to individual cells. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, and have

a meter.)

 

Capillaries connect arterioles and venules, which are the smaller extensions of the larger arteries and veins.
