1857.0. "College Mathematics Journal #525" by RUSURE::EDP (Always mount a scratch monkey.) Wed Mar 16 1994 13:40
Proposed by Edwin Buchman, California State University, Fullerton, CA.
Each day I eat one candy from a container which starts with 90 mint
candies and 10 lemon candies, in accordance with the following
"lemon-conserving" rule: I draw a candy at random, and if it is mint I
eat it. If it is lemon, I put it back in the container and draw a
second time at random, eating this candy regardless of its flavor.
What is the probability that the final candy eaten is mint?
