Why we like it:

  • ✅Short scenarios give you something interesting to reason through.
  • ✅Optional hints help you get unstuck before revealing the answer.
  • ✅Worked explanations help you understand why the answer makes sense.

Hint: Before calculating, list the possible outcomes and ask whether they're equally likely. Two possible results don't automatically mean a 50–50 chance.
