Re: [Phys-l] probability problem

[Carl Mungan <mungan@usna.edu>]

I like to summarize and write up matters. (Otherwise I forget them later.)

I have read over the posts of the past few days and rewritten the 
problem and solution posted at:

http://usna.edu/Users/physics/mungan/Scholarship/TwoAces.pdf


possibly foolishly disregarding John Denker's remark that it's very 
hard to write a probability question to give a desired answer.

Those interested are welcome to look and see if that writeup is an 
adequate summary. Note in particular the additional acknowledgements 
in the final paragraph. -Carl
