Q
Bases loaded; Bottom of the ninth; Two out; Visitors lead 1-0
Batter slams a line drive over the head of the left fielder.
By the time the fielder catches up with the ball and fires it home three
runners have tagged and crossed the plate. As the last runner (the batter)
attempts to score the catcher tags the plate (not the runner) just before the
runner tags the plate. The game is over. What is the final score?
Q
Bases loaded; Bottom of the ninth; Two out; Visitors lead 1-0
Batter hits a slow roller toward first. The first baseman grabs it in fair
territory and waits on the first base path for the batter to come to him.
The batter sees this and stops. Two runners cross the plate. The first
baseman finally tosses the ball to the pitcher who tags first base just after
the third runner crosses the plate. The game is over. What is the final
score?

Marble madness
Q
This one’s tough - read carefully.
The Acme Marble Company manufactures Purple marbles and Blue marbles.
A bag of their marbles may contain any combination of Purple and Blue
marbles, including all Purple or all Blue marbles. All combinations are
equally probable (a bag of zero Purple marbles is just as likely as a bag of
X Purple marbles).
I bought a bag of marbles and pulled one out at random - it was Purple.
What is the probability that a second marble pulled at random from the same
bag would also be Purple?
