"Probability and Dice"
A gambling parlor has a pair of "fair" dice where the probability of rolling a '6' with each die is 1/6...
And, the parlor has a pair of "weighted" dice where the probability of rolling a '6' with each die is 1/4...
Suppose you pick up a pair of dice and roll double sixes (12). What is the probability that you selected the "weighted" dice?
(and, the answer is not 1/2!!)
