Hey folks,
Well, I know this post would come as a surprise especially after such a long break, but it's just that I was not able to find time and content to post. Anyways, better late than never! Here I start :)
Now, as some of you'll might be knowing, I started this blog with an idea to concentrate on problem solving and algorithms. But, as it turns out, puzzle solving is an integral part and it seems like I cannot do without that. Well, so may be I will start intermixing my posts now-onwards, with puzzles and code snippets that I hope should prove to be more helpful.
Ok, for this week, I have an interesting puzzle. Many of you might have heard it, but for those who haven't, this puzzle guarantees to give you a run for your sleep.
I am going back to my hometown on vacations, and I am already at the airport. It is a long queue of 100 people waiting to board the plane. We each have a ticket with our seats numbered, i-th person having the ticket for i-th seat. I am the last person in the line and not to mention, my seat was number 100. But first person in the line was a crazy drunk girl and she will randomly select her seat once she is in the flight. All others of us were normal and would occupy our respective seat if it was un-occupied. Otherwise, we will also select one of the empty seats at random. What is the probability that I will get to sit on seat #100.
Well, so get set go!
Happy puzzling,
Vivek
