[smiley]aes/coffee.png[/smiley] Yes I am a heavy coffee drinker!
There are twelve streets: 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 13-15, 16-18, 19-21, 22-24, 25-27, 28-30, 31-33, and 34-36.
I bet only one number per street. If 17 comes first, I bet 17. If 36 comes next, I bet 17 and 36. And so forth and so on.
If any street reappears, I cross out this group; and I leave the number that I just occupied there.
If I won, it is time to go to the next level. Say retrack and bet two units on each following candidate.
If I did not win, I´ll continue betting the earliest numbers of the other streets.
AS SOON AS TWO STREETS HAVE BEEN CROSSED OUT, I´LL GO ONE STEP DOWN AND RETRACK
There are three numbers in each street. The probability that one street comes twice without repeating its earliest number is 2/3.
The probability that TWO streets become repeats without repeating their earliest numbers: (2/3)^2 = 0,444444444444.
Now you don´t need a calculator to subtract it from 1 and see 0,555555555555555555........
Good luck!
