Re: Are you a "Mental Gymnast"?
Yes. My thought is that their answer (FAQ item 2.4) is horse-pucky.
The fallacy is that their answer assumes some sort
of causative connection between the two choices.
Well, sorry, but you're wrong. ;)
Everyone who's taken probability in college has done this problem, gotten equally annoyed at the answer, and finally a week later after their head exploding has resigned themselves to believe it's true.
