Duelling Idiots and Other Probability Puzzlers by Paul J. Nahin
English | 22 July 2012 | ISBN: 0691155003 | 300 Pages | PDF | 8 MB

What are your chances of dying on your next flight, being called for jury duty, or winning the lottery? We all encounter probability problems in our everyday lives. In this collection of twenty-one puzzles, Paul Nahin challenges us to think creatively about the laws of probability as they apply in playful, sometimes deceptive, ways to a fascinating array of speculative situations.
