I put a spinning colour wheel which has 3 red sectors and 1 black sector so therefore when spinning it each time theres a 3/4 chance of it landing on red

I wrote the odds of not picking a heart in a regular 52 deck of cards...

Thats easily the most generically maths answer so far ;)


One of my mates wrote 'the odds of me picking A in multiple choice question 3'
Needless to say, he failed dismally ;)

I'd love to see this 4 sided dice you claimed to have invented....

I guess it could be a triangular pyramid?
