No... The answer is 14.7 times... Its additive probabilities because the events are not mutually exclusive...
1 + 6/5 + 6/4 + 2 + 3 + 6...
OK, here's the next one, its easy...
My wife and I were recently shopping at a New York mall when we found ourselves on the second floor. We had a bunch of packages with us and wanted to take the lift down. The lift was on the third floor when we got to the landing. I pressed the button but the lift did not stop at our floor and went to the first floor instead. I thought it must have been mechanical and waited. On its way up, the lift went to the fourth floor and then started coming down again but did not stop at our floor and went to the first floor again. On the way up, it went to the fifth floor. I was quite irritated by then and wanted to walk down lugging all our purchases. My wife told me to wait. She predicted the lift would go to the nineth floor and then stop at our floor. She was right!!!
How did she know?
Cheers S
